Since man interacts with other animals at many different levels,
using them as sources of food, raw materials, transport and
companionship as well as competing with them for resources, how we
manage their behaviour is of great importance. This book brings
together a collection of reviews that deal with how an
understanding of the methods, theories and facts provided by
ethology (the scientific study of animal behaviour) can help us to
manage the behaviour of animals. The book looks at this subject in
such areas as improving productivity in agriculture and
aquaculture, improving the welfare of captive animals, dealing with
difficult pets, promoting the conservation of endangered species
and finding humane solutions to deal with animal pests. The
chapters discuss the theoretical background on which such work is
based and provide a broad range of examples. This book illustrates
that the modern science of ethology has an important contribution
to make in solving the problems we face in managing animal
behaviour. This book should be of interest to students on courses
in animal behaviour and research workers in zoology, agriculture,
veterinary science and psychology.
