I notice I’m curious about the odor measurement test—in particular the source of the samples to be measured.
(My expectation is that the odors to test were selected by a human—which is a totally normal and real bias to have)
Did they select down to odors that would be expected to be both common in the animals normal habitat, and informationally useful to reproduction or survival?
Thanks for sharing this!
