All animal procedures described here must be conducted in accordance with institutional animal ethics guidelines and approved by IACUC. All procedures must follow the principles of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and must be performed by trained personnel. Monitoring Animals for Signs of Pain and Distress Recognizing early signs of pain is essential for ethical animal research. Animals are routinely monitored using behavioral, physical, and physiological parameters that reflect...

2017
A detailed protocol for an experimental paradigm to assess the effectiveness with which children regulate emotion is described. Children are randomly assigned to use specific emotion regulation strategies, negative emotions are elicited with film clips, and changes in subsequent psychophysiology index the extent to which emotion regulation is effective.

New Variations for Strategy Set-shifting in the Rat

Set-shifting, a form of behavioral flexibility, requires an attentional shift from one stimulus dimension to another. We extended an established rodent set-shifting task1 by requiring attention to different stimuli according to context. The task was combined with specific lesions to identify neuron subtypes underlying a successful shift.

All animal procedures described here must be conducted in accordance with institutional animal ethics guidelines and approved by IACUC. All procedures must follow the principles of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and must be performed by trained personnel. Breeding management supports the 3Rs by minimizing unnecessary animal production and ensuring that only the number of animals required for a study is generated. Effective breeding strategies help reduce surplus animals and...

The dry-land Barnes maze is widely used to measure spatial navigation ability in response to mildly aversive stimuli. Over consecutive days, performance (e.g. latency to locate escape cage) of control subjects improves, indicative of normal learning and memory. Differences between rats and mice necessitate apparatus and methodology changes that are detailed here.
FAQs
Changing conditions require biological plans to remain responsive rather than relying on one fixed decision. Initial assessments establish the system’s status and help identify suitable interventions, while later observations reveal whether conditions or outcomes have shifted. This flexibility allows actions to be revised as new evidence emerges, supporting defined goals under uncertain or evolving ecological circumstances.
Monitoring provides the evidence needed to judge whether an intervention is producing the intended outcome. Adaptive revision then uses those observations to modify the plan when results, biological conditions, or resource needs change. Together, these processes create a feedback cycle that connects action with evaluation and helps maintain progress toward conservation, ecosystem, disease-control, or sustainability goals.
Targeted intervention focuses action on the biological conditions or resources most relevant to the stated goal. This links the chosen response to information gathered during assessment instead of treating every part of a system identically. In practice, targeted actions can help decision-makers balance ecological function, human needs, and long-term resilience while evaluating whether the intervention is effective.
A practical sequence begins by defining the desired biological or resource outcome and assessing current conditions. Decision-makers then select interventions that address the assessment, implement them, and monitor resulting changes. The evidence collected during monitoring supports adaptive revision, allowing the strategy to be continued, modified, or redirected as conditions and outcomes develop.
Biological management strategies support biodiversity conservation, ecosystem management, disease control, and the sustainable use of living resources. Although these settings differ, each requires decisions grounded in biological evidence and connected to an explicit goal. The approach is useful when actions must account for both ecological function and human needs over time.
These strategies help evaluate whether interventions are moving a biological system or resource toward its defined goal. Monitoring can reveal changes relevant to biodiversity, ecosystem condition, disease control, or sustainable use, while adaptive revision responds to that evidence. The broader outcome is a more informed balance among ecological function, human needs, and long-term resilience.
