applied ethology

Applied ethology is the study of animal behavior in real-world contexts, focusing on understanding how animals interact with their environment and each other. It combines insights from biology, psychology, and ecology to address practical issues, such as improving animal welfare, enhancing farming practices, and managing wildlife. By observing and analyzing behaviors, applied ethologists can develop strategies that promote better living conditions for domesticated animals and support conservation efforts for wild species, ultimately benefiting both animals and humans.
