Into the Illusive World

Dr. Paul A. Moore (Ph.D. Boston University) has spent almost thirty years researching the sensory abilities of different animals as the founder of the Laboratory for Sensory Ecology at Bowling Green State University. Working with terrestrial, aquatic, and marine animals, Dr. Moore’s research has appeared in over 100 peer-reviewed articles, on Australian TV, radio, and in his first book “The Hidden Power of Smell”. He spends most of his summers in the field working on the organisms that live in the lakes, rivers, and streams of Northern Michigan.
