Following my May 2022 post about Elinor Karlsson’s Science article on the genetic survey of dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project, and its conclusion that a dog’s breed does not predict its behavior, ...

Behavioral genetics is a field of scientific research that examines genetic and environmental contributions to individual differences in behavior. Behavioral genetics aims to answer the fundamental ...

Scientists are beginning to trace a surprising link between the genes that shape dog behavior and the biology that underpins human mood and social traits. Instead of treating canine affection and ...

The targeted manipulation of individual genes in zebrafish larvae changes their behavioral responses to visual stimuli and thus affects the collective behavior of the animals. Individual zebrafish ...

Whether genes are able to compromise between their competing interests can have consequences for development. pressureUA/iStock via Getty Images Plus As a species, humans like to think that we are ...

This half-hour talk describes the specification of the ACE model that is widely used in human behavioral genetic studies. It considers how a model where a, c and e path coefficients are estimated ...

Humans have probably shared their homes with dogs ever since they first settled. So it could be argued that there is no such thing as “human society” without including animals as part of it. Our long ...
