Garstang M, Kelley MC.
PMID: 28858209
Animals (Basel). 2017 Aug 31;7(9). doi: 10.3390/ani7090066.

We use recent research to provide an explanation of how animals might detect earthquakes before they occur. While the intrinsic value of such warnings is immense, we show that the complexity of the process may result in inconsistent responses...

Tech-Savvy Beef Cattle? How Heifers Respond to Moving Virtual Fence Lines.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Campbell DLM, Lea JM, Farrer WJ, Haynes SJ, Lee C.
PMID: 28926989
Animals (Basel). 2017 Sep 18;7(9). doi: 10.3390/ani7090072.

Global Positioning System (GPS)-based virtual fences offer the potential to improve the management of grazing animals. Prototype collar devices utilising patented virtual fencing algorithms were placed on six Angus heifers in a 6.15 hectare paddock. After a "no fence"...

Animals (Basel). 2016 Jun 08;6(6). doi: 10.3390/ani6060039.

Moles are considered pests in Britain, but this issue has been little studied. Lower welfare standards have been tolerated for moles than for most other managed wild mammal species, as use of both the controversial poison, strychnine, and unregulated...

Education to Action: Improving Public Perception of Bats.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Hoffmaster E, Vonk J, Mies R.
PMID: 26784239

Public perception of bats has historically been largely negative with bats often portrayed as carriers of disease. Bats are commonly associated with vampire lore and thus elicit largely fearful reactions despite the fact that they are a vital and...

Welfare Conditions of Donkeys in Europe: Initial Outcomes from On-Farm Assessment.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Erian I, Phillips CJ.
PMID: 28282911
Animals (Basel). 2017 Mar 09;7(3). doi: 10.3390/ani7030020.

Little is known about public knowledge of meat chicken production and how it influences attitudes to birds' welfare and consumer behaviour. We interviewed 506 members of the public in SE Queensland; Australia; to determine how knowledge of meat chicken...

Parallels between Postpartum Disorders in Humans and Preweaning Piglet Mortality in Sows.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Daigle C.
PMID: 29485618
Animals (Basel). 2018 Feb 06;8(2). doi: 10.3390/ani8020022.

Pregnancy and parturition in all mammals is accompanied with physical, psychological, social, and hormonal shifts that impact the mother physically and psychologically. Pre-weaning piglet mortality continues to be a major welfare and economic issue in U.S. swine production, running...

Attitudes of College Undergraduates Towards Coyotes (Canis latrans) in an Urban Landscape: Management and Public Outreach Implications.

Animals : an open access journal from MDPI

Modelling Niche Differentiation of Co-Existing, Elusive and Morphologically Similar Species: A Case Study of Four Macaque Species in Nakai-Nam Theun National Protected Area, Laos.

Animals (Basel). 2013 Jan 30;3(1):45-62. doi: 10.3390/ani3010045.

Species misidentification often occurs when dealing with co-existing and morphologically similar species such as macaques, making the study of their ecology challenging. To overcome this issue, we use reliable occurrence data from camera-trap images and transect survey data to...
