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

Animal cognition - 1 Sept 2020

Gnanadesikan Gitanjali E, Hare Brian, Snyder-Mackler Noah, MacLean Evan L

Abstract excerpt

Trait heritability is necessary for evolution by both natural and artificial selection, yet we know little about the heritability of cognitive traits. Domestic dogs are a valuable study system for questions regarding the evolution of phenotypic diversity due to their extraordinary intraspecific variation. While previous studies have investigated morphological and behavioral variation across dog breeds, few...
