Applied Animal Behaviour Science publishes relevant information on the behaviour of domesticated and utilized animals.
Topics covered include:
• Behaviour of farm, zoo and laboratory animals in relation to animal management and welfare
• Behaviour of companion animals in relation to behavioural problems, for example, in relation to the training of dogs for different purposes, in relation to behavioural problems
• Studies of the behaviour of wild animals when these studies are relevant from an applied perspective, for example in relation to wildlife management, pest management or nature conservation
• Methodological studies within relevant fields
The principal subjects are farm, companion and laboratory animals, including, of course, poultry. The journal also deals with the following animal subjects:
• Those involved in any farming system, e.g. deer, rabbits and fur-bearing animals
• Those in ANY form of confinement, e.g. zoos, safari parks and other forms of display
• Feral animals, and any animal species which impinge on farming operations, e.g. as causes of loss or damage
• Species used for hunting, recreation etc. may also be considered as acceptable subjects in some instances
• Laboratory animals, if the material relates to their behavioural requirements
Applied Animal Behaviour Science has an Impact Factor of 1.823 in the Agriculture, Dairy and Animal Sciences Category.
Society Information
The Society was created in Edinburgh in 1966, as the Society for Veterinary Ethology (SVE). It rapidly expanded to cover all applied aspects of Ethology and other Behavioural Sciences, which are relevant to many human-animal interactions, such as farming, wildlife management, the keeping of companion and laboratory animals, and the control of pests. The Society also quickly became increasingly international: it now has a federal, international structure as well as regional representatives around the world. In 1991, on the 25th anniversary of the SVE, the society was re-named the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE).
Full-text articles are available from 1974 to the present.
Access to abstracts is complimentary. Access to full text is limited to print subscribers.
