BERG/SHAIR this Weds: UFAW Guest Lecture
by Clare Andrews 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Dear BERG/SHAIR, This week we have an exciting guest lecture on Wednesday: University of Stirling’s 2023 Universities Federation for Animal Welfare<https://www.ufaw.org.uk/ufaw-events/fsvo-ufaw-symposium-a-humanely-ending-t…> Guest Lecture Alexander Weiss, University of Edinburgh Making (Vegan?) Sausages: Lessons Learned from Editing a Book on Primate Welfare and Well-Being [A green and white website Description automatically generated] Abstract: Over an eight-year period I worked with Lauren Robinson—then my Ph.D. student—to edit the edited volume “Nonhuman Primate Welfare: From History, Science, and Ethics to Practice<https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-82708-3#aboutBook>”, which was published recently by Springer. The book grew out of my interest in well-being, both in animals and in humans, and in Lauren’s interest in primate welfare, and in a belief in freedom of expression and the value of open debate. The project cut deeply into both a visiting professorship I held at Kyoto University and into a sabbatical in Tucson, Arizona. Based on my previous experiences editing books, I did not intend or expect it to take so long. I also did not expect to learn as much as I did about primate welfare. I also learned a lot of lessons about editing an academic book, which I did not learn with previous volumes, which took less time. In my talk, after a brief overview of my own interest in the area, I will cover what I learned over those eight years and what, should I edit another volume, I would do differently. I will also take the time to say “Thank you and goodbye.” to old friends. Please join us for the lecture in the Psychology Common Room (Cottrell, C3A94) and hybrid (link here<https://tinyurl.com/BERG-UFAW23>). We are grateful to UFAW for kindly sponsoring this lecture! All are welcome to join us for dinner along with Alex afterwards! Sadly for us, Alex will soon be moving away from Scotland, so this is an opportunity not to be missed. Please email (clare.andrews(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:clare.andrews@stir.ac.uk>, by Weds 15 Nov morning) if you would like to come along. The upcoming BERG programme is here<https://stir-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/ac112_stir_ac_uk/EQ3iZqvHkMNI…>. Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

Opportunity to review Owl Monkey book for IJP
by Sharon Kessler 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Dear Bergers, If anyone would be interested in reviewing a new edited book on owl monkeys for the International Journal of Primatology please get in touch with me. The book is: <https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-13555-2> Fernandez-Duque, E. (2023). Owl Monkeys - Biology, Adaptive Radiation, and Behavioral Ecology of the Only Nocturnal Primate in the Americas. Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects Series, Springer Press. And is available here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-13555-2 Abstract The book synthesizes new field data on the biogeography, behavioral ecology, circadian biology, population biology and demography of owl monkeys spanning their entire continental range from Panamá to Argentina. It includes theoretical perspectives drawn from evolutionary biology, biological anthropology, anatomy, morphology and physiology, genetics, endocrinology and conservation biology to examine a specific set of adaptations that have allowed owl monkeys to exploit the nocturnal niche while functioning in a pair-living sexually monogamous system with remarkable patterns of paternal care. The expertise of Eduardo Fernandez-Duque (Editor), with 30 years of research experience with both captive and wild primates, makes this book one of a kind. The volume brings together a combination of senior researchers who during four decades have established captive owl monkeys as a system of study with a new generation of younger scientists who have, for the last 10-20 years, been spearheading their study in the wild. The 25 chapters (10 of them led by Latin American researchers) present the work of a remarkably diverse range of authors; the majority of them nationals of countries where owl monkeys are present, as well as researchers from the U.S and Europe.

Funded PhD scholarship opportunity
by Hannah Buchanan-Smith 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Please see the message below from Blake Morton if interested in an exciting opportunity to apply for a funded PhD on climate change and water. Project Outline: Human-induced climate change is driving major planetary changes to the environment, threatening the well-being and survival of species, including humans. Water plays a central role in these environmental changes (e.g., flooding, drought, and coastal development), but people’s willingness to change their behaviour to overcome the climate crisis is made difficult by their growing psychological “disconnection” with nature. The current study aims to test whether promoting awareness of psychological traits in wildlife has a direct impact on public engagement with the climate crisis (e.g., explicit lifestyle changes). The selected candidate will evaluate how different audiences respond to various forms of knowledge dissemination in which the parallels between how animals and people adapt to the same climate-related challenges are emphasised. People’s attitudinal and behavioural changes in light of their exposure to this content will be evaluated through follow-up questionnaires and in-person interviews. By the end of this study, we will be able to establish whether animal psychology research is an effective tool for generating further engagement with the climate crisis in people. We are looking for an enthusiastic student with the following general qualities: 1) background in psychology or related discipline (e.g., animal behaviour), 2) experience conducting fieldwork with wild animals (e.g., trail cameras) and/or using social science techniques (e.g., questionnaires/interviews), 3) a valid UK/EU driving license, 4) a vehicle for driving on countryside roads, and 5) a proficiency, or willingness to become proficient, in data analysis using R. The PI is Dr Blake Morton, and the selected candidate will join Dr Morton’s on-going research programme, The British Carnivore Project, which will form the basis for this PhD project. For further information about Dr Morton and The British Carnivore, please read here: https://www.blakemorton.co.uk/case-studies/ For all inquiries, please email Dr Morton directly (b.morton(a)hull.ac.uk) ________________________________ From: Blake Morton <B.Morton(a)hull.ac.uk> Sent: Thursday, November 2, 2023 3:04 pm To: b.morton Subject: PhD scholarship opportunity CAUTION: This email originated from outside University of Stirling. Do not follow links or open attachments if you doubt the authenticity of the sender or the content. ________________________________ Dear All, I am writing to you because recently my colleague and I were successful in getting offered funding through Hull’s Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarships Centre for Water Cultures. The scholarship covers tuition for UK residents (i.e., not international tuition fees), and it also includes a salary plus research stipend for the successful applicant for four years. Funding is conditional on finding the strongest applicant, however, and so I was hoping you might help us circulate the attached document as widely as possible to anyone you know who might be interested and has a background in psychology, animal behaviour, conservation, and/or anything else to do with the environmental sciences. The link to the application portal isn’t live yet, so please tell them to contact me directly for a chat if they’re interested (b.morton(a)hull.ac.uk<mailto:b.morton@hull.ac.uk>).

BERG/SHAIR talk this Wednesday 4-5pm: Large Carnivore Coexistence in Scotland
by Clare Andrews 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Dear BERGers and SHAIRers, Our seminar this Wednesday 18 October 4-5pm in the Psychology Common Room (Cottrell, C3A94) and hybrid<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a9823d93069124396a7a40d99c827…> (link to join the online meeting here<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a9823d93069124396a7a40d99c827…>) will be given by Toryn Whitehead - details below. Everyone is welcome and postgraduate students are encouraged to attend. If you would like to join us for dinner with the speaker afterwards, please let me (clare.andrews(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:clare.andrews@stir.ac.uk>) know (by Wednesday morning) - all are welcome! Toryn Whitehead, King's College London Planning for large carnivore coexistence in Scotland: A shifting baseline syndrome perspective Abstract: 1. The extirpation of large carnivores (LCs) from Scotland has had far reaching social and ecological implications. In the absence of LCs, burgeoning wild ungulate populations and extensive livestock grazing systems have drastically altered landscapes. Historical land-use changes, such as during the Highland Clearances, depopulated and further dewilded landscapes to eradicate 'backwardness' and produce highly concentrated patterns of private land ownership. 2. Co-occurring with the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and growing support for a nature positive vision for Scotland, reintroducing LCs has been flagged as a powerful intervention to combat the biodiversity crisis by conservation NGOs. But efforts to reintroduce LCs are controversial and highly contested, with the competing values and objectives of stakeholders often unable to find common ground. 3. We draw on the academic literature, popular media, and policy documents to consider the potential reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx and wolf in Scotland through a shifting baseline syndrome lens to review the social, psychological, cultural, ecological, and economic factors influencing their reintroduction. 4. Lynxes and wolves are biologically extinct but societally extant in Scotland. We argue that the lack of precise data about the impacts of LCs and the loss of lived interactions and experiences has resulted in the cultural transformation of these species to varying degrees. Vicarious experiences such as folklore and pop culture have become societally predominant, enabling myths and wishful thinking about wolves in particular to proliferate. 5. Our review develops novel and innovative thinking about how visions for the Scottish landscape, with or without LCs, could help achieve livelihood, biodiversity, and carbon aspirations. We make several recommendations that could contribute to bridging knowledge gaps and moving from conflict to tolerance. Most importantly, to prioritise and empower local communities through policy and conservation decision-making processes to ensure that any transition is socially just and economically feasible.
