Beyond Cortisol! Physiological Indicators of Welfare for Dogs: Deficits, Misunderstandings and Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
This paper aims to initiate new conversations about the use of physiological indicators when assessing the welfare of dogs. There are significant concerns about construct validity - whether the measures used accurately reflect welfare. The goal is to provide recommendations for future inquiry and encourage debate.

AniMer: Animal Pose and Shape Estimation Using Family Aware Transformer [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Quantitative analysis of animal behavior and biomechanics requires accurate animal pose and shape estimation across species, and is important for animal welfare and biological research. However, the small network capacity of previous methods and limited multi-species dataset leave this problem underexplored.
