Fonoteca Zoológica is the animal sound library of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid (Spain). Our library provides support to research on animal sounds and acts as a depository of animal recordings for scientific research. If you want to know if we have recordings of a particular species, you may search our two databases: 1) Published recordings and 2) FZ sound collection. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project is a tool for tracking the movements of marine animals along the west coast of North America, using acoustic transmitters implanted in a variety of species, and a series of receivers running in lines across the continental shelf. POST was one of seventeen projects of the Census of Marine Life, a 10-year international effort to assess the global distribution, diversity and abundance of life in the oceans - past, present and future. The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project's mission is to further understanding of the behaviour of marine animals through the operation of a large-scale ocean telemetry and data management system. POST serves as an accessible research tool for academe, resource agencies and the public. Long-term monitoring of marine animals will contribute to the conservation and stewardship of marine resources. ... [Information of the supplier]
Perhaps you have shared our frustration of sifting through your sound collection without ever finding the bird you recorded. Although an enormous amount of recordings are available on tape or even CDROM, they usually do not allow you to set up a sensible search strategy, in other words they are not true guides. This is odd, because of the great importance of songs in clinching ID's and in locating species in forests. The classification of birds in field guides is based on shared characteristics and usually leads to a reasonably fast convergence to a species, or genus, even in the tropics. For plants, elaborate decision trees exist that lead you to a certain species(group). For some areas such as Europe completely different decision trees even exist, allowing several independent lines of attack. The idea here is to do something similar for bird sounds. A set of simple characteristics has been chosen: the only instrument needed to determine them is a (stop)watch. More sophisticated and interesting ways of characterising and comparing the sounds exist, and we are planning to develop those here as time progresses, hopefully with your help. What these characteristics will do is limit the number of choices that you have, and more importantly bring together sounds that somehow sound similar, regardless of whether the species producing them are related or not. ...

HBES is a society for all those studying the evolution of human behavior. Scientific perspectives range from evolutionary psychology to evolutionary anthropology and cultural evolution; and the membership includes researchers from a range of disciplines in the social and biological sciences. Our membership is worldwide. The two main activities of HBES are holding an annual conference and running a journal called Evolution and Human Behavior (EHB). The conference provides a forum to present and learn about current research in the field, and includes invited plenary talks from leading scientists in the field. Members of HBES receive a free subscription to EHB, a discount on the journal Human Nature, reduced registration at the annual HBES conference, and a biannual newsletter. Members are also eligible to apply for funds to host meetings on topics relevant to the goals and mission of HBES. ... [Information of the supplier]
The purpose of the International Council of Ethologists – ICE is entirely scientific and educational. The goal of ICE is to organize international conferences, to promote and encourage the study of animal behaviour in the broadest sense and to promote closer contact among behavioural scientists. (...) The ICE website is intended to promote more interactions among researchers, students and animal behaviourists across the globe by providing up-to-date information and encouraging discussion among scientists. ...

ASAB was founded in 1936 to promote the study of animal behaviour. There are now approximately 2000 members. Many members are professional biologists who work in universities, research institutes or schools. ASAB: a) Owns Animal Behaviour, the leading international scientific journal in its field; b) Promotes the study of animal behaviour by holding conferences; c) Actively supports research into animal behaviour by offering members research and travel grants, sponsoring workshops and offering vacation scholarships for undergraduates; d) Provides members with regular electronic updates about Society activities; e) Cares about animals - it has an Ethical Committee to promote the ethical treatment and conservation of the animals we study; f) Encourages the teaching of animal behaviour in schools - it has an Education Committee, publishes a regular Newsletter for teachers, organizes workshops and produces educational videos, books and practicals; g) Has close links with the American Animal Behavior Society and h) also convenes a joint coordinating committee of European animal behaviour societies. ...

2014 ICN / JSCPB is a joint meeting of the 11th International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) and the 36th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (JSCPB). The conference will be held at the Sapporo Convention Center, Sapporo, Japan, July 28th through August 1st, and is co-organized by the International Society for Neuroethology (ISN), the Japanese Association of Neuroethologists (JAN) and the Science Council of Japan (SCJ). The conference attracts scientists and students engaging in neuroethology – the study of neural mechanisms of animal behavior – working in a broad range of disciplines, including neurophysiology/neuroanatomy, molecular biology/genetics, cognitive psychology, computational neuroscience, and robotics. Neuronal mechanisms of any species – invertebrate or vertebrate, including humans – will be subjects of discussion. ... [Information of the supplier]

Established in 1986, the International Society for Behavioral Ecology (ISBE) is a Learned Society run by members of the behavioural ecology research community. It exists to promote the discipline of behavioural ecology, to provide researchers in behavioral ecology with a forum to present and publish their work, exchange views, and get to know each other. The core objectives are achieved through the publication of the society journal Behavioral Ecology and the organization of an international conference every two years. The ISBE endeavors to be open and non-discriminatory in all its activities. This includes an ‘author blind’ reviewing system for papers in the journal and in the selection of talks for the society meetings. ... [Information of the supplier]
