In this study, we analyzed the volatile organic compounds emitted by fecal samples collected from free-ranging wild boar captured in Doñana National Park, Spain, with an electronic nose system based on organically-functionalized gold nanoparticles. The animals were separated by the age group for performing the analysis. Adult (>24 months) and sub-adult (12-24 months) animals were anesthetized before sample collection, whereas the juvenile (24 months) and sub-adult (12-24 months) animals were anesthetized before sample collection, whereas the juvenile ( YR 2021 FD 2021-01-15 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/16999 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/16999 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 11, 2025
