Abstract

At the 25th Anniversary Congress of the Society for Veterinary Ethology (now the International Society for Applied Ethology), six workshops were held on the future of applied ethology. Each was asked to identify important issues and to make recommendations on how those issues should be addressed. The topics of the workshops were: socioeconomics; genetic selection and manipulation; environmental technology; behavioural physiology; conservation; human-animal relationships. Three common themes to emerge were: first, the continuing importance of ethology's emphasis on the individual animal; second, the increasing role of interdisciplinary studies; third, an increasing need for dissemination of the information gained in applied behaviour studies.
