My first paper of the PhD is out! 😃

🎊New paper out! When given a chance between cooperating with their owners for a better reward or working alone for a less nice treat, dogs will significantly work with their owners! And not just because they do follow their humans or the nice treat! 😎

So glad to have had the opportunity to talk about our research with free-ranging dogs! Thanks Defunct ASAB Conference and its organisers for it! To know more about our research, follow Domestication Lab Vienna and the free-ranging dogs pages on IG and FB!

Do free-ranging dogs observe humans? And do they learn from them? e.g. when looking for food? Yes, yes, and yes! They do! 📷

The current #wolf debate in Europe has the wrong focus. The EC demands recent numbers of wolves, but do these numbers really matter? EU members share a commitment to have healthy sustainable populations of wolves across Europe, so this implies we need to coexist with them. 1/12

Join us Domestication Lab Vienna to study social learning strategies in free-ranging dogs in Morocco! 🇲🇦🐕

Five years we studied this #wolf , gw979m, the first breeding male in >150 y in Belgium. Killed in traffic. 7 pups will have a hard time surviving. The end of an icon of nature in Belgium.
