A review of environmental enrichment for laying hens during rearing in relation to their behavioral and physiological development

Poultry Science, 2018
&NA; Globally, laying hen production systems are a focus of concern for animal welfare. Recently, the impacts of rearing environments have attracted attention, particularly with the trend toward more complex production systems including aviaries ...

Putting the “E” in SPIDER: Evolving Trends in the Evaluation of Environmental Enrichment Efficacy in Zoological Settings [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2015
In their seminal paper on environmental enrichment, Mellen and MacPhee (2001) proposed a set of broad goals for enrichment in zoological settings, as well as a framework for enrichment programs.

A century of warfare shoots holes in anti-Caulerpa campaign [PDF]

, 2007
Effort to have all varieties of the marine alga Caulerpa taxifolia listed as noxious weeds hinges on the argument that the alga's proliferation in the Mediterranean Sea is a cause and not a consequence of environmental degradation.

Influence of bedding on behavior and reproductive efficiency of pregnant sows

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2015
Ensuring animal welfare in the production chain has been an ever-present requirement in commercial relationships among producer and export markets. The use of bedding is indicated as a means of facilitating the comfort and welfare of animals, and affords

An enriched environment promotes synaptic plasticity and cognitive recovery after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice

Neural Regeneration Research, 2019
Cerebral ischemia activates an endogenous repair program that induces plastic changes in neurons. In this study, we investigated the effects of environmental enrichment on spatial learning and memory as well as on synaptic remodeling in a mouse model of ...

A three-dimensional habitat for C. elegans environmental enrichment.

PLoS ONE, 2021
As we learn more about the importance of gene-environment interactions and the effects of environmental enrichment, it becomes evident that minimalistic laboratory conditions can affect gene expression patterns and behaviors of model organisms.

Environmental enrichment intervention for Rett syndrome: an individually randomised stepped wedge trial

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2018
BackgroundRett syndrome is caused by a pathogenic mutation in the MECP2 gene with major consequences for motor and cognitive development. One of the effects of impaired MECP2 function is reduced production of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a ...

Environmental Effects on the Metal Enrichment of Low Mass Galaxies in Nearby Clusters

, 2012
In this paper we study the chemical history of low-mass star-forming (SF) galaxies in the local Universe clusters Coma, A1367, A779, and A634. The aim of this work is to search for the imprint of the environment on the chemical evolution of these ...
