Stereotypic Behavior in Fattening Bulls

Animals, 2019
The occurrence of stereotypies in captive animals may indicate restrictions in animal welfare. In cattle, common stereotypies are tongue playing, manipulation of objects, or conspecifics.

Comparative spatial cognition in wild Tanganyikan cichlids: navigation performance varies with home range and shelter availability

Animal Cognition
Spatial cognition varies widely even among closely related species, and identifying the ecological drivers of this variation remains challenging because species typically differ in multiple aspects of their ecology simultaneously.

callsync: An R package for alignment and analysis of multi‐microphone animal recordings

Ecology and Evolution
To better understand how vocalisations are used during interactions of multiple individuals, studies are increasingly deploying on‐board devices with a microphone on each animal.

Food Pellet Dispensers -- Model KB-102 Feeders

Device used to dispense food as a form of reinforcement reward in animal training, where animals receive food when they perform a desired behavior. Soon after the trainers at Animal Behavior Enterprises (ABE) began training animals, they realized that ...

Fairly flexible: brown-tufted capuchins and a squirrel monkey adjust their motor responses in a foraging task [PDF]

PeerJ
Prior research on non-human primates has produced contradictory results regarding behavioral flexibility and habit formation. Most observational studies of wild primates show flexibility in foraging behavior, whereas experimental data suggest captive ...

Biologic response of animals to husbandry stress with implications for biomedical models [PDF]

, 2010
Peer-reviewedThe quality of life of animals is defined by a range of parameters including health, physiology, and behavior. Stress is defined as any damaging strain, force, or agent which stimulates a physiologic defense reaction and is capable under ...

animal2vec and MeerKAT: A self‐supervised transformer for rare‐event raw audio input and a large‐scale reference dataset for bioacoustics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Bioacoustic research, vital for promoting conservation and understanding animal behaviour and ecology, faces a monumental challenge: analysing vast datasets where animal vocalizations are rare.
