Send us a textShort Summary: Do elephants and other animals have language-like abilities, such as the ability to use individual names to refer to themselves and others?About the guest: Michael Pardo, PhD studies animal behavior at Cornell University, where he focused on animal communication and cognition. His work includes extensive field research with African elephants in Kenya.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Michael Pardo, PhD talks about his research on animal communication, focusing on whether African savanna elephants use vocal "names" to address each other. They explore the broader context of vocal communication across species like dolphins, parrots, and marmosets, discussing how these systems compare to human language and what they reveal about its evolution. Dr. Pardo shares details of his fieldwork in Kenya, elephant social structures, and their behaviors like mourning the dead, while also touching on the challenges and joys of studying animals in their natural habitats.Key Takeaways:Elephants may use unique vocal rumbles to address specific individuals.Dolphins use signature whistles as "calling cards," sometimes imitating others' whistles to get their attention, hinting at a form of naming.Elephant society features female-led family groups and dispersing males.Elephants show intriguing behaviors like visiting carcasses and covering them with dirt, suggesting an awareness of death uncommon in most animals.Human language evolution may have evolved gradually from simpler communication systems, as seen in various species, rather than emerging suddenly.Studying less charismatic animals like chickens could uncover surprisingly complex communication, broadening our understanding of cognition in nature.Related episode:M&M #20: Language, Symbolic Cognition, Evolution, Origins of the Human Mind Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes the multi-talented Isabella Rossellini to the show. The conversation kicks off with Isabella telling us about the inspiration behind the establishment of Mama Farm in 2013; her regenerative farm, Bed and Breakfast, and events venue in Brookhaven, N.Y. She speaks of her Italian heritage and how this informed her of the importance of locally grown foods, eating healthy and creating community around the earth and her bounty. On the farm she focuses on heritage breeds and heirloom seeds. As an Ethologist, she observes and continues to learn about animal behaviors raising her chickens, sheep, bees and other assorted animals on the farm. Amy and Isabella then pivot and explore the themes of reinvention and intuition, especially as they pertain to the roles of women in society. Isabella shares personal anecdotes about her own process of reinvention, from her early ambitions and careers as a model and actress to then directing films. After opportunities in these areas diminished in her fourth decade, Isabella went back to school to study Ethology, the study of animal behavior. And then in her 6th and 7th decades her work as an actress and model had a resurgence, establishing herself again as a woman of great talent and beauty. Both speakers discuss the importance of trusting one's intuition in various life situations, whether in personal health, professional endeavors, or navigating societal expectations. Isabella's story is not just about her achievements but is a testament to resilience and adaptability in the face of societal pressures and personal challenges. Questions of comments?

Was Rome's fall due to heavy metal poisoning making Romans dumber?Ice cores that preserve traces of atmospheric pollutants through history have revealed that industrial activity by Romans – particularly the use and production of lead – meant the air the Romans breathed was heavily contaminated. The levels were high enough to cause neurological problems, including a drop in cognitive function across the population. Joe McConnell and his team at the Desert Research Institute published their findings in the journal PNAS.Bats are surfing storms to make migration easierMigrating bats in Europe have to fly up to 2000km while pregnant, but they've figured out how to get a lift from the weather. The bats have been observed waiting for storm fronts, and then surfing the strong winds in front of the storm to save energy during their migration. Dina Dechmann from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour, and colleagues, were able to tag bats with tiny specialized sensors to track their nocturnal movements during migration. Their paper was published in the journal Science.Squirrels have developed a taste for vole fleshSquirrels in California have been taking advantage of a boom in the population of tiny rodents called voles – by hunting and eating them. This widespread carnivorous behaviour was captured for the first time on videos and photos by a team led by behavioural ecologist Jennifer Smith, as a part of a long-term study of the squirrels. The researchers found dozens of instances of the squirrels killing the voles, which they say changes our fundamental understanding of ground squirrels. Their paper was published in the Journal of Ethology.EEG tattoos could outperform standard electrodes EEG is a valuable technology that allows researchers to monitor the electrical activity of the brain, but standard EEG electrodes are cumbersome and are hampered by the difficulty of attaching them. A new temporary EEG tattoo, made by printing conductive ink on the scalp, could be a step ahead. Luize Vasconcelos, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas at Austin helped create this ink. The research is published in the Cell Press journal Cell Biomaterials.To monitor cat brain waves, researchers made them cute hatsAude Castel, a veterinary neurologist from the Université de Montréal, and her team were  studying chronic pain in cats — and ways to alleviate it — when she realized that she could crochet hats for the cats and add EEG electrodes to them in order to study their brains. Their research was published in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods. When North America went to the dogs (or vice-versa)Researchers examining canid bones from Alaska dating to the last ice age have been intrigued by the complex picture it shows of dog domestication at the time. Their findings were published in the journal Science Advances. Signs of the animals' diet are preserved in the bones, and shows that humans were clearly feeding their dogs, a clear sign of domestication. François Lanoë from the University of Arizona led the work.

Writer, equine ethologist and tamer, Lucy is a Welsh woman who has traveled and worked in various countries searching for the easiest, most universally applicable and most successful ways of dealing with horses. After studying zoology at the University of London, specializing in neurophysiology, neuroanatomy and ethology, she did his postgraduate studies at the University of Sussex, England. Later she had a somewhat atypical horse farm in the mountains of Snowdonia, Wales, where she began to tame the wild horses of that mountain range, gaining fame for her special treatment of horses with problems; she also started writing his first books (novels). She traveled to many countries, especially Ireland, the United States and Portugal, where she amassed extensive experience in different cultures and ways of taming horses, which gave rise to her book The Mind of the Horse , in which she combined experience with studies equine ethology scientists. This book had and still has an enormous influence, as it is the first book that dealt with equine behavior in a scientific way but with a popular character. She starred in two television movies, To Ride a Wild Horse , filmed for HTV in 1984 in which she captured and tamed a wild mustang stallion in the Arizona desert, and Horse Shaman.in 2002, for the television of Catalonia. She regularly writes for different English and Spanish magazines (and not always about horses) and teaches at different universities in both countries. Apart from popularizing knowledge about dressage and dealing with horses through courses, clinics and conferences. Those who see her dealing with horses often refer to her as a whisperer, but Lucy has always been an advocate of the scientific method

Join Kiersten as she dives into the social structure of the raccoon dog.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes: Biology and Conservation of Wild Canids, edited by David W.

(Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. The fourth thing I like about Tanukis is their social structure. Canids have a variety of different social structures, from family packs like wolves, monogamous pairs like coyotes, and solitary lives like foxes. Today we'll take a closer look at the raccoon dog's social activities. Tanuki are, genetically, more closely related to foxes than any other canine, but their social structure is more closely related to coyotes. We are still learning about these understudied animals, but what we know so far shows that tanukis pair off during the breeding season. Once they have paired off, it appears that they may stay together year round. If not closely together in distance they appear to at least share a home range.  Telemetry data shows that tanukis remain in pairs or in small groups within the same home range throughout the year. A home range is a space that an animal can be consistently found that includes hunting grounds, a water source, and a denning site. Non-migratory animals typically remain in their home range for their entire life as long as all resources that they need continue to be offered in that home range. During breeding season a male and a female tanuki pair off and will share a denning site to raise their offspring together. We will delve into reproduction and rearing the young in the next episode.  As stated before, it is unclear whether mated pairs remain together throughout the year but there is evidence that they remain together when they are sleeping or resting. Some populations that live in colder regions will actually hibernate together. Pairs will endure the coldest times of the year in a den with their mate. By the way, tanuki are the only canids that hibernate, that we currently known of, anyways.  As we've discovered in previous episodes, there are differences in behavior based on the location of the tanuki populations. There is no evidence that tanuki live in groups, consistently, in Finland. They will live in pairs with their young offspring, but do not stay together once the young are old enough to survive on their own. Here, the mated pair will stay together in their home range throughout the year.  During the breeding season, in Finland, the mated pairs home ranges never overlap with other mated pairs. Outside of breeding season, some overlap can be seen but only peripherally. The home ranges of mated pairs is pretty stable, fluctuating with the seasons probably due to resource availability, but for the most part they utilize the same space year round. Juveniles that have left their birth home range and have yet to pair off with a mate, have much larger home ranges than mated pairs. This is due to searching for an acceptable home range and a mate of their own. Japanese tanuki also appear to remain in pairs throughout the year, once they have mated. There is evidence that these bonds last for multiple years. Again, they will live with their young until the offspring are ready to head out on their own. Unlike the Finland populations, some Japanese individuals may return to their natal home range, that is where they were born, after they reach maturity.  It is interesting that telemetry research shows tanuki from two different populations live in pairs and small groups for at least a portion of the year, because whenever they are seen by humans they appear to be alone. There are very few reports of seeing raccoons dogs together. I'm not sure what exactly what to think of that, but it's an intriguing mystery. Don't you think, listeners? When I find out that animals are solitary or live in small groups, one of the behaviors that I always want to know about, is communication. All creatures need to communicate with others of their own kind, but how do they do it? Raccoon dogs have several ways to communicate with each other.  Vocalizations are one way that tanuki communicate. They whine, whimper, and mew which are vocalizations that are often associated with friendly greetings or submissive interactions. They can also growl when threatened, but they do not bark.  Body language is important to tanuki as with other canids, but raccoon dogs do not appear to use tail wagging as a form of communication. Most other canines will use tail wagging to communicate various intentions, but as far as we know the tanuki does not. The tanuki does communicate in a unique way. They have social latrines. Yes, I said social latrines. This is a common spot where many tanuki will use the restroom. They urinate and defecate in these social areas, not at the same time, but in the same space. They will sniff the area each time they visit and appear to pick up some information from the piles of excrement. Other canids often use scent marking from urination and defecation to announce their territory boundaries, but tanuki use these latrines to pass information between family members and unrelated tanuki. We need to do much more research on these social latrines to determine what kind of information is passed at these social hubs. Well, that's all for the social behavior of the raccoon dog, we have a lot more to learn, but my fourth favorite thing about this canine is their social structure.  If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.    Join me next week for another fascinating episode about Tanuki.       (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Ethology is the study of animal behavior. As wildlife photographers, what could be more important to our success in the field? Things like autofocus systems and exposure, while important, are the most rudimentary aspects of the craft. The ability to create in-focus photographs that are properly exposed only means you are now able to properly use the equipment in your hand. This doesn't translate into a compelling or beautiful photograph any more than learning how to hold a paintbrush and mix paints allows you to create the next great masterpiece. In this episode of the PhotoWILD podcast, we discuss animal behavior, the importance of educating yourself on the subject, and how understanding our subjects allows us to anticipate their behavior and set our selves up for success in the field. Understanding our subjects, their behavior, their ecology, what makes them tick, and therefore where we can find them and photograph them, is the secret sauce of wildlife photography. To put it simply, if you can't consistently and predictably find and approach wildlife on their terms, then it really doesn't matter how sophisticated your autofocus system is or how expensive your lens was because you are going to have a very difficult time being a wildlife photographer if you can't put yourself in front of wildlife. While the importance of understanding animal behavior cannot be overstated, so to is understanding how our own behavior is being interpreted by animals. Every time we step into the field, forest, tundra, or whatever habitat or ecosystem you wish to substitute into this statement, we are entering into a two way conversation with every sentient creature within eye, ear, or smell (?) shot. This episode discusses all of this and more. And for that reason, it may be one of the most important episodes we have done thus far.   PhotoWILD Magazine The PhotoWILD Podcast is brought to you by PhotoWILD Magazine, where we take the discussion in these episodes much further. If you are serious about your wildlife photography, if you are someone who realizes this is not just a hobby but a way of life, then PhotoWILD Magazine is for you.  photowildmagazine.com   Workshops Would you like to join us in the field?

Attila Korbely was initiated to the Nganasan Ngamtusu'o path, the last Nomadic hunters of the Tundra Desert. His Spirit Grandfather is the famous shaman Demnime Ngamtusu'os who lived with his blind daughter Evdokia Demnimeevna who is ‘visited' by dyamada spirit helpers of deceased relatives, animals and strangers. Lydia Akcenova is the same age as Attila. She is Demnime's direct bloodline granddaughter. Attila is his Spiritual grandson. When Demnime died, he visited Attila at the age of seven. He talks of his visible form becoming a ‘kind of western shaman' but his spirit being from the Tundra. He is a blood relative but also an initiate of the Nganasan spirits. His initiation started from birth, where he had to live without human touch. He studied nature sciences from a very young age.

We're joined by Caroline Alupo, a canine behavioural consultant with 18 years experience and a master's degree in Ethology.  Specialising in PTSD in dogs, Caroline and I discuss how trauma affects dogs just as it does people. How dogs communicate their stress in different contexts and how to help overcome their fears. We chat about how science concurs children are deeply affected in some cases losing their imagination.We talk about diagnostic tools, prognosis and how tore-balance your dog. In the process we discuss how the bond between you and your dog gets stronger through building communication, focus, and trust.Discussing how emotional intelligence is now recognised in dogs, Caroline's study underlines the importance of compassion and understanding that every dog is an individual. We chat about episodic memory and why contexts (similar to in people) can trigger reactions in dogs.   Caroline is also the co-founder of the dog app called Petli. As a new and really useful App, I'm very excited to shout about it, and recommend that everyone takes a look.I know how many of us are intimidated by dog training classes, worry we might be the worst in the room, anticipate reactions from your dog and more. That's part of the reason why Petli is so good - it offers pet parents the chance to train their dogs in their own time, either to practice in-between training classes, or to top up your training in an older dog. The App is skilfully designed to put the fun back into dog training. It takes steps very slowly in precise increments, so your dog learns the cues and you learn to become adept at understanding your own individual dogs limits of concentration, and of course what works best as the reward.

Dr. Marc Bekoff, whose pioneering work with @JaneGoodallCAN has reshaped our understanding of animal well-being and our own health, is this week's featured expert on the Health Science Podcast. In this engaging conversation hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino, Dr. Bekoff explores the profound connection between animals and human health. Delving into the world of cognitive ethology, he sheds light on the thoughts and emotions of animals, challenging the conventional view of them as mere objects. One of the highlights of this episode is the discussion on empathy in animals. Dr. Bekoff's extensive research showcases instances of caring, helping, and sharing among various species, illustrating the depth of emotions and social bonds that exist in the animal kingdom. These insights remind us that empathy isn't solely a human trait but a universal one. The legal battle for animal personhood is another crucial topic explored in this conversation. Dr. Bekoff discusses the efforts to secure legal rights for animals, which have the potential to revolutionize how we treat and protect them, including their confinement in places like zoos. Furthermore, Dr. Bekoff shares his personal journey towards a vegan lifestyle, a transformation that unfolded over two decades. His decision to embrace veganism aligns with his beliefs about animal well-being and sustainability, reflecting the power of personal choices in creating a more compassionate world. This episode is a testament to Dr. Marc Bekoff's dedication to compassionate conservation and his commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of animals. It's an inspiring journey that challenges us to reevaluate our relationship with the animal kingdom. Don't miss this enlightening and thought-provoking episode. Dive into the world of empathy, animal rights, and compassionate living.

Drawing from sources including the ethology of art and the cognitive science of religion, An Ethology of Religion and Art: Belief as Behavior (Routledge, 2020) proposes an improved understanding of both art and religion as behaviors developed in the process of human evolution. Looking at both art and religion as closely related, but not identical, behaviors a more coherent definition of religion can be formed that avoids pitfalls such as the Eurocentric characterization of religion as belief or the dismissal of the category as nothing more than false belief or the product of scholarly invention. The book integrates highly relevant insights from the ethology and anthropology of art, particularly the identification of "the special" by Ellen Dissanayake and art as agency by Alfred Gell, with insights from, among others, Ann Taves, who similarly identified "specialness" as characteristic of religion. It integrates these insights into a useful and accurate understanding and explanation of the relationship of art and religion and of religion as a human behavior. This in turn is used to suggest how art can contribute to the development and maintenance of religions. The innovative combination of art, science, and religion in this book makes it a vital resource for scholars of Religion and the Arts, Aesthetics, Religious Studies, Religion and Science and Religious Anthropology.

Ethology is a noun that refers to the study of animal behavior.  The Greek word ethos (EE thoss) refers to ‘nature' or ‘disposition' and the common suffix O-L-O-G-Y means ‘study of.' When combined, we get a word that refers to the study of the nature of animals. Examples: I have to whistle and scream my brains out to get our bulldog Sparky to come in from the yard at the end of the day. But somehow, my daughter only needs to lift a finger to get him in. One of these days that girl's knowledge of animals is going to make her a fortune in ethology.

Gay Bradshaw, who holds doctorate degrees in ecology and psychology, has been sharing cultures and homes with Animals all her life. For the past twenty-five years, her work has been dedicated to the self-determination and well-being of Wildlife and domesticated Animals. Her diagnosis of Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) among free-living African Elephants sparked a new paradigm of understanding, trans-species psychology. Since 2002, Gay has studied and practiced mindfulness and meditation, and created Nature Mindfulness™  teachings where Animals, Plants and other Earth Beings are active partners in humanity's evolution of consciousness. This work led to the founding of her nonprofit, The Kerulos Center for Nonviolence (www.kerulos.org), a teaching center and sanctuary located in Southern Oregon, U.S.A that translates principles of Nature Consciousness into everyday living. Her books include Pulitzer-prize nominated Elephants on the Edge: What Animals Teach Us About Humanity (Yale University Press, 2009), Carnivore Minds: Who these Fearsome Animals Really Are (Yale University Press 2017), Talking with Bears: Conversations with Charlie Russell (Rocky Mountain Books, 2020), The Elephant Letters: The Story of Billy and Kani (2014), How Landscapes Change (Springer-Verlag), and Minding the Animal Psyche (Spring 2010). Her most recent book, The Evolved Nest: Nature's Way of Raising Children and Creating Connected Communities, written with Darcia Narvaez and with a foreword by Gabor Maté, MD, will be published by North Atlantic Books in 2023. Gay is published in academic and popular media including Nature, American Scientist, Developmental Psychology, Journal of Trauma and Dissociation, Ethology, and Psychology Today and featured in the New York Times, Time Magazine, Forbes, NPR, National Geographic, Smithsonian, Stern, Scandinavian television, The Atlantic, Telegraph, The London Times, ABC's 20/20, several documentary films, and animal protection media such as AAVS, HSUS, and NEAVS, and Best Friends Magazine. www.gabradshaw.com www.kerulos.org Sign up for 10% off of Shrink Rap Radio CE credits at the Zur Institute

If You Stink At Video... Try Cologne?! (Episode 016) What if I told you that you could level up your performance in virtual meetings by wearing cologne or perfume?! This is Dr. Tori. Welcome to another episode of the Influence Every Day podcast. Today I want to talk to you about a study. [Van den Berghe, P. L., & Mace, R. (1987). The influence of fragrance on women's perceptions of men's physical attractiveness and personality. Ethology and Sociobiology, 8(3), 173-186.] In this study, 200 women were asked to rate men on their attractiveness. The men were rated when they were wearing cologne, and they were rated when they were not wearing cologne. And it turns out that they were rated as more attractive while wearing cologne. Here's the thing. Those men were on video. The cologne couldn't even be detected by the women. The men, themselves, were affected by the cologne. Their response to how they felt about themselves made them more attractive. THE most important rule of influence is to MANAGE YOUR STATE. Manage your state. So many things that depend on it your body language, your tone of voice, your pace of speech, how you establish rapport, if you even establish it with somebody, your performance at tasks, your memory, your learning, your recall, the stories available to you, etc All of these are state-dependent. There are lots of things that relate to and make up your state. It's not only mood and emotions. Are you tired? Do you have to use the bathroom? Is there something that is causing some sort of urgency? Like you have to be somewhere, somewhere? Or did you just leave an argument? You're physiologically still revved up from that argument. -----------Want to level-up your performance on video meetings or recordings?Check this out: Video Influence & Remote Rapport----------- 1975 WonderBra commercial. (referred to by my hypnotherapy teacher). “When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you look great.” When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you look great. Pay attention to that last part. “When you feel good, you look great.” That essentially sums up this study. The men were more attractive when they felt better about themselves, and in this case, cologne was the thing that made them feel better about themselves. It reflected in their body language and how they carried themselves. What will it take for you to feel good about yourself? Sometimes it's cologne or perfume. Sometimes it's the type of clothes you wear. Sometimes it's what happened in the hour before the thing, right? Sometimes it's whichever way you manage your state. Too often, though, we're winging it. Check in with yourself. What is my state now and what will it take for me to be in the optimum state for that thing I'm about to do? And in this case, logging in to a video meeting. If you have to put on perfume, put on cologne, do it. Test it out. Here's what I've done: I have created a PDF called 101 Ways to Manage Your State and you can download that at DrTori.com/101. -----------101 Ways To Manage Your State (PDF): https://www.drtori.com/101----------- You can download this PDF and just look at it. There are 101 ways there, but there are thousands more that exist to manage your state. Pick one and try it and see if that helps in your next interaction. Before you walk into that meeting, before you log into that meeting, before you walk into your home, before you greet your kids or your significant other, before you go in and ask a hard question or have a difficult conversation, try one of these things and see how you do. Be deliberate about managing your state, especially for things that are important to you. Go ahead. Download that PDF 101 Ways to Manage Your State (DrTori.com/101). If that one thing doesn't work for you, then try something else. If you've tried meditation and that doesn't work, try something else. If you tried journaling and that doesn't work, try something else. You've tried exercise, you try new things, and if those things aren't for you, try something else. It's tailored to you and it's up to you. Pay attention to your state before you go into things. Your state really matters to how the rest of the interaction goes. It sets the stage, so be deliberate about it Again: DrTori.com/101. I'll see you in the next episode. -----------101 Ways To Manage Your State (PDF): https://www.drtori.com/101-----------This is only the end of today's show if you let it be. Who needs to hear what you just heard? Go ahead and share it with them right now. The Influence Every Day podcast is free.

What role can nutrition and probiotics play in addressing behavior problems? Probably more than you think. Dr. Ragen McGowan, Ph.D. joins Dr. Andy Roark to discuss the link between the gut and the mind, how Purina's new Calming Care supplement has been shown to help dogs and cats, and what expectations veterinarians can have (and set for clients) for working with these products.

She has over 20 years of experience in animal behavior research, the last 13 of which have been with Nestlé Purina using a holistic approach incorporating behavior, physiology and endocrinology to quantify affective states and temperament in dogs and cats. With this knowledge she aims to create products that cater to different behavioral needs of pets and to better understand and quantify the human-animal bond from the pet's perspective. Ragen earned B.S. in Zoology, a B.A. in Foreign Language and Literature and a PhD in Applied Ethology from Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Her PhD research focused on Contrafreeloading behavior, a phenomenon whereby animals choose to work for food even when the same food is freely available, in grizzly bears, laying hens and laboratory mice. In addition, Ragen worked on other projects examining play behavior in piglets and children and means to reduce problem behaviors such as cannibalism in laying hens. Prior to joining Nestlé Purina Ragen held a post-doctoral research position in the Section for Ethology and Animal Welfare at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden. Her post-doctoral research focused on the study of emotionality in dogs. Specifically, she explored new methodology to objectively evaluate positive emotions in animals. This included using Cognitive Bias and Contrast to measure emotional states and studying the ‘Eureka Effect' (emotional reactions to learning) in dogs. She is now bringing this knowledge of animal behavior and emotions into the digital space to better connect owners with their pets. Ragen has a passion for sharing her vast knowledge of pet behavior and the human-animal bond. In addition to speaking at a variety of events for Purina, she serves as a reviewer for several scientific journals and is a contributing scientific expert for scientific congresses, roundtables and podcasts. In addition to her passion for animals, Ragen is also an avid dancer and has been an instructor of ballroom dance for many years. Ragen is based in Saint Joseph, Missouri where she lives with her husband, two children and two giant rescue dogs, Luna and Perry.

In this episode I am joined by Alexis Devine, the woman behind the viral sensation "Bunny the talking dog".   Alexis is the pet parent of Bunny the talking sheepadoodle and Otter the poodle. Inspired by speech-language pathologist Chrisitina Hunger's work with her own dog,  Alexis began training her dog Bunny to speak using an augmentative and alternative communication device ( A.A.C)  otherwise known as sound buttons. When Bunny was about six months old they joined a study with the comparative cognition lab at UC San Diego, which studies whether or not non-humans are able to express themselves in language-like ways .  Much to the delight of millions of followers, Alexis has been documenting her journey with Bunny and Otter on social media all along the way.We talk a little bit about the science behind these buttons,  her journey with Bunny and Otter, and some of the lessons she has learned along the way.Photo Credit For Alexis and Bunny : Lance ReisUseful Links :Official website - https://www.whataboutbunny.comFollow Alexis Devine  on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/whataboutbunny/Follow Alexis Devine on Tik Tok -https://www.tiktok.com/discover/bunny-the-dog?lang=enBunny's favorite talking buttons -https://fluent.pet/?aff=2They Can Talk.Org - http://how.theycantalk.org/c/homehttps://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/index.php/courses/24660https://aggressivedog.comhttps://kimbropheylegscourses.thinkific.com/courses/legs-applied-ethology-family-dog-mediation-professional-course How Stella Learned to Talk by, Christina  Hunger - https://amzn.to/3blejxMFollow The Baroo:https://www.instagram.com/baroopet/https://www.thebaroo.com

His research interests include Evolutionary psychology, Comparative psychology/Ethology, Primatology, Aesthetics, Psychology of religion, and History of psychology. He is the author of 13 scientific books, including The Aesthetic Animal. In this episode, we focus on The Aesthetic Animal. We talk about the aesthetic impulse, and the evolution of art and aesthetic appreciation. We also discuss individual differences in art appreciation. We go through the evolution and social functions of body ornamentation, song, dance, music, and fiction. We talk a bit about the neuroscience of aesthetics, and the role existential uncertainty might play in art production. Finally, we talk about how we can improve human wellbeing by learning more about our “aesthetic impulse”, mostly through architecture. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

For most of history, humans have regarded dogs as animals with specific jobs. But in recent history, these animals have become pets only. Is that to blame for many of the “problems” and “challenges” we face with our dogs? In this episode, Kim Brophey will help us make sense of why the viewing of our dogs as pets may actually be the root of many “problem behaviors”. And of course, Kim will break down what you can do today to help your pup be more successful in a human-centric world! First, let's define applied ethology
