1. 1. Olfactory discrimination performance and longterm odor memory in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)

   Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Författare :Alisa Rizvanovic; [2012]
   Nyckelord :Asian elephant; Elephas maximus; Behavioral testing; Olfactory discrimination; Olfactory memory;

   Sammanfattning : Behavioral evidence suggests that Asian elephants strongly rely on their sense of smell in a variety of contexts including foraging and social communication. Using a food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were tested on their olfactory discrimination ability with 1-aliphatic alcohols, n-aldehydes, 2-ketones, n-carboxylic acids and with a set of twelve enantiomeric odor pairs.

3. 2. Olfactory discrimination of aliphatic 2-ketones and 1-alcohols in South African fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus)

   Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Elin Lord; [2009]
   Nyckelord :Arctocephalus pusillus; Aliphatic ketones; Aliphatic alcohols; Odor discrimination; Olfaction;

   Sammanfattning : Odor discrimination ability was tested in four female South African fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) using a food-rewarded two-choice instrumental conditioning paradigm. The seals’ ability to distinguish between members of homologous series of aliphatic ketones (2-butanone to 2-heptanone) and alcohols (1-butanol to 1-heptanol) was assessed. LÄS MER
