“…After two years with the Fish and Wildlife Service, Hasler returned to the University of Wisconsin, completed his Ph.D. in 1937, was hired as an instructor of zoology, and was promoted to assistant professor in 1941. He had become fluent in German during his teenage Mormon field service in Germany, and in 1945, when he entered Germany with the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, he took the opportunity to become friends with Karl von Frisch in Munich—who later won his Nobel Prize for studies on bee behavior (Egerton :66–67), but who had also studied fish behavior (von Frisch , b )—and Wilhelm G. Einsele at the Anstalt für Fischerie, Weissenbach an Attersee, near Salzburg, Austria (Egerton :97). Frisch conducted sensory and behavioral studies on bees during the summer and on fish during the winter.…”

“…Until recently, there have been several definitions for the discipline whose central interest is getting to know more about the behavior and cognition of non-human (and human) animals [ 26 ], but the word “Ethology” has served as the wider umbrella term to embrace all. However, after the progressive emergence of different associations, conferences, and handbooks that chose related but different denominations to refer to this area of study, and after the emergence of the cognitive revolution during the 1960s, it may have happened that not all researchers would pick up the same name for the discipline (for the evolution of the discipline denomination, the interested reader may refer to elsewhere, e.g., [ 27 ]), with a subsequent risk to its consolidation. Thus, the participants were asked which preferred denomination would better embrace the studies they do.…”

Where Is Ethology Heading? An Invitation for Collective Metadisciplinary Discussion

Many factors can impact the advancement of scientific disciplines. In the study of animal behavior and cognition (i.e., Ethology), a lack of consensus about definitions or the emergence of some current events and inventions, among other aspects, may challenge the discipline’s grounds within the next decades. A collective metadisciplinary discussion may help in envisioning the future to come. For that purpose, I elaborated an online questionnaire about the level of consensus and the researchers’ ways of doing in seven areas: Discipline name and concepts, species, Umwelt, technology, data, networking, and the impact of sociocultural and ecological factors. I recruited the opinion of almost a hundred of colleagues worldwide (N = 98), both junior and seniors, working both in the wild and in the lab. While the results were pitted against the literature, general conclusions should be taken with caution and considered as a first attempt in exploring the state of the discipline from the researchers’ perspective: There is no unanimity for the discipline’s name; 71.4% of the researchers reported there is limited consensus in the definition of relevant concepts (i.e., culture, cognition); primate species still predominate in publications whereas the species selection criteria is sometimes based on fascination, chance, or funding opportunities rather than on biocentric questions; 56.1% of the apparatuses employed do not resemble species’ ecological problems, and current tech needs would be solved by fostering collaboration with engineers. Finally, embracing the Open Science paradigm, supporting networking efforts, and promoting diversity in research teams may help in gathering further knowledge in the area. Some suggestions are proposed to overcome the aforementioned problems in this contemporary analysis of our discipline.

“…Психіка і поведінка тварин утворюють безпосередню єдність, тому що вони не мають здатності свідомо аналізувати ситуацію і їх реакція на будь-які значущі сигнали із зовнішнього середовища проявляється у вигляді рухової реакції. Сучасна зоопсихологія визначає поведінку тварин як сукупність зовнішньої, переважно рухової активності, яка спрямована на встановлення зв'язків організму із середовищем її проживання (Leont'yev, 1972, Egerton, 2016.…”

Ethology and Zoopsychology in the system of training a doctor of veterinary medicine

The authors have analyzed and summarized data sources regarding the necessary teaching of ethology and zoopsychology for students of the faculties of veterinary medicine. Ethology and zoopsychology is a compulsory subject for almost all educational institutions of this profile in Europe and the USA. In Ukraine these subjects are constant at the studying programs of the psychology faculties of the different universities, which prepare the specialists of reworking agrifood, the specialists of horse breeding, the felinologiests and others, but these ones are not consist a part of the preparing programs for the vet medicine students. Nevertheless, for a treatment and prevention it needs to understand the animal behavior features of and to might find out the approaches, to use humane methods without any animal damages and suffering. Ethology it is science, which studies the animal behavior from the biology side but Zoopsichology is close to both biological and psychological sciences and investigate not only natural behavior, but also the animal psyche. Therefore, until today there is a lot of unknown and obscure things into natural behavioral processes so the new explorations raise the curtain over the issues to understand animal and find access to its. It is only conditionally might be dividing the biological and psychological aspects of behavior because of it is impossible to connect they together without take into consideration the psyche factors. The animal psyche is necessary component of the ontho- and phylogenesis which is regulates the relationships between an organism and the environment. The tasks of Zoopsychology are studying of the formation of the psyche processes in animal during the ontogenesis, an origin of the psyche and its development, but Ethology tasks are – the stages of the ontho- and phylogenetical development of the behavior, determine its importance as a development factor, studying of the individual or population adaptation of the animals. The main respect comes to species-specific (instinctive) components of behavior. Ethological analysis is based on the study of biological methods of holistic behavioral act. Particular attention is paid to biological (etological) mechanisms of behavioral acts, the relationship between species and other taxa of animals on these grounds. Ethology studies the changes of the animal behavior in comparison with norms during emergency too. Its achievements are used in animal husbandry and other sectors of the economy, as well as in the development of scientific bases for keeping animals in captivity.
