A COMPARISON OF FACIAL COLOR PATTERN AND GAZING BEHAVIOR IN CANID SPECIES SUGGESTS GAZE COMMUNICATION IN GRAY WOLVES (CANIS LUPUS).

A comparison of facial color pattern and gazing behavior in canid species suggests gaze communication in gray wolves (Canis lupus).

As facial color pattern around the eyes has been suggested to serve various adaptive functions related to the gaze signal, we compared the patterns among 25 canid species, focusing on the gaze signal, to estimate the function of facial color pattern in these species.The facial color patterns of the studied species could be categorized into the foll
