Do dogs form reputations of humans? No effect of age after indirect and direct experience in a food-giving situation - Animal Cognition Animals can form reputations of individuals through direct interactions or by observing interactions with a third party, known as eavesdropping. Given their cooperative relationship with humans, consi...

Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) recognise human visual attention from body and face orientation Visual attention has mostly been studied in primarily visual species, such as dogs and nonhuman primates. Although elephants rely more on acoustic and olfactory cues, they also use visual displays and...

It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.

The unfulfilled potential of dogs in studying behavioural ecology and evolution during the Anthropocene Dogs have the potential to be an exceptional resource for studying ecological, behavioural and evolutionary processes. However, several widespread mis…

Clive Wynne and I wrote a review about dogs, and how their great potential as a model species in behavioral ecology and evolution is overlooked.

Several misconceptions have likely led to this and I will break them down in a thread...1/6
