Abstract

Abstract This book will give an introduction to the use (and perhaps misuse) of behaviour tests applied to animals. Through illustrative examples from a variety of species, the aim is to inspire the animal experimenter to think about what a given behavioural test can be used for and how the results can be interpreted. It is not meant as a dictionary or list of tests from which a researcher can choose, but as an inspiration on what to do (and not to do) when developing and executing tests of animal behaviour. It has 13 chapters divided into three parts: part 1 (setting the scene, chapters 1-3), part 2 (types of test, chapters 4-10), and part 3 (additional aspects, chapters 11-13).

问动物:动物行为测试简介

这本书将介绍使用(也许误用)的行为测试应用于动物。通过来自不同物种的说明性例子，目的是启发动物实验者思考给定的行为测试可以用于什么，以及如何解释结果。它并不是一本供研究人员选择的实验字典或列表，而是作为在开发和执行动物行为测试时该做什么(不该做什么)的灵感。全书共13章，分为3部分:第1部分(场景设置，第1-3章)、第2部分(考试类型，第4-10章)、第3部分(附加方面，第11-13章)。

期刊介绍： Animal Welfare is an international scientific and technical journal. It publishes the results of peer-reviewed scientific research, technical studies and reviews relating to the welfare of kept animals (eg on farms, in laboratories, zoos and as companions) and of those in the wild whose welfare is compromised by human activities. Papers on related ethical, social, and legal issues and interdisciplinary papers will also be considered for publication. Studies that are derivative or which replicate existing publications will only be considered if they are adequately justified. Papers will only be considered if they bring new knowledge (for research papers), new perspectives (for reviews) or develop new techniques. Papers must have the potential to improve animal welfare, and the way in which they achieve this, or are likely to do so, must be clearly specified in the section on Animal welfare implications.
