Abstract Synopsis

  • The article explains that the exceptional sense of smell in dogs is partly due to unique nasal airflow patterns during sniffing, which help transport odorants efficiently to sensing neurons.
  • Experimental data shows that dogs' sniffing frequency, airflow rate, and lung volume scale with their body size, and airflow simulations reveal that each nostril collects separate odor samples, aiding odor source localization.
  • The study suggests that olfactory acuity in mammals depends significantly on how nasal airflow patterns are adapted, with dogs having specialized structures that enhance odorant transport, unlike humans.]
