The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals

Zoo animals as a population are a diverse array of species from all around the globe. When managed in captivity it is important that key aspects of natural ecology are factored into animal care as well as considerations relating to welfare life history and behavioural needs. The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals is the first book on captive animal behaviour and how this applies to welfare. The book enables all aspects of zoo husbandry and management (nutrition enclosure design handling and training enrichment population management) to be based on a sound knowledge of the species its evolutionary history and its natural history. Chapters from expert authors cover a vast range of taxa from primates and elephants to marine mammals and freshwater fish to reptiles birds and invertebrates. A final part looks to the future considering animal health and wellbeing the visitor experience and future visions for zoos and aquariums. For on-the-ground practitioners as well as students of zoo biology animal science and welfare this book provides an explanation of key areas of behavioural biology that are important to fulfilling the aims of the modern zoo (conservation education research and recreation). It explains how evidence from the wild can be implemented into captive care to support the wider aims of the zoo shedding light on the evidence-based approaches applied to zoo biology and animal management.

This second edition of Zoo and Aquarium History takes the reader on a journey through the transition of private collections to menageries to zoos then zoological gardens and more recently conservation centers and sanctuaries. Under the direction of Vernon N. Kisling an expert in zoo history an international team of authors has thoroughly updated the only comprehensive global history of animal collections menageries zoos and aquariums. The resulting book documents the continuum of efforts in maintaining wild animal collections from ancient civilizations through today explaining how modern zoos have developed their mission statements around the core aims of conservation education research and recreation. This new edition pulls together regional information including new chapters on zoological gardens of Canada Latin America China Israel the Middle East and New Zealand along with the cultural aspects of each region to provide a foundation upon which further research can be based.

Beyond the Workplace Zoo Humanising the Office

This book begins by outlining the common design mistakes with the modern open plan office and the industry focus on cost that has resulted in the ill-fated Workplace Zoo. The requirements of office-based workers according to psychological theory and research are then explained. Dr Oseland references historical studies in psychophysics to describe how to design environmental conditions (acoustics lighting temperature indoor air quality) that enhance performance by supporting basic physiological needs. More contemporary research in environmental psychology investigates how cognition affects our interpretation and response to physical stimuli depending on personality context attitude and other personal factors. This in turn informs individual requirements for the environmental conditions as well as group needs. Studies in evolutionary psychology and biophilia are also referenced. The latter part of the book turns to workplace solutions and focuses on how to plan design and manage offices to accommodate our innate human needs now and in the future. The importance of designing for inclusivity is also recognised including accommodating cultural gender and generational differences along with designing spaces for neurodiversity. Dr Oseland’s proposed workplace solution the Landscaped Office is a revived and revised version of Bürolandschaft with a contemporary twist. The impact of workplace trends such as agile working and hot-desking is also explored and found to complement the workplace solution resulting in the Agile Landscaped Office. This book is key reading for professionals and post-graduate students in business interior design architecture surveying facilities management building services engineering HR and organisational or environmental psychology. | Beyond the Workplace Zoo Humanising the Office

Real Animals on the Stage

Through a series of case studies this book explores the role of live animals on the stage from the early modern era to the present time. The contributors deal with visual and textual representations of performing animals; typologies of animals in the theatre; the hybridization of the drama with the circus the zoo and the cinema; as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the text to the stage. The focus lies on the changing historical fortunes of the four-footed actor and on exploring the ways that attitudes to the animal affect their dramatic representations – within aesthetic contexts but also in their dramatized scientific use. Exploring snapshots of acting animals from their earliest manifestation on the early modern stage the chapters contextualize and theorize particular uses of the animal actor and key into current debates on the cutting edge of animal performance studies. While seeking to consider how these theoretical perspectives were formed the collection delves into the multiple ways through which the animal presence problematizes the practice of theatricality. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in Theatre and Performance. | Real Animals on the Stage
