个人简介
My particular focus is captive housing. Every year, humans keep 10s of billions of animals in captive conditions. Often these conditions meet their physiological needs, but are too small or monotonous to allow natural behaviour. Does this matter? Does it cause stress, and if so, how and why? My lab tackles these questions using a range of techniques, from using Phylogenetic Comparative Methods to identify ‘behavioural needs’ that act as species-level risk factors, through to investigating how different types of captive housing affect animals’ brains. I’m also interested in emotions and moods (affective states). Why did they evolve? How can we assess them in animals, without being anthropomorphic? Our work on this includes developing methods to assess animal boredom, investigating stereotypic behaviour (abnormal, repetitive behaviours common in captive animals) as markers of cumulative stress, and, last but definitely not least, thinking hard about the mystery of sentience.
