Abstract

Pia Riddell studied the African wild dog. She developed tools to non-invasively monitor immunity and social unity and validated the perception of a new pharmacophore developed dog appeasing pheromones (phDAP). These tools can now be used to enhance their welfare during stressful management interventions.
