Animal Behavior and Ecophysiology Studies

Equipment and sensors to support behaviour and non-consumptive ecophysiological studies on large rodents and birds

  • Harness Housings for Sensor Placement on Large Birds
  • Photo Interrupter Sensors for Large Rodents
  • Operant Boxes such as "RoBucket" (Open Source)

Central to many behavioural and ecological studies is the need to record the movements andperformance of animals. The challenge of making such measurements is particularly the availability of specialised research equipment. In close collaboration with the end-users, Vienna Scientific Instruments develops versatile solutions for research and monitoring programs.

Currently we offer the following products related to behavioural and ecophysiological studies on rodents and birds:

Count us out! Vienna Scientific Instruments does not develop, build or supply equipment which will be used in consumptive experimentation on vertebrates and does not provide equipment such as electrical stimuli (shockers) or "classical" Skinner boxes!
