(2) 4-6 Some dogs perform a critical task for wildlife ecologists and biologists: animal scat detection. The fecal matter of many animals provides clues to their health, and studying poop allows researchers to avoid trapping or killing animals to obtain this data. Wadsworth conveys her fascination with the topic through excellent photographs, copious asides and text boxes, and resources for further investigation. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
