When comparing the behavior and cognition of different species, several caveats need to be kept in mind such as the population the animals originated from as well as the kind of experiences they have acquired. In regard to wolves and dogs, several research groups have reared the animals in ...
(2000). They reported that both wolves and dogs indicated a food location to a human partner by alternating their gaze between the food location and the human. However, the wolves did so less often than the dogs. These results may suggest that domestication has facilitated the development of ...
The behaviour differences between conditions when the Handler or the Unfamiliar person left the wolves and dogs. There were no interactions between the species and the leaving person, we used combined plots only for illustration sake. Scores can be higher than 100 due to the summing of different...
A comparison between wolves, Canis lupus, and dogs, Canis familiaris, in showing behaviour towards humans. Anim. Behav. 2016,122,59-66.HEBERLEIN, M. et al. A comparison between wolves, Canis lupus, and dogs, Canis familiaris, in showing behaviour towards humans. Animal Behaviour, v. 122, ...
Based on functional similarity between dog-owner and mother-infant attachments, we hypothesised that jealous behaviour can be evoked in dogs, similarly to children. In our study owners focused their attention solely on the test partner, while they ignored their dog. We deployed familiar and ...
trait to the one observed today. For example, an antecedent behaviour to tail wagging by dogs might be tail-raising and tail-vibrating behaviours in ancestral wolves. Perhaps when a prey animal was sighted, such behaviours were used to signal other pack members that a chase was about to ...
Although there are vast differences between certain aspects of today’s environments and those experienced by humanity’s ancestors (as a result of technological advances), other aspects have changed very little (such as the dangers of parasites and infectious diseases, the desirability of attracting ...

The comparison between the primary caregiver and the stranger does not address this issue because any difference in the dogs' reactions might be merely due to differences in familiarity. The comparison between familiar humans and the primary caregiver has revealed that dogs indeed react differently to...
2007; reviewed in Hall and Wynne 2012). Behavioural traits of dogs have also been shown to have a genetic component, supported by significant within-breed genetic variance (Ilska et al. 2017), pronounced differences in behavioural characteristics between dog breeds (Mehrkam and Wynne 2014; Eken...
