All articles in Animals (ISSN 2076-2615) Vol 15, Issue 17, are now freely available to access, read and download: https://brnw.ch/21wWnS3

COVER STORY: Wildlife rescue centres house diverse species, complicating maintenance of consistent welfare standards. The white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons) was used as a model, yielding two welfare assessment protocols: a daily monitoring checklist and comprehensive audit tool.

The Delphi technique was applied by a group of international researchers in a panel of 23 experts to identify and evaluate welfare indicators, with 28 chosen for the extended protocol and 10 for daily application, showing content validity, reliability and practicability.

Resource- and management-based indicators—food provision, enrichment and habitat dimensions—helped identify underlying causes/risks, but the highest ranked were animal-based, including signs of pain and affiliative/abnormal behaviours. These tools underscore the need to integrate welfare assessment into conservation–rehabilitation efforts.

Does sound therapy really work? A feature paper published in the Open Access European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education explores the relaxing effects of Tibetan singing bowl sounds – a complementary intervention with ancient Himalayan ritual roots for treatment of anxiety.

The study, cited by Popular Science, presents results of a randomized controlled trial of 50 participants with non-clinically diagnosed anxiety. They found that the group that experienced Tibetan singing bowl sounds showed a significant reduction in heart rate variability as well as self-reported reductions in anxiety.

The study shows that a session of Tibetan singing bowl sound therapy may be beneficial to reduce psychological and physiological symptoms of anxiety.
