• Preference for structured environment in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and checker barbs (Puntius oligolepis) (2011, background): “In mammals and birds it has been shown that introducing environmental enrichment such as structural enrichment can create a stimulating environment that facilitates species specific behaviour, and behavioural problems may be reduced or even prevented (Shyne, 2006).”
• Natural behavioural biology as a risk factor in carnivore welfare: How analysing species differences could help zoos improve enclosures § (2007, background): “Enrichments, for example, often reduce stereotypic behaviour, but very rarely abolish it (Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 2005; Shyne, 2006); some individuals’ abnormal behaviours are extremely intransigent; and some species remain stubbornly problematic to breed.”
• The effect of feeding enrichment toys on the behaviour of kennelled dogs (Canis familiaris) (2008, background): “It can, for instance, increase the display of appetitive feeding behaviour, result in less inactivity and reduce abnormal behaviours, such as stereotypies (Hayes, 1990; Forthman et al., 1992; Stepherdson et al., 1993; Ings et al., 1996; O’Connor, 2000; Swaisgood et al., 2001; Shyne, 2006).”
