Context-Specific Arousal During Resting in Wolves and Dogs: Effects of Domestication?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Due to domestication, dogs differ from wolves in the way they respond to their environment, including to humans. Selection for tameness and the associated changes to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation have been proposed as the primary ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Dogs’ increased human-directed sociability compared to wolves may be the result of increased oxytocin system activity and decreased stress responses, but comparative studies accounting for life experience are lacking. We compared hand-raised, pack-living

Integrating the processes in the evolutionary system of domestication [PDF]
, 2010 Genetics has long been used as a source of evidence to understand domestication origins. A recent shift in the emphasis of archaeological evidence from a rapid transition paradigm of hunter-gatherers to agriculturalists, to a protracted transition ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 The results of current wolf-dog studies on human-directed behaviors seem to suggest that domestication has acted on dogs’ general attitudes and not on specific socio-cognitive skills.

Land, 2023 In this paper, we use preliminary archaeological data spanning the Iron Age through Medieval periods (ca. 800 BCE to 1200 CE) in the Juuku Valley in Kyrgyzstan on the south side of Lake Issyk-Kul to model land use across vertical mountain zones. We have (

Domesticated Megafauna of Americas: Needs, Possibilities and Results [PDF]
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2020 The article aims to determine why so few domestic animals originated in American domestication centres. The knowledge has been gathered from interdisciplinary sources taking into account recent archaeogenomic and spatial analysis research.

Pet dogs prefer to work alone than to engage in a challenging cooperative task with conspecifics [PDF]
PeerJUnderstanding the role of a partner is key to effective human cooperation. While we know that non-human animals extensively cooperate with each other, how well they understand the role of their partner is unclear.

A genetic perspective on the domestication continuum [PDF]
, 2018 For the sake of simplicity, genetic studies have generally modelled domestication within a framework of strong bottlenecks (also called founder events), reproductive isolation between wild and domestic populations and strong artificial selection. New DNA

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 A wide array of species throughout the animal kingdom has shown the ability to distinguish between quantities. Aside from being important for optimal foraging decisions, this ability seems to also be of great relevance in group-living animals as it ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Studies of domestication genetics enrich our understanding of how domestication shapes genetic and morphological diversity. We characterized patterns of genetic variation in two independently domesticated pumpkins and their wild progenitors to assess and
