  1. 1. Home range- and behavioural analysis of the Saddleback tamarin (Leontocebus fuscicollis) in Madre de Dios, Peru

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Zooekologi

    Author : Marianne Kristine Nymark; [2023]
    Keywords : Saddleback tamarin; Leontocebus fuscicollis; behaviour; behavior; home range;

    Abstract : 60% of primates in the world are threatened with extinction, while 75% have declining populations. The biggest threats to primates are the result of human activity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Besökarpåverkan hos lodjur (Lynx lynx) på djurpark

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Blenda Lindau; [2022]
    Keywords : besökarpåverkan; lodjur; stereotypier; djurvälfärd; hägnutnyttjande;

    Abstract : Zoo visitors can affect captive animals in a negative, neutral or positive way. To achieve great welfare for the animals we need a better understanding of how visitors influence their behaviours. The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is not as studied as other Felidae and there is a lack of knowledge on how to manage stereotypies, such as pacing. READ MORE

  4. 3. Deep learning for non-intrusive sensing in turbulence with passive scalars

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Arivazhagan Geetha Balasubramanian; [2021]
    Keywords : Turbulent boundary layer; passive scalar; direct numerical simulation; Prandtl number; Machine learning; convolutional neural network; Turbulent gränsskikt; passiv skalär; direkt numerisk simulering; Prandtl-nummer; maskininlärning; faltningsneurala nätverk;

    Abstract : The near-wall modelling of turbulent flows has been an active field of research due to the computational cost associated with the direct numerical simulations of such flow, which are characterized by a wide range of length and time scales. With the recent advancements in technological capabilities, the availability of high-fidelity data has enabled the construction of data-driven approaches to model turbulence. READ MORE

  5. 4. Individuella skillnader i hägnutnyttjande och solande hos strålsköldpaddor som hålls i grupp

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Johan Deander; [2021]
    Keywords : strålsköldpadda; Astrochelys radiata; hägnutnyttjande; elektivitetsindex; solande; UV-ljus; temperaturreglering; djurpark;

    Abstract : The thermal environment is of great importance to all animals, but even more so for ectothermal species that are dependent on external heat provision. Surrounding temperature can be linked to the behaviour and welfare of the animals and the artificial heat and light sources in captivity must be of high quality to enable physiological function, natural behaviour and good health.

  6. 5. The effect of forage on piglets’ behavior in connection with weaning

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Linnea Wikars; [2021]
    Keywords : behaviour; enrichment; forage; pig; silage; weaning;

    Abstract : Pigs’ (Sus scrofa) behaviors are affected by the environment they are housed in, where an enriched environment offers pigs to perform more diverse behaviors. Pigs reared in barren environments perform more oral manipulation toward their pen mates, compared to pigs reared in enriched environments. READ MORE
