A comparative test of inequity aversion in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and dingoes (Canis dingo).

Despite much recent empirical work on inequity aversion in nonhuman species, many questions remain about its distribution across taxa and the factors that shape its evolution and expression. Past work suggests that domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and wolves (Canis lupus) are averse to inequitable r...

Past work suggests that domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and wolves (Canis lupus) are averse to inequitable resource distributions in contexts that call upon some degree of training such as 'give paw' and 'buzzer press' tasks.

Measures of interest were (1) subjects' refusal to approach when getting no food; (2) approach latency; and (3) social referencing.
