Behavioral genetics is a field of scientific research that examines genetic and environmental contributions to individual differences in behavior. Behavioral genetics aims to answer the fundamental ...

Following my May 2022 post about Elinor Karlsson’s Science article on the genetic survey of dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project, and its conclusion that a dog’s breed does not predict its behavior, ...

Scientists are beginning to trace a surprising link between the genes that shape dog behavior and the biology that underpins human mood and social traits. Instead of treating canine affection and ...

The targeted manipulation of individual genes in zebrafish larvae changes their behavioral responses to visual stimuli and thus affects the collective behavior of the animals. Individual zebrafish ...

The study provides a comprehensive behavioral dataset of Drosophila melanogaster, categorized by genetic background, sex, and social context (isolated or in groups). Beyond enabling detailed analyses ...

This half-hour talk describes the specification of the ACE model that is widely used in human behavioral genetic studies. It considers how a model where a, c and e path coefficients are estimated ...

In Hungary, ethological research is most often identified with tests on dogs, but novel methodological advances could bring another species, the paradise fish, into the spotlight. Fish are easy to ...
