• 1 The Scentinel® research was conducted by scientists in the BioEngineering group of HortResearch based at Ruakura Research Centre. The two principal researchers involved were Mr Rod McDonald, of HortResearch, and Dr Carolyn King, who at the time of the research had a 50:50 HortResearch:University of Waikato appointment. By agreement with HortResearch, the Scentinel will be further developed, manufactured and made available to conservation groups, farmers and other potential users, by Technology Transfer Ltd (TTL), an entity established for this purpose. For further information on TTL, contact Mr Tony Brenton-Rule, at 0064-4-5627895, mobile 0064-21-774745, or by email at [email protected]
