Applied Ethology
This web
page is dedicated to the field of applied animal behaviour, which deals with the
behaviour of domestic animals or other animals kept in captivity. The intention
with this site is to bring together a diverse set of resources students and
scientists may find useful and which may also be of interest to anyone wanting
to learn a bit more about animal behaviour.
