McCowan Animal Behavior Laboratory for Welfare & Conservation
Building on principles of evolution, animal behavior, and communication, the goal of this group is to apply current understanding of animal behavior to animal welfare, management and conservation issues, while continuing to expand on this knowledge base. Applied research includes the use of bioacoustics as a conservation and management tool, effects of anthropogenic noise on wildlife behavior and communication, and the use of social network analysis as a management tool for captive exotics, wildlife, laboratory animals and domesticated species. Basic research focuses on the relationship between social networks and health in nonhuman animals and humans.
