Beyond Appearances: The Hidden Coat Diversity of the Sicilian Mastiff Revealed by Integrated Phenotypic and Genetic Analyses.. Coat colour is one of the most recognizable and traditionally selected traits in dog breeds. However, despite its apparent simplicity, it represents a biologically complex phenotype, shaped by the interaction of multiple genetic loci, modifier genes, and variable phenotypic expression, challenging standardized phenotypic classification. This study presents the first characterization of coat colour and texture in the Sicilian Mastiff, integrating pedigree records, photographic assessment, and genetic analyses. Breeder-declared pedigree coat colour was examined for 76…

"See Detroit Like We Do": White Savior Capitalism and the Myth of Black Obsolescence. Abstract: This essay investigates the phenomenon of wealthy white men who use financial means and power to "revive" Detroit after a perceived "death" through what we call white savior capitalism.

Behavioral components define operational suitability metric for detection dog success.. Introduction To ensure effective development and assessment of detection dogs, Auburn University Canine Performance Sciences program has implemented a structured behavioral evaluation at four developmental milestones. Methods At each timepoint, trainers scored candidate detection dogs on 11 subtests evaluating detection performance and environmental soundness using behavioral component (BC) scores. Additionally, trainers rated each dog's overall suitability for operational detection work using a singular global score. To investigate the relative importance of different metrics in predicting final outcome…

Canine terminology in this article refers only to dog terminology, specialized terms describing the characteristics of various external parts of the domestic dog, as well as terms for structure, movement, and temperament. This terminology is not typically used for any of the wild species or subspecies of wild wolves, foxes, coyotes, dholes, jackals or the basal caninae. Dog terminology is often specific to each breed or type of dog. Breed standards use this terminology in the description of the ideal external appearance of each breed, although similar characteristics may be described with different terms in different breeds.
