Shark Scent Detection

The book progresses from detailing the biological mechanisms of shark olfaction, including the structure of their olfactory organs and neural pathways, to examining how scent shapes their predatory behavior and ecological roles through case studies of different shark species. Finally, it addresses the conservation implications of disrupting shark olfaction, highlighting how pollutants and ocean acidification can impair their ability to detect prey and reproduce.

This comprehensive approach integrates findings from marine biology, neurobiology, and conservation biology, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the biology and conservation of these fascinating creatures.
