    Extractions: I am interested in social learning and its consequences for the behaviour and evolution of animals. Currently, I am researching how guppies and humans balance social and personal information in environments of varying uncertainty. This work is being conducted with Simon Reader at Utrecht University and Ulf Toelch at the Humboldt-Universität in Berlin. Web decorations are curious silk structures included in their webs by many species of orb-web spider. May functions have been proposed for these structures including thermoregulation, web stabilisation, prey capture and defense against predators. Most recent studies have suggested that decorations perform a visual function by either attracting prey or protecting the spider. This work is ongoing in the the Behavioural Ecology lab at Macquarie University. Read more about web decorations

    Extractions: Ethology is the study of animal behavior. Scientists, called ethologists, spend their lives studying and trying to understand how dogs communicate with each other. When ethologists seek to understand a behavior, they will ask questions about the behavior to determine its cause. The questions might include: Seeking the answers to such questions allows ethologists to gather scientific knowledge about the behavior. Scientific knowledge is information that is gathered using very specific rules. The information gathered is that which can be observed objectively, such as the behavior itself and the environment in which it occurred. Observations are made, then verified by repeating the conditions and observing again. Observations that can be predictably repeated are called facts. Observation of canine communication signals and the interpretation of them are two different skills. If you aren't careful, you can make mistakes in either your observations or interpretations of behavior.

49. FEATHER PICKING AND SELF-MUTILATION IN COMPANION BIRDS
    Defines this destructive behavior, causes, contributing factors, and recommendations.  
    http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/selfmutilbir
    
    Extractions: Tara Sager Introduction Feather picking and the associated self-mutilation behavior that occur in psittacines can be a distressing and frustrating challenge for many bird owners. This obsessive-compulsive disorder is seen in a number of species including parrots (such as Amazons or African Greys), Cockatoos, Macaws and Cockatiels. What is feather picking? As opposed to preening, the behavior of birds in which they groom their feathers and skin free from dirt or foreign particles and correct any feather distortions, feather picking is excessive self grooming, that includes picking at, plucking out, or chewing on feathers. In a severe case, the bird can be naked form the head down. Indicators of feather picking include the presence of healthy head feathers, feather loss, and/or mutilated feathers in body areas accessible to a bird’s beak (including the wing skin fold, inner thighs, and breast). Even more worrisome than feather picking is the associated self-mutilation, which can occur. Essentially, self-mutilation involves a bird chewing on its own flesh, often in the breast area.

    Also known as Acral Lick Dermatitis or Lick Granuloma. Contributing factors are explained and solutions suggested.  
    http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/lickderm.htm
    
    Extractions: Acral lick dermatitis (ALD), also known as lick granuloma or canine neurodermatitis is a stereotypic behaviour resulting in self-mutilation. A stereotypic behaviour refers to a pattern of movements or behaviours which are repeated without variation and seem to occur for no apparent purpose. Such things as pacing or excessive grooming are common types of stereotypies seen in domestic or captive animals. In ALD the stereotypy is self-licking, chewing or scratching, most commonly on the distal portions of the limbs. The repetitive licking creates areas of hair loss and the production of lesions which may range in size from several centimetres to the entire surface of the limb. The continuous self licking and chewing prevents the lesions from healing and may cause discomfort, pain and, in severe cases, crippling. Ensure your dog gets sufficient exercise, not just in a yard, but also leashed walks where you will be interacting with your dog. Take your dog to obedience classes or participate in dog sports such as agility or flyball. These will challenge your dogs as well as provide exercise and time to interact with other dogs.

57. Separation Anxiety
    This article includes a short video ( 2.7 Mb ) showing the typical stages and suggesting solutions.

    Extractions: Separation Anxiety in Dogs Linked to this article is a short video clip which shows a dog displaying several behaviours typical of separation anxiety. The video has 3 distinct segments; 1) dog showing destructive behaviour within seconds of human departure 2) the same dog 20 minutes later howling and 3) the same dog showing excessive greeting behaviour upon return of the owners. Click to load separation anxiety video for viewing. Separation anxiety in dogs is the fear or dislike of isolation which often results in undesirable behaviour. Separation anxiety is one of the most common causes of canine behavioural problems (Polin 1992; Voith and Borchelt 1985). As social animals, it is normal for puppies to form attachments to their mother and littermates. Once a puppy is separated from its family group, it becomes attached to its owner. Attachment implies a trusting relationship and is the foundation of a good, healthy bond between owner and pet (Polin 1992). However, when a dog becomes overly dependent on its owner, problem behaviours may result. There are many problem behaviours associated with separation anxiety including: defecation and urination in inappropriate locations, destructive behaviour, excessive barking and whining, depression, and hyperactivity. These behaviours may also be the symptoms of other problems. However, if undesired behaviours are clearly related to the absence of the owner, occur shortly after departure and a prolonged greeting response occurs upon the owner's return, separation anxiety is the probable cause (McElroy 1989). If a problem behaviour has persisted for an extended period, a visit to the vet will ensure that there are no underlying medical problems.
