Researchers develop deep learning toolkit for high-speed measurement of body posture in animals. A new toolkit goes beyond existing machine learning methods by measuring body posture in animals with ...

Some of the foundational studies in the field were neither ethical by today’s standards nor replicable. But we can do better. Unfortunately for both the field and the dogs themselves, the truth is ...

Machine learning and deep neural networks can capture and analyze the “language” of animal behavior in ways that go beyond what’s humanly possible. The quest to understand what’s happening inside the ...

Studying Captive Animals outlines the methods that may be used to study the behaviour, welfare and ecology of animals living under the control of humans, including companion animals, feral populations ...

Functional responses measure the trophic interactions between species, taking into account the density and behavior of the interacting species. In predator-prey interactions, the prey preference of ...

Mother monkeys permanently separated from their newborns sometimes find comfort in plush toys; this recent finding from Harvard experiments has set off intense controversy among scientists and ...

A study on mice shows animal research may need to take into account the connection between genes, behavior and personality. We might refer to someone's personality as "mousey," but in truth, mice have ...

Dog training in Canada is an unregulated industry with no regulatory body. "Our hope is that programs like AnimalKind will draw attention to the evidence for humane dog training, and help move the dog ...
