Evaluating the effectiveness of participatory science dog teams to detect devitalized Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) egg masses

|
By Clark CC, Andrew NR, Taylor MK, Sally E Dickinson
| PeerJ
We investigated whether participatory science dog teams, trained using devitalized SLF egg masses, could reliably detect these targets and generalize their skills to live SLF egg masses. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of these teams in successfully detecting SLF egg masses using devitalized training samples and generalizing them to live samples.

Introduction Ketone bodies (“ketones”) are endogenous products of liver fatty acid metabolism. In humans, ketones rise from low basal levels during states of prolonged fasting or carbohydrate restriction when low insulin levels and increased free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations lead to an upregulation of ketogenesis. Ketones, along with FFAs, are released into the blood and enter cells serving as alternative energy substrates to glucose.
