Language preference in the domestic dog (Canis familiaris)

Animal Cognition, 2022
Studies have shown that both cotton-top tamarins as well as rats can discriminate between two languages based on rhythmic cues. This is similar to the capabilities of young infants, who also rely on rhythmic cues to differentiate between languages. However, the animals in these studies did not have long-term language exposure, so these studies did not ...

Coccidiosis in Dogs (Canis familiaris)

2019
This chapter presents essential information of coccidiosis in dogs. There are four species of Cystoisospora considered to be valid in dogs, C. canis, C. ohioensis, C. burrowsi, and C. neorivolta. Extraintestinal stages of C. canis, C. neorivolta, and C. burrowsi in tissues of dogs are unknown; however, biological evidence indicated that C.

Social Learning of Goal-Directed Actions in Dogs (Canis familiaris): Imitation or Emulation?

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2019
A goal-directed action is composed of two main elements on which the observer may focus its attention: the movement performed (i.e., the action) and the outcome (i.e., the goal).

Molecular characterization of the VH repertoire in Canis familiaris

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2010
The immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region in vertebrates is composed of many genes. However, the gene number and the extent of diversity among the VH gene segments vary with the species. To gain insight into the dog VH repertoire, we analyzed its genome sequence.

Peptidergic regulation of feeding in the dog (Canis familiaris)

Peptides, 1984
Although the incidence of obesity in the domesticated dog is high, few studies have investigated the regulation of food intake in this species. In the present study we investigated the response of the dog to a number of putative satiety agents including cholecystokinin (CCK), bombesin, calcitonin and naloxone.

Global bias reliability in dogs (Canis familiaris)

Animal Cognition, 2016
Dogs enrolled in a previous study were assessed two years later for reliability of their local/global preference in a discrimination test with the same hierarchical stimuli used in the previous study (Experiment 1) and with a novel stimulus (Experiment 2).

Visual discrimination of species in dogs (Canis familiaris)

Animal Cognition, 2013
In most social interactions, an animal has to determine whether the other animal belongs to its own species. This perception may be visual and may involve several cognitive processes such as discrimination and categorization. Perceptual categorization is likely to be involved in species characterized by a great phenotypic diversity. As a consequence of

Comparative Dimensions of Testes, Epididymides and Spermatozoa of Australian Dingoes (Canis-Familiaris-Dingo) and Domestic Dogs (Canis-Familiaris-Familiaris) - Some Effects of Domestication

Australian Journal of Zoology, 1993
The dimensions of testes, epididymides and spermatozoa of Australian dingoes (Canis familiaris dingo) and a sample of domestic dogs (Canis familiaris familiaris), chosen to lie within the range of dingo body weights, were compared. There were no significant differences for body weight or testis weight but total epididymal weight, the caput + corpus ...

Lateralised behaviour in the domestic dog, Canis familiaris

Behavioural Processes, 2003
Paw use on three tasks in 53 domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) was studied to determine whether the animals exhibited a significant paw preference, and, if so, to explore the direction and strength of the dogs' preferred paw use, both within, and between, tasks. The influence of the dogs' sex on their paw preferences was also explored.

Do Dogs (Canis familiaris) Understand Invisible Displacement?

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2004
Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) perform above chance on invisible displacement tasks despite showing few other signs of possessing the necessary representational abilities. Four experiments investigated how dogs find an object that has been hidden in 1 of 3 opaque boxes.
