Lina Roth is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University, specializing in sensory biology with a focus on animal welfare and behavior. Her early research concentrated on color vision in reptiles and the impact of domestication on vision in various animals including lizards, horses, chickens, and dogs, with notable publications in the field. Currently, her work examines the intricate relationships between dogs and their owners, particularly how these relationships influence wellbeing and health. She has shown that dogs can mirror their owners' long-term stress levels, especially evident in herding breeds. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened interest in how dogs adapt to their owners' changes. Additionally, Roth studies the behavior and training of horses in relation to their owners, noting the distinct differences between horse-human and dog-human relationships. Her research continues to explore how these dynamics affect animal welfare and behavioral interactions, underscoring the importance of recognizing each animal species' unique perspective in their relationships with humans.
