• Exploration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function as a tool to evaluate animal welfare. (2007, background): “Beyond a large diversity of concepts, welfare refers principally to the subjective psychological state of the individual, as related to its internal and external environment [1,2].”
• Environmental enrichment as a strategy for mitigating stereotypies in zoo animals: a literature review and meta-analysis. (2006, background): “For instance, high levels of feeding motivation associated with insufficient nutrient intake can, quite independently of opportunities to perform foraging behaviours, lead to stereotypy performance (e.g. Rushen, 2003; see Chapter 2).”
• Reproductive technologies in farm animals (2005, background): “According to Rushen (2003), the concepts of animal welfare used by researchers are often too limited and do not address many of the issues of concern to the public; too much reliance has been placed on physiological, immune and behavioural measures of welfare that have not been adequately validated.”
• Productivity and mortality of laying hens in aviaries: a systematic review (2005, background): “Rushen (2003) stressed the importance of recognising the effect of such confounding factors when assessing housing systems.”
• Concepts of plant health – reviewing and challenging the foundations of plant protection (2012, unknown): “, 2007), ‘forest’ (Holdenrieder, 1991), ‘ecosystem’ (Kimmins, 1997), ‘landscape’ (Ferguson, 1994), ‘animal’ (Rushen, 2003), and indeed, ‘global health’ (Rapport&Maffi, 2010).”
• Stereotypic oral behaviour in captive ungulates: foraging, diet and gastrointestinal function. (2006, background): “…energy expenditure and causes tooth wear (e.g. McGreevy and Nicol, 1998a), while oral stereotypies in sows similarly increase energy-use (Cronin et al., 1986), reduce weight gain (Bergeron and Gonyou, 1997) and perhaps exacerbate the effects of food restriction on hunger levels (Rushen, 2003).”
