What can anticipatory behaviour tell us?

Published: 11 November 2016

Claes Anderson, SLU, successfully defended his doctoral thesis “Investigating anticipatory behaviours in lambs” on November 11, 2016. This project investigated how lambs expressed anticipation for different future events, and whether or not it is possible to distinguish suggested positive emotions from more negative emotions with regards to anticipatory behaviours. The main supervisor was Prof. Lena Lidfors, SLU, and opponent Prof. Ruth Newberry from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.
