Summary: Domestic dogs exhibit social cognitive abilities that are unique compared to other species, including their closest relative, the wolf. These abilities, such as reading human gestures and paying attention to human eyes and voice, may have a heritable component and have been enhanced through selection during the process of domestication.

Summary: Hepadnaviruses can be found in dogs, similar to the hepadnavirus in domestic cats. Canine hepadnavirus can cause altered hepatic markers, but its role in canine health remains unclear.

Summary: The study shows that some dogs with a vocabulary of object names are able to learn the names of new objects in a short period of time and retain those in long-term memory, which could be of significance for studying the mental mechanisms related to word acquisition in non-human species.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive inventory of words to which owners believe their dogs respond differentially and consistently. The owners reported that their dogs responded to an average of 89 words, half of which were commands. Factors such as the dogs' professional work status, learning speed of new tricks, and breed type predicted the dogs' response to words.

Summary: The frequency of caregivers' referential labels at 18 months is more strongly associated with children's language outcomes than referential gestures or a combination of both. Caregivers' total words also predict children's language processing speed, but not vocabulary size as well.

Summary: The study found that dogs can to some extent use the past accuracy of human social informants to make decisions, showing relatively high intelligence; and when faced with accurate and inaccurate informants, dogs have different behavioral responses.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between linguistic and facial expressions of emotions. The findings suggest that facial expressions play a more dominant role in emotion perception compared to emotive markers. Additionally, consistent and inconsistent combinations of emotive markers and facial expressions convey distinct social meanings and communicative intentions. Therefore, it is important to consider the context in which emotive markers occur in emotional expression.

Summary: This study investigates the occurrence of juvenile cataracts in a family of Wirehaired Pointing Griffon dogs. Through genetic sequencing and pedigree analysis, the FYCO1:c.2024delG gene variant is identified as a potential causative variant for cataracts in this breed.

Summary: This interpretative review discusses the scientific literature on semiochemicals in pigs and dogs and aims to clarify the terminology used in the field. It summarizes studies on the definitions of semiochemicals and related molecules, olfactory organs, and the mechanisms and applications of semiochemicals in pigs and dogs. The review challenges the notion that the vomeronasal organ is the sole site of pheromone sensing. Furthermore, it highlights the need for evidence before labeling something as a pheromone, as well as the efficacy of certain semiochemicals marketed as pheromones. The review suggests that interomones may have a more powerful effect on dog behavior and physiology than semiochemicals marketed as pheromones. Bringing logic and uniformity to the field of semiochemicals can benefit animals and reduce consumer confusion.

Summary: Three experiments studied how adult learners acquire a new adjective in the context of ambiguous word usage. Findings suggest that learners infer a maximum standard of comparison when provided with information about agents' goals, which helps explain contextual sources of imprecision and the learning process.

Summary: Research on the Object Choice Task shows that dogs perform better when objects are further apart or gestures are closer, which can be explained by mechanistic strategies. When objects and gestures are distant, dogs may respond through non-communicative mechanisms.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of exposure to terrorism on domestic tourists' risk perception and travel intentions, particularly from a non-western-centric perspective. Through interviews with 52 Nigeria-based domestic tourists, it was found that the type of exposure to terrorism (indirect, semi-direct, direct) influenced tourists' risk perception and travel intentions differently. Results suggest that a model illustrating the interplay between each type of terrorism exposure, risk perception, and travel intentions can be developed.

Summary: This study investigates public acceptance and usage of automated buses through a panel survey conducted in Stockholm. The results indicate that users' needs and travel demands have a strong influence on their intentions to use such a transportation mode and recommend the service to others. However, there is a gap between intention and actual behavior.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of food and leisure stimuli as reinforcers for domestic dogs. The results showed that domestic dogs generally preferred food over leisure items and that food was a more effective reinforcer for dog behavior. These findings are important for dog owners and trainers, indicating that using food as a reinforcer may lead to better training results.
