Abstract

How can detection dogs support existing survey efforts, and when should they be engaged by land managers?
•Detection dogs are particularly useful in invasive species eradication programs, where locating all invaders is critical for program success.
•Detection dogs are consistently more effective than traditional survey techniques for collecting scats used in DNA sampling.
•Evaluating the performance of dog-handler teams is improving with the support of industry groups and increased global research effort.
