In laboratory animals, acupuncture needs to be performed on either anesthetized or, if unanesthetized, restrained subjects. Both procedures up-regulate c-Fos expression in several areas of the central nervous system, representing therefore a major pitfall for the assessment of c-Fos expression induced by electroacupuncture. Thus, in order to reduce the effect of acute restraint we used a protocol of repeated restraint for the assessment of the brain areas activated by electroacupuncture in adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-230 g. Repeated immobilization protocols (6 days, 1 h/day and 13 days, 2 h/day) were used to reduce the effect of acute immobilization stress on the c-Fos expression induced by electroacupuncture at the Zusanli point (EA36S). Animals... |

In several insects, sex-pheromones are essential for reproduction and reproductive isolation. Pheromones generally elicit stereotyped behaviors. In moths, these are attraction to conspecific sex-pheromone sources and deterrence for heterospecific sex-pheromone. Contrasting with these innate behaviors, some results in social insects point toward effects of non-sex-pheromones on perception and learning. We report the effects of sex-pheromone pre-exposure on gustatory perception and habituation (a non-associative learning) in male Agrotis ipsilon moths, a non-social insect. We also studied the effect of Z5-decenyl acetate (Z5), a compound of the sex-pheromone of the related species Agrotis segetum. We hypothesized that conspecific sex-pheromone and Z5 would... |

Adequate habituation of free-ranging subjects is essential for any field study, but is generally unsystematic. Here, attempts to habituate three titi monkey (Callicebus coimbrai Kobayashi & Langguth, 1999) groups are described, and factors determining the effectiveness of the process are discussed. The "relentless pursuit" approach was aided by playback recordings of vocalizations but only one group was habituated adequately. Average contact in 13 encounters with group 1 was just over one minute, whereas in 32 encounters with group 2, it averaged 3,5 minutes (maximum = 22 minutes). Group 3 was more tolerant of observers, and was considered fully habituated by the seventh encounter. The factors determining this disparity remain unclear, although... |

Differences in bold and shy personality on sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax were investigated between a population (wild) produced from wild-brood fish and a population (selected) produced from selected-brood fish. During the experiment (112 days), fish were reared under self-feeding condition to characterize the feeding behaviour of each individual fish. Three risk-taking tests (T1, T2 and T3 of 24 h with day-night alternation) were carried out at > 1 month intervals on 180 fish of each strain in order to monitor D. labrax behaviour over time and in relation to the light:dark period. A risk-taking score was evaluated via a preference choice between a safe zone (without food) and a risky zone (potentially with food) by recording the number and the duration... |

48頭のホルスタイン種搾乳牛を自動搾乳システムの搾乳ボックスへ初めて入れるときの馴致訓練の過程を調査した.通路通過の予備訓練が5日間行われた後,搾乳ボックス内に入れる訓練が8 日間行われた.牛群は3グループに分けられ搾乳が開始された.観察項目は,1)通路入口ゲートが開いてからウシがゲートを通過し終わるまでの時間,2)ゲートを通過してから搾乳ボックスに入るまでの時間,および3)搾乳ボックスへの進入難易度であった. ウシが抵抗なく搾乳ボックスに入るようになる(進入難易度が1になる)までに要した訓練回数は10.8±7.5 (M±SD)回であったが,個体のばらつきは大きかった(4~33回).半数のウシの進入難易度がlになるまでに要した訓練回数は約14回であった.進入難易度に影響する要因として,産次,訓練グループおよび通路通過の予備訓練について調べた結果,予備訓練が4回以下のウシに比べ5回以上のウシの方が,また,経産牛より初産牛の方が早く新しい搾乳システムに慣れたと判断され(P<0.05). Training of cows to enter the milking boxes of new installed automatic milking system at a farm was made. Forty-eight Holstein cows were transferred from the conventional stanchion-stall barn to the new free-stall barn. The automatic milking system consisted of an entrance gate,an alley and three milking boxes of... |
