Just like their wolf ancestors, dogs have an incredible sense of hearing and smell. Compared to humans, a dog’s sense of smell is 40x stronger. It makes you wonder why, with this much smelling power, they can’t seem to figure out that they were the ones to pass gas! Dogs have ha...
Marked morphological differences in the splanchnocranium (nasal bone, zygomatic arch and orbital angle), neurocranium (sagittal crest) and temporomandibular joint (due to different developments of the masticatory muscles) are highlighted on the wolf specimen compared to those in the domestic dog ...

Data for 137 domestic dog and 64 wolf individuals were collected based on radiographs and examination of macerated bones. Our analyses show that domestic dogs exhibit a similar sequence of dental and skeletal maturity as the ancestral wolf. Although the absolute change of the age at attainment of...
Ancestry reconstruction methods identified more than 300 genes with excess of wolf ancestry compared to random expectations, mainly related to key morphological features, and more than 2000 genes with excess of dog ancestry, playing important roles in lipid metabolism, in the regulation of circadian ...

Domesticated from gray wolves between 10 and 40 kya in Eurasia, dogs display a vast array of phenotypes that differ from their ancestors, yet mirror other domesticated animal species, a phenomenon known as the domestication syndrome. Here, we use signatures persisting in dog genomes to identify ge...
We investigated the spontaneous tendency of dog puppies, kittens and wolf pups to match their behaviour to actions demonstrated by a human, in the absence of food reward. Based on dogs’ inherent sociality and domestication history, we predicted that the tendency to match human actions is more ...
It’s a dog, it’s a fox, it’s a wolf… it’s a robot? A new dog-like robot has entered the field. Created to help keep airplanes and animals safe by imitating a predator (捕食者), the Aurora, as it is known, will soon begin its important work at the Fairbanks airport in ...
A major factor in dog welfare is a good relationship with their humans. In turn, living with a dog supports the wellbeing and even the mental and physical health of their human masters. In fact, the Palaeolithic partnership between humans and wolves was social and cooperative from its beginnin...
