NEW PAPER in PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment. We know pet dogs can discriminate facial expressions. Can free-ranging dogs without owners do it too? We did an experiment in Morocco to find out. peerj.com/articles/15601 #AnimalBehavior #Zoology #research

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

Do free-ranging dogs observe humans? And do they learn from them? e.g. when looking for food? Yes, yes, and yes! They do! 📷 Read our recently published paper on Current Zoology: Free-ranging dogs match a human’s preference in a foraging task academic.oup.com/cz/article/doi…

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!

🚨 New Paper Out! 🚨 Why do dogs wag their tails? | Surprisingly we still know very little about this yet very conspicuous behaviour! Read more on Biology Letters royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Congratulations Silvia Leonetti Taylor Hersh Giulia Cimarelli, PhD @AndreaRavignani !!

🚨🚨If you are looking for a master thesis internship in a wonderful sunny country🌅, with an amazing team🤸, conducting cutting-edge science📹, where you get to "play" with dog puppies🐶🐶, this is for you! Continuously accepted applications, first available places in April 2024

🎊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! 😎 rdcu.be/dGF3L

My first paper of the PhD is out! 😃
