UFAW Spring Appeal — Vacation Scholarships The 2005 Spring Appeal is to support activities associated with the UFAW vacation scholarships. Since their inception 21 years ago, the scholarships have proved to be a very effective way of encouraging interest in the scientific approach to animal welfare among students at UK universities and colleges. To date, the studies of over 200 students have been supported. The scholarships have also proved to be the starting point for many into further study and professional involvement in the field. Your support will help to ensure that the scholarships continue to play an important role in furthering our knowledge of animals and how to care for them. Thank you.

  • The Existence of Species Rests on a Metastable Equilibrium Between Inbreeding and Outbreeding
    The existence of species rests on a metastable equilibrium between inbreeding and outbreeding. An essay on the close relationship between speciation, inbreeding and recessive mutations. Etienne Joly Toulouse, December 2011 (V5) Address: 1) CNRS; IPBS (Institut de Pharmacologie et de Biologie Structurale); 205 route de Narbonne, F-31077 Toulouse, France 2) Université de Toulouse; UPS; IPBS; F-31077 Toulouse, France Tel: 33-561 17 58 70 Email: [email protected], Abstract: Background: Speciation corresponds to the progressive establishment of reproductive barriers between groups of individuals derived from an ancestral stock. Since Darwin did not believe that reproductive barriers could be selected for, he proposed that most events of speciation would occur through a process of separation and divergence, and this point of view is still shared by most evolutionary biologists today. Results: I do, however, contend that, if so much speciation occurs, the most likely explanation is that there must be conditions where reproductive barriers can be directly selected for. In other words, situations where it is advantageous for individuals to reproduce preferentially within a small group and reduce their breeding with the rest of the ancestral population. This leads me to propose a model whereby new species arise not by populations splitting into separate branches, but by small inbreeding groups “budding” from an ancestral stock. This would be driven by several advantages of inbreeding, and mainly by advantageous recessive phenotypes, which could only be retained in the context of inbreeding. Reproductive barriers would thus not arise as secondary consequences of divergent evolution in populations isolated from one another, but under the direct selective pressure of ancestral stocks.

Concepts 12 have been refined, methodologies for assessment developed and links made to other areas 13 of science. Changes in the subject and in its teaching are required. Since 1986, a series 14 of senior academic teaching posts in the subject have been created, especially in the last 15 ten years. Veterinary and animal science students should receive a specific course on 16 animal welfare, in addition to mention of the subject in other courses. In the future, more 17 allusion to developments in understanding of welfare in relation to disease and brain 18 measures of welfare are likely. The central role of animal welfare in veterinary and 19 animal science teaching will become more firmly established. 20 21 Animal welfare prior to 1986 22 23 Animal welfare arose as a scientific discipline in the 1980’s and has developed rapidly 24 since that time.

He is the president of the Japanese Society for Animal Pschology and associate editor of Animal Cognition. Dr. Watanabe has published a lot of literatures in the field of comparative cognitive science. He has studied the diversity of cognition in animals with various animal subjects from fish to apes. One of his worldwide well-known researches is that crows can distinguish between the paintings of vanGogh and Chagall, and between the paintings of Picasso and those of Monet (Pigeon’s Discrimination of Paintings by Monet and Picassco. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, vol. 63,1995, pp. 165-174.). Even though the paintings are abstracted with mosaic, pigeons are able to perform the task. This study was awarded with the Ig Novel Prize: psychology, in 1995. He is also interested in animal welfare, and has related papers published in the field. (By Dr. Yoshikazu Ueno) Page 31 Animal cognition and animal welfare Shigeru Watanabe Department of Psychology, Keio University *Correspondence: 1) What do animals want? Animals appear to behave to avoid unpleasant state and to maintain a pleasant state. Spencer claimed that pleasant state is adaptive in an evolutionary sense, thus it is adaptive for an animal to alter its behavior to maximize a pleasant state. This is a speculative theory of pleasure based on the correlation between pleasure and adaptation.
