1. Jealousy, competition, or a contextual cue for reward?.

   

   | Contributor(s):: Thomas R. Zentall

   Emotions are difficult to assess, even in humans. The attribution of jealousy in an animal like a dog is especially difficult because performance of a particular behavior in the context of another animal receiving a reward may not be easily distinguishable from intra-species competition or...

4. Pigeons and Humans Time Miscued Intervals

   

   | Contributor(s):: Shrinidhi Subramaniam

   Cues signaling time to reinforcer availability can be highly informative, somewhat informative, or uninformative of the specific time to reinforcement. The purpose of this series of studies was to characterize the functional relation between miscues and pigeon and human response patterns in a...

5. Do dogs eavesdrop on human interactions in a helping situation?

   | Contributor(s):: Jim, H. L., Marshall-Pescini, S., Range, F.

6. Synergistic effect of an ultraviolet feeding cue for an avian repellent and protection of agricultural crops

   

   | Contributor(s):: Werner, Scott J., DeLiberto, Shelagh T., Pettit, Susan E., Mangan, Anna M.

   Application strategies for avian repellents are needed to maintain efficacious repellent concentrations throughout the period of needed crop protection. We investigated the repellency of an ultraviolet (UV) feeding cue in the absence of postingestive consequences, the combination of the UV...

7. Effectiveness of verbal and gestural signals and familiarity with signal-senders on the performance of working dogs

   | Contributor(s):: Scandurra, Anna, Alterisio, Alessandra, Marinelli, Lieta, Mongillo, Paolo, Semin, Gün Refik, D’Aniello, Biagio

   We assessed how highly trained dogs respond to gestural versus verbal signals when their handlers or an unfamiliar person asked them to perform an obedience task. Dogs were requested to perform four different actions (“Sit”, “Down”, “Stay” and “Come”) upon receiving congruent (only gestural or...

8. Effects of breed group and development on dogs' willingness to follow a human misleading advice

9. Similarity between an unfamiliar human and the owner affects dogs' preference for human partner when responding to an unsolvable problem

10. Juvenile Domestic Pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) Use Human-Given Cues in an Object Choice Task

    | Contributor(s):: Christian Nawroth, Mirjam Ebersbach, Eberhard von Borell

    Research on the comprehension of human-given cues by domesticated as well as non-domesticated species has received considerable attention over the last decade. While several species seem to be capable of utilizing these cues, former work with domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) has shown...

11. The Role of Speech Experience on Cue Trading in Parakeets

    | Contributor(s):: Daniel L.E. Carter, Alyssa D. Tronolone, Kanwal Asif, Ann Cheruvil

    Speech perception is a crucial element in the process of human vocal communication, but there are many unanswered questions about the role speech experience plays in this process. This research investigates if experience with human speech sounds will influence speech perception in budgerigars....

    | Contributor(s):: Brauer, J., Keckeisen, M., Pitsch, A., Kaminski, J., Call, J., Tomasello, M.

16. Discrimination of familiar human faces in dogs (Canis familiaris)

    

    | Contributor(s):: Ludwig Huber, Anais Racca, Billy Scaf, Zsofia Viranyi, Friederike Range

    Faces are an important visual category for many taxa, and the human face is no exception to this. Because faces differ in subtle ways and possess many idiosyncratic features, they provide a rich source of perceptual cues. A fair amount of those cues are learned through social interactions and are...
