Table 2.
Mean results presented as sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in percent, including ± standard deviation (SD), calculated from 21 randomized and double-blind experimental searches carried out on trees and untreated wooden pallets in a semi-field condition between 11 to 20th of May 2020 at the University of Southeast Norway including both invasive and native wood borers. A dog`s response to a scent sample could be either; TP true positive response, FP false positive response, TN true negative response and FN false negative response. CR total number of correct responses, ICR total number of incorrect responses, and TOT R total number of responses.
