The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) is an academic society
What we do
We own Animal Behaviour, the leading international scientific journal in its field.
We promote the study of animal behaviour by holding conferences and funding research.
We care about animals and our Ethical Committee promotes the ethical treatment and conservation of animals.
We encourage the teaching of animal behaviour in schools through our Education Committee.
