Animal behavior and animal welfare
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1991Summary The value of behavioral techniques in assessing animal welfare, and in particular assessing the psychological well being of animals, is reviewed. Using cats and horses as examples, 3 behavioral methods are presented: (1) comparison of behavior patterns and time budgets; (2) choice tests; and (3) operant conditioning. The behaviors of intact and

Animal Models of Ejaculatory Behavior
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2005Premature ejaculation is generally regarded the most frequent male ejaculatory complaint and has been considered a psychosexual disorder with psychogenic aetiology. The efficacy of various antidepressants, however, to delay ejaculation in men and to pharmacologically treat premature ejaculation suggests a strong neurobiological involvement. Most of our

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1991
Dogs and cats that are ill with febrile diseases usually are depressed and anorexic. When viewed from the standpoint of the wild ancestors, it is apparent that the behavior of sick animals is adaptive and not necessarily a reflection of debilitation. A wild animal that is acutely ill with an infectious disease often is at a life-or-death juncture, and ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1987
The behavior of the sick animal is not necessarily a result of physical debilitation; it can be viewed as part of a highly organized adaptive strategy that is at times critical to survival if the animal were living in the wild state. Domestic ruminants appear to have retained this behavioral mode when they are sick. This article brings together several

Continuous learning in a behavioral animation
1999To model both individual behaviors and their effects upon an eco-system appears as extremely difficult. However, our first results [5] prove that an adaptation strategy cannot be chosen without taking into account the evolution of the environment. Therefore, we create a virtual world simulating resources disappearing as soon as they are exploited too ...

Abstract This article focuses on comparative psychology, ethology, and cognitive ethology which explain animal behaviour. The same old questions raised by ancient Greek are discussed by scientists today. Morgan's pioneer work show that a quantitative approach to the physical features of animals and their behavioral products was not ...

Humans, Animals, and ‘Animal Behavior’
1983Attitudes to nonhuman animals and to ‘animal behavior’ in human animals are perplexingly entangled, and both utilitarian and Stoic theories of morality are vitiated by failure to understand animal behavior and motivation. The discovery that nonhuman, like human, animals are subject to ethical constraints can provide the basis for a morality that allows
