Many animals display a suite of increased vigilance and/or activity responses in relation to upcoming events, termed "anticipatory behavior." Anticipatory behavior toward positive events has been suggested as cross-species measure affective state it likely reflects the balance reward-sensitivity system: various studies suggest that poorer welfare situations show higher or excessive levels anticipation for events. Another tool evaluating animals' is cognitive bias testing, and although...
Bottlenose dolphins are the most common cetacean kept globally in zoos and aquaria (hereafter zoos), gregarious animals with a mostly opportunistic, generalist feeding strategy wild. In zoos, they have limited to no opportunities express natural foraging behaviours as receive their daily food ration of dead fish series training sessions. Enrichment provision has increased recent years, but items still predominantly simple floating nature, do not always target animals' problem-solving or...
Welfare science has built its foundations on veterinary medicine and thus measures of health. Since bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) tend to mask symptoms poor health, management in captivity would benefit from advanced understanding the links between health behavioural parameters, few studies exist topic. In this study, four representative were chosen: status (as qualified by veterinarians), percentage daily food eaten, occurrences new rake marks (proxy measure social activity),...
An intense public debate has fuelled governmental bans on marine mammals held in zoological institutions. The rests the assumption that survival institutions been and remains lower than wild, albeit scientific evidence support of this notion is equivocal. Here, we used statistical methods previously applied to assess historical improvements human lifespan data 8864 individuals four mammal species (harbour seal,
Ensuring high standards of animal welfare is not only an ethical duty for zoos and aquariums, but it also essential to achieve their conservation, education, research goals. While some species, assessment frameworks are already in place, little has been done marine animals under human care. Responding this demand, the committee European Association Aquatic Mammals (EAAM) set up a group experts on science, cetacean biology, zoo medicine across Europe. Their objective was develop comprehensive...
Behavioral patterns are established in response to predictable environmental cues. Animals under human care frequently experience predictable, human-controlled events each day, but very few studies have questioned exactly how behavioral affected by such activities. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) maintained for public display good models study since they multiple daily periods (e.g., shows, training medical training). Thus, we investigated the effect of session schedule on their...
Integrating welfare principles into conservation strategy is an emerging synthesis that encourages consideration of individual animals' quality life in research, policies and law. However, these have gained limited traction marine compared to terrestrial animal conservation. This manuscript investigates several factors may be contributing this disparity. In order gauge current understanding science by mammal researchers other stakeholders, a "Welfare the Wild" workshop was convened at 32nd...
Abstract In order to continue its business sustainably, any industry that uses animals must largely align their ethical position with of the general public: ‘the mainstream social ethic’. Although zoos are transitioning from entertainment venues conservation actors, many cetacean (whale and dolphin) facilities present in unnatural-looking enclosures entertainment-driven contexts. But what is ‘mainstream ethic’ regarding facilities, might it mean for industry’s future? The evidence first...
