Urban foxes initially show heightened fear toward novel objects but adjust it over time, ending up with slightly reduced fear responses compared to rural foxes at the end of the experiment. 🦊 doi.org/10.1093/cz/zoae023 @MarshallPescini

Free-ranging dogs🐶can use heterospecific social information to make decisions during a foraging task - behavioural flexibility can help navigate a novel social information scenario. doi.org/10.1093/cz/zoad046……

🚨🚨PhD position alert!! 🚨🚨We are looking for a doctoral student to carry out behavioural research on acoustic and visual communication in wolves and dogs @ Comparative Cognition Lab (University of Neuchatel, Switzerland) and the @DomLabVienna (@VetmeduniVienna, Austria)
The successful candidate is expected to
- possess a MSc degree in a relevant discipline
- demonstrate strong interest in animal cognition
- have practical experience collecting and scoring behavioural data
- show aptitude in statistics and data processing
- be fluent in English
The @DomLabVienna is at the @ecbb2024! Go check the posters of our PhD students @UBlenkus on the personality of free-ranging dogs, @DarioStaric on size perception in dogs, and @SvenjaCapitain on dog-wolf differences during conflicts with humans!
And hopefully you didn’t miss the talk by @aberghaenel on prenatal stress effects yesterday!

📢Have a look at this paper published in May by the @DomLabVienna! "Urbanization does not affect red foxes’ interest in anthropogenic food, but increases their initial cautiousness"

How does urbanization affect wildlife? New paper out on the effect of urbanization on red foxes' exploration and fear when encountering a novel human-made object! 🤩 @KLIVVWien @VetmeduniVienna

If the object was empty, differently urbanized foxes behaved similarly, but when food was present, urbanized foxes showed less fear than less urbanized ones! Congratulations to the urban wolves (+ foxes, apparently 😁) team! @MarshallPescini
