Re: Article on the movement of air in a dog's head
I was really struggling with the term: macrosmia. If you do a search for the term in Google all that comes up is fetal macrosmia which is a baby born over 8 lbs.
This made it really difficult to understand the article - not that research papers need to be written to be understood by the general public.
However, if you look up macrosmatic it clears things up - a little. It means an animal or species with a highly formed sense of smell.
So, I guess the paper is about how the shape and size of the nasal cavity contributes to smell acuity as much as the size of the sensory gland.

Re: Article on the movement of air in a dog's head
wow, that was very interesting !! Thanks for posting. Sadie has a lot of air movement in her head HAHAHAHA
I have always watched Sadie sniff and its quite funny but with a purpose.
It is more in depth of just the size and shape, but in general, yes.
