Welcome to the 51st Congress of ISAE Understanding animal behaviour is the overall theme of this congress and the red thread through the chosen scientific topics. This reflects our wish for focus on what we consider the core of applied ethology. Understanding animal behaviour is essential in order to improve the interaction between animals and the environments in which they are kept and to improve animal welfare. We need to understand how the animals sense and perceive their world beyond the human perspective, which is based almost only on vision. Animal affective states are central for the concept of animal welfare, but to advance our assessment of these states we have to understand animals’ learning and cognitive abilities. The potential, but also pitfalls, of novel methods to study behavioural and physiological stress responses must be addressed continuously. Many of the animals kept by man are social, and we need to understand social behaviour in relation to their welfare, and especially because we rely on social behaviour when animals are group housed. In addition, for many domestic animal species we rely on maternal behaviour for neonatal development and survival. Animal behaviour is a key component in ensuring animal welfare and functionality in extensively and intensively kept animals and ‘applying ethology in the keeping of animals’, thus putting the science to work is by number the largest topic on this congress. We warmly welcome you to Aarhus and hope that you will enjoy the scientific program and discussions as well as the social events and networking. Please, help us to make this congress a memorable event. Margit Bak Jensen, Jens Malmkvist and Mette S.

Animal Behaviour, Animal Welfare and the Scientific Study of Affect David Fraser University of British Columbia KEYWORDS animal behaviour, animal welfare, affect, emotion, qualitative research ABSTRACT Many questions about animal welfare involve the affective states of animals (pain, fear, distress) and people look to science to clarify these issues as a basis for practices, policies and standards. However, the science of the mid twentieth century tended to be silent on matters of animal affect for both philosophical and methodological reasons. Philosophically, under the influence of Positivism many scientists considered that the affective states of animals fall outside the scope of science. Certain methodological features of the research also favoured explanations that did not involve affect. The features included the tendency to rely on abstract, quantitative measures rather than description, to use controlled experiments more than naturalistic observation, and to focus on measures of central tendency (means, medians) rather than individual differences.

    MAC1 Abstracts – Oral Presentations

    Oral Presentation Abstracts OP001 Rights, Interests and Moral Standing: a critical examination of dialogue between Regan and Frey. Rebekah Humphreys Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom This paper aims to assess R. G. Frey’s analysis of Leonard Nelson’s argument (that links interests to rights). Frey argues that claims that animals have rights or interests have not been established. Frey’s contentions that animals have not been shown to have rights nor interests will be discussed in turn, but the main focus will be on Frey’s claim that animals have not been shown to have interests. One way Frey analyses this latter claim is by considering H. J. McCloskey’s denial of the claim and Tom Regan’s criticism of this denial. While Frey’s position on animal interests does not depend on McCloskey’s views, he believes that a consideration of McCloskey’s views will reveal that Nelson’s argument (linking interests to rights) has not been established as sound. My discussion (of Frey’s scrutiny of Nelson’s argument) will centre only on the dialogue between Regan and Frey in respect of McCloskey’s argument. OP002 Can Special Relations Ground the Privileged Moral Status of Humans Over Animals? Robert Jones California State University, Chico, United States Much contemporary philosophical work regarding the moral considerability of nonhuman animals involves the search for some set of characteristics or properties that nonhuman animals possess sufficient for their robust membership in the sphere of things morally considerable. The most common strategy has been to identify some set of properties intrinsic to the animals themselves.

The discussion has incorporated important areas such as brain anatomy and function, physiological Received in revised form and behavioural responses, and the cognitive abilities that fish possess. Little attention has however, been 10 September 2013 directed towards what functional aspects emotions ought to have in fish. If fish have emotions – why? Accepted 11 September 2013 The elucidation of this question and an assessment of the scientific evidences of emotions in fish in an evolutionary and functional framework would represent a valuable contribution in the discussion on Keywords: whether fish are emotional creatures. Here parts of the vast amount of literature from both biology and Emotions Behaviour psychology relating to the scientific field of emotions, animal emotion, and the functional aspects that Cognition emotions fulfil in the lives of humans and animals are reviewed. Subsequently, by viewing fish behaviour, Psychology physiology and cognitive abilities in the light of this functional framework it is possible to infer what Fish functions emotions may serve in fish. This approach may contribute to the vital running discussion on Evolution the subject of emotions in fish. In fact, if it can be substantiated that emotions are likely to serve a function in fish similar to that of other higher vertebrate species, the notion that fish do have emotions will be strengthened.

    Dr. John Miller (University of Sheffield) Animals, Capital, Literature and the Victorians: Writing the Fur Trade The difference between what we think of as ‘animal’ and what we think of as ‘human’ is routinely conceptualised as a fullness on the side of the human against a poverty on the side of the animal. In response, animal studies, in its emergence over the last twenty years or so, has set about dismantling this crude logic and broadening the scope of humanities research to include the nonhuman. Although at this juncture of the twenty first century, animal studies has the status of an emerging field of study, many of its central concerns are significant ingredients of nineteenth-century thought. Evolutionary theory radically destabilised entrenched ideas of human–animal difference; animal advocacy flowered, through the work of the RSPCA, the vegetarian society and the humanitarian League amongst others; the connections of discourses of species to discourses of race, class and gender became increasingly clear, and increasingly subject to debate, as the century progressed. At the same time, the use of animal bodies in a developing commodity culture accelerated to a remarkable degree, marking the Victorian period, in particular, as an era of extraordinary violence. This paper explores one of the most disturbing examples of this objectification of animal life: the global fur trade. I am interested especially in the ways in which literary fiction both bolstered and contested the conceptions of value behind the fur trade’s commodifying processes. How, I ask, do literature and capital entwine in the imagining of animals as resources to be consumed?

  • Ingestion and Nutrient Utilization

    Ingestion and Nutrient Utilization

    INGESTION AND NUTRIENT UTILIZATION 9·1 VARIATIONS IN NUTRIENT INTAKE There is a continuous flow of nutrients through the metabolic pathways in an animal-range relationship. There is variation in both the ingestion rate and the turnover rate of different forages as the food is processed by the animal. A time lag also occurs in the conversion of forage to metabolically useful energy for activity and tissue synthesis. An analysis of the characteristics associated with ingestion and the subsequent use of food material provides an understanding of the chemical communication between the animal and its range at a fundamental life-support level. SEASONAL VARIATIONS. Wild ruminants exhibit seasonal differences in the rate of ingestion of different forages. The general pattern observed by many investi­ gators shows a marked drop in consumption that begins ~ n the fall and continues through the winter, with a reversal in the trend in the spring and summer. Males show a greater reduction than females. Silver (unpublished data) reports a 60% decline in intake from September through March for penned adult white-tailed deer on a pelleted diet of grains and alfalfa. Fowler, Newsom, and Short (1967) observed a decline in food consumption of white-tailed deer in Louisiana during the winter, accompanied by a 10% weight loss in bucks and a 3% weight loss in does. A decline in both feeding activity and cedar consumption was recorded for penned animals at the Cusino Wildlife Research Station in Upper Michigan during January and February (Ozoga and Verme 1970). 164 9·1 VAR IATIONS IN NUTRIENT INTAKE 165 Nordan, Cowan, and Wood (1968) have studied the intake of black-tailed deer through several annual cycles, and they observed a very obvious decline in feed intake that begins when male deer exhibit rutting behavior.
  • Fear and the Behaviour of Virtual Flocking Animals

    Fear and the Behaviour of Virtual Flocking Animals

    Fear and the behaviour of virtual flocking animals Carlos Delgado1 Mata, Ruth Aylett2 [email protected], [email protected] 1University of Bonaterra, Aguasclaientes, Mexico; 2Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, UK Abstract. The paper investigates the role of an affective system as part of an ethologically-inspired action-selection mechanism for virtual animals in a 3D interactive graphics environment. It discusses the integration of emotion with flocking and grazing behaviour and a mechanism for communicating emotion between animals; develops a metric for analyzing the collective behaviour of the animals and its complexity and shows that emotion reduces the complexity of behaviour and thus mediates between individual and collective behaviour. 1. Introduction Minsky [13] was one of the first to emphasise the importance of emotion for Artificial Intelligence. Since then, research in affective systems for embodied autonomous agents, robotic and graphical, has expanded. Approaches divide into low-level, neuro- physiologically inspired accounts, focusing on sub-symbolic behavioural architectures [5,21], and high-level cognitive science-inspired accounts, focusing on symbolic appraisal-driven architectures [9, 16]. This work concentrates on a low-level account, applied to flocking mammals (sheep, deer), and demonstrates the role of fear as a social regulator between individual and group behaviour. We take the ‘primitive emotions’ namely: anger, fear, disgust, surprise, happiness and sadness, [8] as a plausible set for other mammals than humans, and examine how they can be integrated into an ethologically-based action-selection mechanism. For affective systems to have developed and remain under the pressure of evolutionary selection, they must play a functional role within the overall architecture of animals.

Drawing from critical scholarship in dance literature, zoo studies, human-animal studies, posthuman philosophy, and experiential/somatic field studies, this work utilizes choreographic engagement, with the topography and inhabitants of the Toronto Zoo and the Berlin Zoologischer Garten, to investigate the potential for kinaesthetic exchanges between human and nonhuman subjects. In tracing these exchanges, BETWEEN SPECIES documents the creation of the zoomorphic choreographic works ARK and ARCHE and creatively mediates on: more-than-human choreography; the curatorial paradigms, embodied practices, and forms of zoological gardens; the staging of human and nonhuman bodies and bodies of knowledge; the resonances and dissonances between ethological research and dance ethnography; and, the anthropocentric constitution of the field of dance studies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the glowing memory of my nana, Patricia Maltby, who, through her relentless love and fervent belief in my potential, elegantly willed me into another phase of life, while she passed, with dignity and calm, into another realm of existence. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my phenomenal supervisor Dr. Barbara Sellers-Young and my amazing committee members Dr.
