Dog-human Relationship Affects Problem Solving Behavior in the Dog
In this paper we present evidence that simple problem solving in the dog is strongly influenced by the relationship with the owner. Twenty-eight dog-owner pairs were observed in a novel situation and when performing a simple problem-solving task. Dogs were categorized according to their relationship with the owners (`companionship" or "working relationship"). In addition to the behavioral analy...
متن کاملVegetation of Prairie Dog Colonies and Non-Colonized Shortgrass Prairie
Black-tailed prairie dogs have declined by 98% in the past century. Due to continued declines, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the species as a candidate for listing in 2000. Prairie dogs foster both plant and animal diversity, and their continued presence is a concern in the Great Plains. We compared vegetation structure and composition of black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludov...

متن کاملPrairie Dog: Cuddly Pet or Trojan Horse?
cles analyze tularemia outbreaks, and one examines the pathologic features of monkeypox in commercially traded prairie dogs. While the prairie dog–associated tularemia outbreak and the first U.S. monkeypox outbreak highlight health risks to humans of the unregulated trade of wildcaught animals, they also raise broader issues. Exotic animal import and export have altered the composition of nativ...
متن کاملElectrogenic bicarbonate secretion by prairie dog gallbladder.
Pathological rates of gallbladder salt and water transport may promote the formation of cholesterol gallstones. Because prairie dogs are widely used as a model of this event, we characterized gallbladder ion transport in animals fed control chow by using electrophysiology, ion substitution, pharmacology, isotopic fluxes, impedance analysis, and molecular biology. In contrast to the electroneutr...
