Ethograms can be used to detect the occurrence or prevalence of abnormal behaviours (e.g. stereotypies, feather pecking, tail-biting), normal behaviours (e.g. comfort behaviours), departures from the ethogram of ancestral species and the behaviour of captive animals upon release into a natural environment.
Why do scientists use ethograms?
Ethograms can help scientists learn about changes in behavior that might be related to disease, habitat loss, new predators in the area, and other stresses or threats to the animals, their groups, or even an entire species.
Who created the ethogram?
“Ethog the Hedgehog”, the original Ethogram mascot. The Ethogram was founded in 2014 by graduate students Katrina Brock, Emily Burke, Grace Davis, Sean Ehlman, Kelly Finn, Aaron Haiman, Ryane Logsdon, Tez Stair, and Eric Van Cleave.
