Population dynamics of free-roaming dogs in Europe and implications for population control

This study quantifies free-roaming dog population dynamics in Europe, finding lower survival and higher entry rates in Lviv compared to Pescara, and highlights the role of movement between subpopulations in recruitment.

Predicting individual shelter dog behaviour after adoption using longitudinal behavioural assessment: a hierarchical Bayesian approach

This study predicts shelter dog behavior post-adoption using a hierarchical Bayesian model, finding moderate correlation between shelter and post-adoption behavior with good predictive accuracy.

Aggressiveness as a latent personality trait of domestic dogs: testing local independence and measurement invariance

The paper tests local independence and measurement invariance of aggressiveness as a latent trait in shelter dogs using structural equation modeling and finds residual relationships and interactions with sex and age.

Modelling personality, plasticity and predictability in shelter dogs

The paper models longitudinal behavioural data of shelter dogs to assess personality, plasticity, and predictability, finding that incorporating all three improves predictive accuracy.
