An integrative and functional framework for the study of animal emotion and mood (2010, background): “…in how they rank order individuals (i.e. in terms of ‘fearfulness’), but disagreement is common (e.g. Ramos & Mormede 1998; Miller et al. 2006; Forkman et al. 2007) and behavioural and physiological responses often vary considerably across tests which are all ostensibly designed to measure…”
Thermonociception in fish: Effects of two different doses of morphine on thermal threshold and post-test behaviour in goldfish (Carassius auratus) (2009, background): “(3) It is well documented that uncontrollable exposure to novelty and involuntary, uncontrollable restraint induces fear in animals (Boissy, 1995; Jones, 1997; Forkman et al., 2007).”
Personality and foraging decisions in fallow deer, Dama dama (2011, background): “Within domesticated ungulates, fearfulness has been frequently tested experimentally (reviewed in Boissy 1995; Forkman et al. 2007).”
Observer ratings: validity and value as a tool for animal welfare research (2009, background): “Order effects further complicate the interpretation of multiple test results (Forkman et al., 2007).”
Behavioural and physiological assessment of positive and negative emotion in sheep (2009, background): “identify stimuli that are likely to be stressful or perceived as emotionally negative; common examples are tests for fear and anxiety (Stiedl et al. 2004; Forkman et al. 2007), including separation from group members in the case of gregarious animals (Baldock & Sibly 1990; Sandem & Braastad 2005).”
Escape behaviour of birds provides evidence of predation being involved in urbanization (2012, background): “In chickens and barn swallows, Hirundo rustica, measurements have a strongly bimodal distribution, with most individuals having tonic immobility for 0e5 s, but some 10e20% for 25e30þ s (Hoagland 1928; Jones 1986; Boissy 1995; Forkman et al. 2007; Møller et al. 2011).”
A review of behavioural methods to study emotion and mood in pigs, Sus scrofa (2014, background): “exist, one with reference to the usefulness of the methods to animal welfare science (Forkman et al., 2007) and the second with respect to neuroscience (Lind et al.”
Validity and feasibility of qualitative behavior assessment for the evaluation of Nellore cattle temperament (2013, background): “, 2004), fear (Forkman et al., 2007), reaction to humans (Windschnurer et al.”
Integration into the dairy cow herd: long-term effects of mother contact during the first twelve weeks of life (2012, background): “This suggests that stress levels are lower in animals reared by a foster cow (Forkmann et al., 2007).”
