The dog detection allows timely removal by sanitation logging of first beetle-attacked trees before offspring emergence, preventing local beetle increases. Detection dogs rapidly learned responding to synthetic bark beetle pheromone components, with known chemical titres, allowing search training during winter in laboratory and field. Dogs trained on synthetics detected naturally attacked trees in summer at a distance of >100 m.

Notes

This research was funded by two grants from "The Södra Foundation for Research, Development and Education", Växjö, Sweden to AJ. FS & GB was supported by the Linnaeus programme 'Insect Chemical Ecology, Ethology and Evolution' (IC-E3, #217-2006-1750) at SLU and later to FS ('Rapid olfactory detection of insect and fungal damage in forests', #2013-1583) both from "The Swedish Research Council Formas". FS was further supported by EXTEMIT-K project financed by OP RDE at Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/15-003/0000433).
