The main research concerns discussed in Acta Ethologica are Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Demography and Mating. It concentrates on Ecology topics that focus on Nest, Foraging, Habitat, Seasonal breeder and Mate choice. The journal focuses on Nest research which is adjacent to topics in Brood.
Mate choice and Sexual selection are closely related fields of research discussed in Acta Ethologica. While Zoology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Agonistic behaviour, Aggression and Competition (biology). Predation studies presented include Predator and Vigilance (behavioural ecology).
Courtship research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Courtship display.
The most cited papers aim to foster the development of research in Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Behavioural sciences and Communication. Nest, Habitat, Foraging, Mating and Competition (biology) are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed in the journal papers. The journal articles deal with Predation in conjunction with Fishery and similar fields in Body size and Variation (linguistics).
The concepts of Zoology, Predation, Ecology, Demography and Competition (biology) are tackled in Acta Ethologica. The studies on Zoology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Social relation, Stimulus (physiology) and Panthera. Issues in Predation were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Foraging, Aggression and Trill (music).
The Ecology study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Lateralization of brain function. In addition to Demography research, Acta Ethologica aims to explore topics under Context (language use), Species pool, Courtship and Mate choice, Mating. The overlapping concepts between Interspecific competition and Nest, Kingbird, Tyrannus melancholicus, Kleptoparasitism and Mimicry are the key highlights of Competition (biology) study.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Acta Ethologica (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Acta Ethologica (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 7.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 21.43% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.29% of all publications and 57.14% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For students pursuing Animal Science and Veterinary studies, exploring complementary online degrees can enhance career opportunities. One related field is kinesiology, which focuses on human and animal movement. Those interested can explore an online kinesiology degree to better understand musculoskeletal health in animals and humans alike.
Healthcare pathways that support animal care industries also offer promising options. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) programs with flexible admission policies serve as a practical entry point for many. Searching for lpn programs with easiest admission requirements helps prospective students identify convenient and accessible nursing programs that could complement veterinary-related careers.
Veterans looking to transition into healthcare professions have targeted options. Online programs like a veteran friendly online speech pathology degree offer specialized support and training, which can be advantageous when shifting to therapeutic roles involving animal communication or rehabilitation.
Finally, mental health is a growing concern in both human and animal healthcare fields. Programs such as the best online pmhnp programs focus on psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner education, expanding career pathways that integrate animal-assisted therapy and psychological well-being.
