Communication01:03

Communication

8.9K
Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these. Communication is a critical behavioral adaptation that promotes survival, growth, and reproduction.

What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.4K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Optimal Foraging00:48

Optimal Foraging

14.2K
How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Migration00:53

Migration

9.1K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Tonicity in Animals00:59

Tonicity in Animals

129.3K
The tonicity of a solution determines if a cell gains or loses water in that solution. The tonicity depends on the permeability of the cell membrane for different solutes and the concentration of nonpenetrating solutes in the solution within and outside of the cell. If a semipermeable membrane hinders the passage of some solutes but allows water to follow its concentration gradient, water moves from the side with low osmolarity (i.e., less solute) to the side with higher osmolarity (i.e.,...

Tonicity in Animals

9.4K
Tonicity describes the amount of solute in a solution. The measure of the tonicity of a solution, or the total amount of solutes dissolved in a specific amount of solution, is called its osmolarity. Three terms—hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic—are used to relate the osmolarity of a cell to the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid that contains the cells. In a hypotonic solution, such as tap water, the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration of solutes than the fluid inside...

Summary

Animal resilience research needs a broader scope beyond just brain mechanisms. Incorporating animal welfare studies can reveal how animals appraise their environment, enhancing our understanding of resilience.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral biology
  • Animal behavior
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Current animal resilience studies often focus narrowly on neuronal mechanisms.
  • A comprehensive understanding requires integrating multiple biological and evolutionary perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for an expanded research framework for animal resilience.
  • To propose the integration of animal welfare research paradigms into resilience studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on animal resilience.
  • Conceptual framework development integrating ontogeny, function, and evolution.
  • Proposal for incorporating animal appraisal styles from welfare research.

Main Results:

  • Resilience in animals is a multifaceted trait influenced by developmental, functional, and evolutionary factors.
  • Animal welfare research offers novel methods to assess subjective experiences like appraisal styles.

Conclusions:

  • Future animal resilience research should adopt a holistic approach, encompassing more than just neural underpinnings.
  • Assessing animal appraisal styles through welfare research can provide deeper insights into their resilience.
