Dichotomy in the Emotional Approaches of Caretakers of Free-Roaming Cats in Urban Feeding Groups
Although the occurrence of cat-caretaking of free-roaming cats is widespread, particularly so in countries with a climate suitable for cats to reproduce year-round, our knowledge of this relationship is still incomplete. People who engage in daily activities of feeding and caring for groups of free-roaming cats (cat caretakers) are known to be devoted to their cats and invest considerable resources in their care, including neutering and veterinar…
The Impact of Anthropogenic Factors on the Behavior, Reproduction, Management and Welfare of Urban, Free-Roaming Cat Populations
Free-roaming domestic cats constitute an integral part of many urban ecosystems worldwide; their presence results from undisturbed natural reproduction, abandonment by pet owners, and abundant food resources. These cats present controversial and emotional issues regarding management of their high densities, hygiene and epidemiologic risks to humans, and predation of wildlife. Improved urban cat management requires greater knowledge of the anthrop…
Effects of positive reinforcement training techniques on the psychological welfare of zoo‐housed chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
Captive environments encompass various factors that can elevate stress levels and jeopardize the wellbeing of the captive animals. The use of positive reinforcement training (PRT) techniques enables researchers and caretakers to reduce tension directly associated with potentially stressful procedures and states. The current study tested the general effect of PRT on the wellbeing of zoo‐housed chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) by measuring behaviors…
Noninvolvement of testosterone in aggressive defense behavior in the male blind mole ratSpalax ehrenbergi
Blind mole rats (Spalax ehrenbergi) are solitary and aggressive subterranean rodents. Aggressive defense behavior in the mole rat functions to deter neighboring competitors from territory, food, and mates and includes seismic and odor signals. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the aggressive defense behavior displayed by male mole rats is testosterone dependent. Five behavioral variables were taken as being representative of s…
Ontogeny of agonistic behaviour in dispersing blind mole rats ( spalax ehrenbergi )
The blind mole rat (Spalax ehrenbergi) is a solitary and aggressive fossorial rodent that inhabits its own individual tunnel system. Mole rats breed mainly in the winter, giving birth to a litter of three to four young on average [Nevo (1961) Mammalia 25:127–143]. Intraspecific interactions between adults occur mostly during the winter, which is the rainy season in Israel; after parturition, interactions occur between the mother and her offspring…
Grooming expresses harderian gland materials in the blind mole rat
The blind mole rat (Spalax ehrenbergi) is a highly aggressive and solitary rodent that shows the most striking physiological and behavioral adaptations to underground life. The eyes are not detectable externally; they are atrophied and covered by a thick layer of skin. A considerable part of the orbit is occupied by a very large Harderian gland. The current study demonstrates that during autogrooming the mole rat expresses Harderian gland materia…
