- To pace or not to pace? A review of what abnormal repetitive behavior tells us about zoo animal management (2017, background): “An individual can become so reliant on behavioral psychopathology that it gives no response to careful resocialization or environmental enrichment when this is provided (Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 2005; Brüne et al., 2006; Rommeck et al., 2009).”
- Environmental enrichment induces optimistic cognitive bias in rats (2011, methodology): “As enrichment has been used in previous animal tests of cognitive bias, and is widely thought to improve animal welfare (Garner 2005; Swaisgood & Shepherdson 2005), we tested the responses of rats to ambiguous probe cues before and after the addition of environmental enrichment, with the hypothesis…”
- Different strokes: Can managing behavioral types increase post-release success? (2007, background): “However, this approach is not sensitive to the differential effects of environmental interventions on individual animals, or the variation in behavior that may exist between individuals who have experienced identical environmental intervention ( Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 2005 ).”
- Zoo Animal Welfare (2013, methodology): “Repeated-treatment designs can control for confounding variables and has higher internal validity (Swaisgood and Shepherdson 2005).”
- Current status and future directions of applied behavioral research for animal welfare and conservation (2007, background): “To cite one example, zoo researchers all too often use an ‘‘everything-but-the-kitchen-sink’’ approach whereby they heap various forms of enrichment together in a single enrichment study (Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 2005; see also, Schetini et al., 2007).”
- Why and how should we use environmental enrichment to tackle stereotypic behaviour (2007, background): “Now, research on the behaviour of zoo animals can be difficult (e.g. Clubb and Vickery, in press; Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 2005, in press), but it does bring with it some unique advantages due the great variation in housing, rearing and species-type across such institutions.”
- Enclosure choice and well‐being in giant pandas: is it all about control? (2005, background): “Although this is a legitimate statistical analysis using repeated measures to increase degrees of freedom, we recognize that a study of four subjects is of limited generalizability [ Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 2005 ] and therefore urge caution when extending these findings beyond the animals studied”
