🚨🚨Fully-funded PhD position opening KLIVV Vienna Vetmeduni!! Topic: Social learning strategies in free-ranging dogs Start: October 2023. See 🧵 for details:

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…

A lot of research is conducted on pet dogs, but what about free-ranging dogs? Exciting social research on rover (sorry) by Giulia Cimarelli, PhD #ASABwinter2023

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!

Dogs may wag their tails so much due to rhythm-loving humans, scientists say dlvr.it/T1Tn6n

Proud to share this opinion piece co-authored with the amazing Silvia Leonetti Taylor Hersh @AndreaRavignani ! And excited about all the research that we can still do on dogs and their complex tail wagging! 🤩

Have you ever wondered: “Why do dogs wag their tails?” Together with Giulia Cimarelli, PhD Taylor Hersh @AndreaRavignani we summarise existing research on this behaviour and we put forward two evolutionary hypotheses to explain its occurrence in domestic dogs! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Thanks Science News for the interview!

What does your dog’s tail wag really mean? | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl… 🐕 such a nice field of research!

🚨🚨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

Honoured to talk about our moroccan free-ranging dogs and have plenty of discussions about free dogs around the world! Looking forward to it!

🚨New paper out!🚨Street-wise dog testing: testing free-ranging dogs in a complex behavioural test battery is possible and it provides reliable results: dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… Vetmeduni KLIVV Vienna SvenjaCapitain Giulia Cimarelli, PhD Urša Blenkuš Dr. Sarah Marshall-Pescini Friederike Range

🎊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
