• Current status and future directions of applied behavioral research for animal welfare and conservation (2007, background): “The good news is that many zoo animals display no stereotypy problems or other obvious signs of poor welfare, enrichment is used successfully to address these problems, and – most encouraging – enrichment is used even when there are no apparent welfare problems (Swaisgood and Shepherdson, 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.”
