<div><font face="Helvetica" size="2" color="#222222"><span style="font-size:9pt;">Following six months consultation with our colleagues on the Animal Care Committee at the Animal Behavior Society, we are pleased to inform the membership that an updated version
of the Guidelines for the use of Animals in Behavioural Research and Teaching have been released. The updated version was included in the January issue of Animal Behaviour, and they are freely available to download from ASAB’s web pages (<a href="http://www.asab.org/ethics/"><font color="#0563C1"><u>http://www.asab.org/ethics/</u></font></a>).
Further, I would like to let you know that in addition to our endorsement of the ARRIVE guidelines, the Ethics (ASAB) and Animal Care (ABS) Committees have also agreed to support the use of the PREPARE Guidelines. PREPARE have been designed to assist researchers
when they are at planning stage of experiments. Further information on PREPARE can be found in the 2018 version of the Guidelines, and via this web link (<a href="https://norecopa.no/prepare"><font color="#0563C1"><u>https://norecopa.no/prepare</u></font></a>). <br>
