Welcome to the education pages of ISAE.
Are you a scientist looking for help and contact with others scientists in the field?
If you are a scientist working in the field of applied ethology, in a country in which the field is not that established, and wish to get in contact with other applied animal behaviour scientists, please contact either Your nearest regional secretary, or .
You might also find some of the behavioural software and equipment usefull:
- Behavioural Phenotyping -- software for your behavioural data recording and analysis purposes
- Biobserve -- software, mobile systems and equipment for behavioural data recording
- Cowlog -- a free software for recording behaviors from digital video developed
- Grazing Behaviour Recorder -- automatic recording of foraging behaviour
- LABORAS -- A system for the automatic behavior recognition of rats and mice (by Metris b.v)
- Loligo Systems -- We develop specially-made research and teaching equipment for animal physiology, behavior and kinematics
- Minni Mitter -- physiological and behavioral monitoring for humans and animals
- The Observer -- behavioural software by Noldus Information Technology (other software: EthoVision, UltraVox, MatMan, Theme)
- Optibrand -- livestock identification using retinal images
- Raven -- interactive sound analysis software from the Cornell University lab of ornithology
- SONOTRACK A system for the recording and analysis of Ultrasound Vocalizations (by Metris b.v)
- Sound Ruler -- a free acoustic analysis, graphing and teaching tool
- TrackSys, Limited -- software solutions for behavioural research
Are you an academic teacher of applied animal behaviour science looking for ideas?
If you are an academic teacher, working in the field of applied ethology, you might be interested to join the Linked-in group, were people can change and discuss about the current topics.
The future aim would be to collect applied animal behaviour teaching material under these pages.
Thinking of studying applied aimal behaviour science?
Applied ethology is taught in several universities all over the world, either part of biology, agri-scientist or veterinary education, or as an independent degree. You can get more info by contacting the regional secretary near you.
Some institues are offering applied-animal-behaviour-related online e-learning courses, suchas the Cambridge e-learning institute.
Searching for PhD opportunities and courses?
If you are thinking of doctoral education in applied animal behaviour science, contact directly the reseracher of whose work you are interested in.
You may find interesting articles and possible persons to contact from the main scientific journal in the field: Applied Animal Behaviour Science. Please visit the journal homepage for details The journal publishes relevant information on the behaviour of domesticated and utilized animals.
In addition, there is an ongoing flow of several PhD courses on the subject, organized by individual labs and universities all over the world. Many of those are advertised through ISAE membership newsletters and on our employment page.
