The practical focus of this authoritative, comprehensive encyclopedia promotes the understanding and improvement of animal behavior without compromising welfare. Under the editorial direction of Professor Daniel Mills, the UK’s first specialist in veterinary behavioral medicine, over 180 international experts have contributed a wealth of fully cross-referenced entries from concise definitions to detailed short essays on biological, practical, clinical and ethical aspects of behavior and welfare in domestic, exotic, companion and zoo animals.
Entries include: Abandoned Animals, Breeding, Central Nervous System, Confinement, Dominance, Environment, Feeding, Grazing Behavior, Hierarchy, Immune Systems, Laying Hen Housing, Maternal Behavior, Nursing, Operant Tests, Parental Behavior, Rearing Environment, Sexual Behavior, Slaughter, Transport, Ultrasound, Vision, Wildlife Management and the Zoo.
Daniel S. Mills
Daniel S. Mills is an RCVS, European and ASAB recognized specialist in clinical animal behavior, and was the first professor of the discipline in Europe. While his clinical and scientific work has historically focused on the disruptive effect of companion animal behavior on owners and society (problem behavior and its management) through his work as a clinical animal behaviorist, he has more recently pursued an interest in assistance dogs and animal assisted interventions through diverse collaborations. His research in this area has included the first longitudinal study of its kind (3 year follow up) examining the effect of the pet dog on families with an autistic child, the effect of reading to dogs in schools and the impact of dogs in the workplace (currently under review). Professor Mills is a well-known international speaker on companion animal behavior/welfare and the role of animals in society , with around 100 peer-reviewed full scientific research publications, over 40 books and chapters, and over a hundred ISBN indexed conference abstracts. He heads up a large interdisciplinary group at Lincoln with 11 Post Graduate Research students and 3 Post Doctoral Researchers.
