PetFace: A Large-Scale Dataset and Benchmark for Animal Identification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Automated animal face identification plays a crucial role in the monitoring of behaviors, conducting of surveys, and finding of lost animals. Despite the advancements in human face identification, the lack of datasets and benchmarks in the animal domain has impeded progress.

Effect of A New Housing System on Skin Lesions, Performance and Soiling of Fattening Rabbits: A German Case Study

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a new housing system for fattening rabbits. Data were collected on a farm with rabbits housed either under new conditions (NC) or established (conventional) conditions (CC).

Determining interaction rules in animal swarms

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper we introduce a method for determining local interaction rules in animal swarms. The method is based on the assumption that the behavior of individuals in a swarm can be treated as a set of mechanistic rules.

Animal Behavior Analysis Methods Using Deep Learning: A Survey [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Animal behavior serves as a reliable indicator of the adaptation of organisms to their environment and their overall well-being. Through rigorous observation of animal actions and interactions, researchers and observers can glean valuable insights into diverse facets of their lives, encompassing health, social dynamics, ecological relationships, and ...

Stress relaxation in F-actin solutions by severing

open access: yes, 2019
Networks of filamentous actin (F-actin) are important for the mechanics of most animal cells. These cytoskeletal networks are highly dynamic, with a variety of actin-associated proteins that control cross-linking, polymerization and force generation in ...

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.

Models of Animal Behavior as Active Particle Systems with Nonreciprocal Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes
Active particle systems of interacting self-propelled particles offer a versatile framework for modeling complex systems. When employed to describe aspects of animal behavior, the complexity of animal movement and decision-making often requires the use of unique types of effective interactions between the particles -- notably nonreciprocal effective ...

Abuse and Neglect of Animals and People, An Update [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Veterinarians have noticed for quite some time that individuals who mistreat their animals may not stop there, carrying over their behavior to spouses, parents and others.

OpenAnimalTracks: A Dataset for Animal Track Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Animal habitat surveys play a critical role in preserving the biodiversity of the land. One of the effective ways to gain insights into animal habitats involves identifying animal footprints, which offers valuable information about species distribution, abundance, and behavior.

The implications of embodiment for behavior and cognition: animal and robotic case studies

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, we will argue that if we want to understand the function of the brain (or the control in the case of robots), we must understand how the brain is embedded into the physical system, and how the organism interacts with the real world.
