Estimating the heritability of cognitive traits across dog breeds reveals highly heritable inhibitory control and communication factors.

abstract：:Two-dimensional (2D) displays of real three-dimensional (3D) objects are frequently used experimental tools in animal studies. Whether marmoset monkeys, with their highly diverse and complex anti-predation strategies, readily recognized 2D representations of potential threats has yet to be determined, as seen in other...
