Dear BERGers As promised, here is a link to Kristine Gandia’s presentation entitled " "Using a worldwide zoo database to assess the effect of circadian synchrony on animal welfare" It is 15 minutes long, and we hope you will watch it IN ADVANCE of the BERG meeting to discuss during the BERG meeting. Kristine has some additional slides she may share relating circadian rhythms to our current situation with lockdown, and she may even share her future research plans to get feedback before she embarks upon it. We trust you will not share this presentation beyond BERG without express permission from Kristine Gandia - this is a practice presentation for the virtual EAZA conference, and should you wish a final version then please ask Kristine (k.m.gandia@stir.ac.uk). if you are unable to come to BERG, but still wish to offer feedback, you can also email Kristine directly. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7d79kjkx3w1tjf6/EAZA%20virtual%20presentation.mp4?...

Excited to share a summary of Dr Betsy Herrelko's (National Zoo, Washington DC) presentation for BERG next week (May 20th). Animal perspectives affect everything we do in zoos. Our success as animal care specialists heavily relies on identifying those perspectives and understanding how to best work with each individual’s needs. When we take into consideration behavioral responses to their social environment and added activities, our understanding of the complexity of their world becomes richer. In this BERG, we will talk about a few of the ways in which perception is studied (largely focused on my own work) and how it can impact applied practices. Please also consider completing this questionnaire for one of our Masters students - it takes just 20 mins to complete: https://stirlingpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5iKUUuwW5V97dWJ The aim of the study is to investigate the effects which different photos have on everyday food choices and related personality variables.
