Wolf-dog genetics - Iljin - 1941 () Citation Context ...h it from other breed groups. The level of genetic distance between dogs and wolves is in some senses surprising given the fact that wolves and dogs can successfully interbreed and produce offspring (=-=Iljin, 1941-=-). Indeed, ...
(2001). These discrimination factors were determined through experimental research on modern humans, but to the best of our knowledge, such data do not yet exist for domestic dogs, however, similar offsets have been used in dietary analyses of wolf fur and bone collagen (Kays and Feranec, ...
2.1 Genetics of Canines and Background for Their Use in Toxicity Testing The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, is a direct descendant of the gray wolf, Canis lupus. DNA analysis suggests that the modern-day dog is derived from multiple regional wolf populations (Cagan and Bass, 2016). The geno...
“The diversity in size, shape, and behavior in the dog is genetically tractable,” wrote the authors of the 2010 study in Genetics that unveiled the mapped genome. “This ‘adaptive’ variation can be couched in the developmental context of an extent progenitor, the wolf, to illum...
Serologic investigations of canine parvovirus and canine distemper in relation to wolf (Canis lupus) pup mortalities. Twenty-one serum samples from 18 wolves (Canis lupus) were collected from 1985 to 1990 from northwestern Montana (USA) and southeastern British Columbia, C... MR Johnson,DK Boyd,...
The species' molecular genetics indicate that, although it is far removed from the genus Canis, it is nonetheless more closely related to it than to other canid lineages. Phylogenetic studies place L. pictus and Cuon alpinus into a clade of "wolf-like canids" alongside the extant members of...
[45,63]. This supports the presence of confounding, selection or collider biases in the current or previous studies in relation to neutering results e.g. where biopsy data is used to define osteosarcoma cases, owners who can afford histology may also be better able to afford neutering, ...
Tucked into the landscape of South Salem, New York, the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) is a haven of hope and… Goldendoodle Developed in 1969 as guide dogs for people with allergies, Goldendoodles are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a… Chinese Crested Dog It’s tough to ...
" Based on his own research as well as the latest findings in neuroscience, ethology, genetics, and animal welfare, Clive Wynne concludes that the bond between dogs and humans is based on their deep devotion to us. Part memoir, part scientific detective story, and part call to action, this...
Frank and Frank (1985) also noted a number of additional qualitative differences in the cognitive approaches taken by wolf and dog puppies. Wolves were more persistent and independent; they would spend a longer time focused on gaining direct access to the food, while malamutes would tend to ...
