Whether non-human animals can recognize human signals, including emotions, has both scientific and applied importance, is particularly relevant for domesticated species. This study presents the first evidence of horses' abilities to spontaneously discriminate between positive (happy) negative (angry) facial expressions in photographs. Our results showed that angry faces induced responses indicative a functional understanding stimuli: horses displayed left-gaze bias (a lateralization...
Although previous studies of horses have investigated their facial expressions in specific contexts, e.g. pain, until now there has been no methodology available that documents all the possible movements horse and provides a way to record potential configurations. This is essential for an objective description across range contexts reflect different emotional states. Facial Action Coding Systems (FACS) provide systematic identifying coding on basis underlying musculature muscle movement....
Background and Purpose— The purpose of this study was to determine whether motivational interviewing (MI), a patient-centered counseling technique, can benefit patients' mood mortality poststroke. Methods— This single-center, open, randomized, controlled trial. setting hospital with stroke unit. Four hundred eleven consecutive patients on the register were >18 years old, not known be moving out-of-area postdischarge, receiving psychiatric or clinical psychology intervention, without...
In humans, facial expressions are rich sources of social information and have an important role in regulating interactions. However, the extent to which this is true non-human animals, particularly non-primates, remains largely unknown. Therefore we tested whether domestic horses (Equus caballus) could discriminate between their conspecifics captured different contexts, viewing these elicited functionally relevant reactions. Horses were more likely approach photographic stimuli displaying...
Chimpanzees are highly territorial and have the potential to be extremely aggressive toward unfamiliar individuals. In wild, transfer between groups is almost exclusively completed by nulliparous females, yet in captivity there often a need introduce integrate range of individuals, including adult males. We describe process successfully integrating two chimpanzees, each containing 11 Budongo Trail facility at Royal Zoological Society Scotland's Edinburgh Zoo. use social network analysis...
The ability to discriminate between emotion in vocal signals is highly adaptive social species. It may also be for domestic species distinguish such humans. Here we present a playback study investigating whether horses spontaneously respond functionally relevant way towards positive and negative human nonverbal vocalisations. We presented with positively- negatively-valenced vocalisations (laughter growling, respectively) the absence of all other emotional cues. Horses were found adopt...
The international governing body for equestrian sports, the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), states that welfare of horse must be paramount and never subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. However, there is growing unease about issues from both within outside sport. aim this study was understand stakeholder perceptions current sport, determine whether scope change, explore attitudes towards assessment. Participants (n = 48) sport 38) animal research 10) attended a...
Abstract Population growth near protected areas threatens the capacity of such for biodiversity conservation. Protected may even encourage by providing economic benefits that attract migrants. Consequently, understanding relationships between human demographics and is important We studied a community-governed Wildlife Management Area bordering Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania, set up to benefit local people subsistence rural economy. Annual population this area 5%. used combination ecological...
Although the definitive source of left hemisphere's superiority for visual word recognition remains illusive, some argue that (LH) and right (RH) hemispheres engage different strategies during early perceptual processes involved in stimulus encoding. In particular, it is proposed LH treats a as unitary group whereas RH letters comprising series individual units. The present study investigated support this processing distinction by examining hemispheric temporal integration using Prinzmetal...
The role that working equids play in both rural and urban communities low middle-income countries is invaluable. They contribute to daily tasks such as carrying food, water people, support income generation, are of social cultural importance. Despite their importance, global standards equid welfare low. Many variables can impact the status animals under human care, but often specific factors explored isolation. Factors include, not limited an owner’s socioeconomic attitudes beliefs towards...
