Welcome Research in applied ethology has a long tradition at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, as have the links to this society. This is the third time that the international congress has been organised by our department; the previous years were 1978 and 1988. The name of the society has changed, as has the name of our department, but the tradition continues from one ‘generation’ of scientists to another. It is a privilege and honour to host the congress again this year. The conference is organised around the main theme of coping in large groups. We feel this is an important topic, not only for researchers working with farm animals, but also for those working with laboratory, companion, sport and other categories of animals. It is also a topic of basic biological interest. The Wood-Gush Memorial Lecture will be presented by Charlotte Hemelrijk, professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands who works with self-organisation of social systems. There are six key note lectures and fourteen sessions, representing not only the overall theme of the meeting, but the diversity of interests within ISAE as a whole. In addition, there are five workshops, posters on display for the whole conference and the opportunity to join technical tours to historical sites and applied animal research facilities in the neighbourhood of Uppsala or Stockholm. The people who have helped organise this conference are acknowledged in these proceedings, but we would also like to acknowledge the many others who have contributed - you know who you are. On behalf of the local organising committee, we would like to welcome all participants and wish you an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating 44th Congress of the ISAE.

    In Memoriam: William D. Timberlake (1942–2019)

    Conductual In Memoriam: William D. Timberlake (1942–2019) In Memoriam: William D. Timberlake (1942–2019)1, Robert Ian Bowers2 Published under the CC BY licence Bill Timberlake was spry at seventy. Although he held the presence of someone who had lived for centuries, he stood straight and strong. Yet, just a few years later, weakened by a progressive, terminal disease, Timberlake took a bad fall, from which he would never recover. William D. Timberlake (19 November 1942-17 October 2019) earned his PhD in experimental psychology at University of Michigan in 1969 under the supervision of David Birch. He joined the Indiana University psychology faculty the same year, where he remained for the rest of his career (see Arnet, 2019, for a biography). Timberlake will be remembered for many achievements. He conducted important work in a wide variety of areas related to the behaviour of animals, including behavioural economics, contrast effects, spatial cognition, adjunctive behaviour, time horizons, and circadian entrainment of feeding and drug use. By 1983, he had published two influential theories, and a wealth of data supporting them. The earlier of these theories, his disequilibrium approach to reinforcement, has been known by various names, at various stages of development: behaviour regulation theory, response deprivation theory, molar equilibrium theory, and disequilibrium theory (Timberlake & Allison, 1974; Timberlake & Wozny, 1979; Timberlake, 1980; Hanson & Timberlake, 1983; for an updated introduction, see Jacobs, et al., 2019). The disequilibrium approach involves a shift in conceptualisation of reinforcement: reinforcement is attributed not to environmental stimuli, but to constrained behaviours. Given the centrality of reinforcement in mainstream views--a notion not updated since Thorndike (1911) decreed his Law of Effect--this meant a shift in bedrock.

    Ethology 109, 847—859 (2003) Ó 2003 Blackwell Verlag, Berlin ISSN 0179–1613 Primate Rituals: The Function of Greetings between Male Guinea Baboons Jessica C. Whitham & Dario Maestripieri Animal Behavior Research Group, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA Abstract The bond-testing hypothesis suggests that social animals can obtain honest information about the quality of their dyadic relationships by exchanging costly, high-risksignals (Zahavi & Zahavi 1997). We evaluated this hypothesis by investigating whether adult male baboons use intense greeting interactions to test the quality and strength of their social bonds. Intense greetings involve intimate and risky behaviors such as embracing and the diddling of the penis and/or scrotum. Data were collected on a colony of 40 Guinea baboons (Papio papio)at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. Fifteen adult male baboons were focally observed for 30-min sessions over a 6-mo period, resulting in 195 h of observation. We assessed the quality of male–male relationships using measures of affiliation, aggression, and social tolerance. As predicted by the bond-testing hypothesis, dyads with strong social bonds exchanged a higher frequency of intense greetings than did pairs with poor relationships. We found no support for the competing hypotheses, that suggest that greetings have an aggressive or submissive function or are used as a form of post-conflict reconciliatory behavior. Neither dominance relationships nor contextual variables were predictive of intense greeting patterns. We suggest that by imposing on his partner, a male baboon is able to obtain reliable information about this individual’s current willingness to cooperate and invest in the relationship.

Blumstein a,b,c,* aDepartment of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia bDepartment of Psychology, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia cThe Cooperative Research Centre for the Conservation and Management of Marsupials, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia Received 10 June 1999; received in revised form 19 August 1999; accepted 16 October 1999 Abstract There has been a recent interest in integrating an understanding of behaviour into conservation biology. Unfortunately, there has been no paradigm for such a process. Without a clear framework for integration, conservation biologists may have diculties recognising how behavioural knowledge can help solve real-world conservation problems. Eective population size (Ne) is a key demographic parameter used to understand population viability. A variety of behaviours and behavioural traits impact Ne, yet their importance for conservation is under-appreciated. We suggest that identifying behavioural traits that aect Ne provides a paradigm for integrating behavioural biology into conservation biology. Behaviour can aect Ne through at least three dierent mechanisms: reducing N Ð the population size; reducing r Ð the population growth rate, and/or by increasing reproductive skew. We discuss how nine common behavioural traits can reduce Ne, and suggest how an understanding of these traits may inform management of both free-living and captive animals. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

    COMMUNICATION in TERRESTRIAL MAMMALS Karen Mccomb & David

    COMMUNICATION IN TERRESTRIAL MAMMALS Karen McComb & David Reby Department of Psychology, University of Sussex, BRIGHTON BN1 9QH, UK. Introduction Research on vocal communication in terrestrial mammals had until recently lagged behind work on birds and anurans (frogs and toads), perhaps because of the greater difficulty of recording, analyzing and playing back acoustically more complex signals to animals who are usually free-ranging and difficult to confine for experimental purposes. One exception is the non-human primates, which have received intense scrutiny because of their shared ancestry with humans. Although primates can be classified as terrestrial mammals, we will not attempt to comprehensively cover research on this group here (much of this is presented in other chapters of the encyclopedia) but rather focus on the other terrestrial mammals, where advances in research techniques (enabled by the revolution in digital technology) are now beginning to yield interesting results. Research on these mammals integrates study at several levels of investigation, including the functional anatomy of the vocal apparatus, the acoustic structure of the calls, the context of their emission and their relationship and co-evolution with the social structures and reproductive strategies of the animals that give them. As a consequence, research in this area now uses a range of methods and tools, including anatomical investigation, sound analyses and re-synthesis and playback experiments. While mammalian vocal communication is qualitatively different from human speech, humans are also mammals and our mechanisms of vocal production are largely shared. This means that a common framework for understanding the structure and evolution of mammal vocalizations already exists, the source- filter theory of voice production.

    Effects of Predictability on the Welfare of Captive Animals§ Lois Bassett, Hannah M

    Applied Animal Behaviour Science 102 (2007) 223–245 www.elsevier.com/locate/applanim Effects of predictability on the welfare of captive animals§ Lois Bassett, Hannah M. Buchanan-Smith * Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA, Scotland, United Kingdom Available online 30 June 2006 Abstract Variations in the predictability of a stressor have pronounced effects on the behavioural and physio- logical effects of stress in rats. It is reasonable to expect that variations in the predictability of husbandry routines thought to be aversive to animals might have similar effects on stress indices. Similarly, variations in the predictability of positive events, of which feeding is an obvious example, may affect welfare. This review examines the behavioural and physiological effects of the predictability of aversive and appetitive stimuli, and the application of experimental findings to animal husbandry in practice. It is argued here that two distinct but overlapping types of predictability exist. ‘Temporal’ predictability describes whether an event occurs at fixed or variable intervals, whereas ‘signalled’ predictability relates to the reliability of a signal preceding the event. This review examines the effects of each of these types of predictability in relation to positively and negatively perceived events, and examines the link between predictability and control. Recommendations are made for relatively simple and inexpensive modifications to husbandry routines that may be easy to incorporate into the schedules of busy staff yet could have a profound impact on the welfare of animals in their care. # 2006 Elsevier B.V.
