Abstract: Pair bonding (i.e. individuals showing a preference for a specific opposite-sex individual) has been demonstrated in several socially monogamous species. However, social bonds also occur in nonmonogamous species, but have received less attention. Currently, we… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract When given the opportunity, many captive animal species make use of a running wheel. Wheel running is often used as an environmental enrichment to increase general locomotor activities. Yet, it is still debated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2019.01.009
Abstract: Abstract Stereotypical behaviours (SBs) are abnormal, repetitive behaviours often observed in captivity. SBs are linked to impoverished captive conditions, and stereotypic individuals show a particular set of behaviours (e.g. bolder personality, greater activity) indicating proactive… read more here.

Abstract: Social learning is widespread across species; however, we still know little about the impact of individual differences in behaviour on social transmission. We aimed to investigate factors influencing social learning in free-living Rhabdomys pumilio, a… read more here.
