This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2015 with a primary purpose of basic research: ethology/animal behaviour.

The following projects were granted:

• causes and consequences of movement and foraging (migration, birds, trade-off, carry-over effect)

• genetics of behaviour and stress response in fish (genetics, stress, evolution, fish, behaviour)

• causes and consequences of corvid intelligence (cognition, evolution, corvid)

• population effects of individual fish life history (fish ecology)

• mechanisms underpinning cooperation (cooperation, assortment, neuroendrocrinology, guppies, evolution)

• early-life adversity and adult cognition in starlings (starlings, early-life adversity, welfare, behaviour, resilience)

• phenotypic programming across the lifespan (ageing, hormones, environmental change, stress, development)

• environment, phenotypic development and performance (development, ageing, telomeres, stress, growth)

• behaviour of predators in conservation landscapes (badgers, foxes, predators, management, conservation)

• kinship and recognition in a social bird (kin selection, cooperation, inbreeding, social evolution)

• fish developmental biology and behaviour (aternal, stress, welfare, nutrition, conservation)

• behaviour and ecology of wild birds (birds, behaviour, ecology, mating, evolution)

• post-parasite dynamics in wild rodent populations (zoonoses, wildlife disease, ecology)

• linkages between invasive plants and salmonids (riparian invasives salmonids)

• behaviour of fish in the natural environment (fish, telemetry, behaviour, dams, engineering)
