   Author : Alisa Rizvanovic; [2012]
   Keywords : Asian elephant; Elephas maximus; Behavioral testing; Olfactory discrimination; Olfactory memory;

   Abstract : Behavioral evidence suggests that Asian elephants strongly rely on their sense of smell in a variety of contexts including foraging and social communication. Using a food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were tested on their olfactory discrimination ability with 1-aliphatic alcohols, n-aldehydes, 2-ketones, n-carboxylic acids and with a set of twelve enantiomeric odor pairs.
