PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dr Paul Rose gained his PhD in 2018, investigating the behaviour and welfare of captive flamingos using a variety of methodological approaching including social networks analysis. He is a lecturer in the Psychology Department at the University of Exeter where he specialises in animal behaviour. Paul also works for the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) where he manages the Animal Welfare & Ethics Committee and is a research associate for WWT’s captive animal research programme. Paul is also a lecturer on the zoo animal management courses for University Centre Sparsholt. As a member of Defra’s Zoos Expert Committee, Paul writes and reviews policy pertaining to the running and licencing of zoos and aquariums. Paul is also co-chair of the IUCN Flamingo Specialist Group and is a member of the IUCN SSC Giraffe & Okapi Specialist Group. He is the co-chair of the BIAZA Research Committee and a member of the BIAZA Bird Working Group steering committee. Paul completed his first piece of in-zoo research in 2002 and has been professionally involved in zoo animal behaviour and welfare in an academic and practitioner capacity since 2006. His research predominantly focusses on behaviour and welfare, and evidence for zoo husbandry. He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London.
"""The Behavioral Biology of Zoo Animals leverages the expertise of biologists to describe key aspects of a species’ natural life history and behavioral ecology that can inform holistic, evidence-based animal management decisions to enhance the health and wellbeing of zoo and aquarium animals. The taxa covered in this text are remarkably diverse and extend beyond high-profile species, with entire chapters dedicated to historically under-represented taxonomic groups such as amphibians, reptiles, fishes, sharks, and invertebrates. The book is an eloquent synergy of scientific research and species-specific husbandry that looks into the future of how we manage animals in zoos and aquariums, making it a valuable resource for animal managers, administrators, scientists, veterinarians, and students alike."" James Gillis, PhD, South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction & Conservation, Florida, USA ""This book emphasises the importance of applying behavioural ecology concepts to zoo animals and as such should have broad appeal to students from a range of biological disciplines from zoology to animal behaviour and animal management. It is particularly exciting to see emphasis placed on less studied (in zoos) taxonomic groups such as invertebrates and amphibians.""
