I’m very grateful of these metrics/interest in my research, to be 32nd out of 2580 tracked articles in Nature’s Scientific Reports is quite something - amazing, thanks to everyone who’s been reading my publication ❤️ 🐺 🐶 ❤️

Research: Selective breeding has constrained communication abilities in domestic dogs versus wolves
A new study from researchers at Durham University has found that the process of domestication and selective breeding has limited the ability of domestic dogs to use facial expressions to convey affective states (emotions) as effectively as their wolf ancestors.

Please enjoy my new publication in Nature Scientific Reports!! This is the first quantitative evidence of domestic dogs being facially less expressive than wolves for a range of nine emotions!! The sister publication to this study will be coming soon.
