Overview

Grahame J Coleman is affiliated with the University of Melbourne in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on veterinary science and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant contributions in the overlapping subfields of small animals, genetics, ecology, social psychology, and animal science and zoology.

The main topics addressed by Coleman's research encompass animal behavior and welfare studies, human-animal interaction studies, animal and plant science education, agriculture sustainability and environmental impact, psychology of moral and emotional judgment, effects of environmental stressors on livestock, and behavioral health and interventions.

Coleman's recent publications include:

  • Costs and Benefits of Improving Farm Animal Welfare (2021, Agriculture)
  • The Animal-Human Interface in Farm Animal Production: Animal Fear, Stress, Reproduction and Welfare (2022, Animals)
  • Human Behaviour Change Interventions in Animal Care and Interactive Settings: A Review and Framework for Design and Evaluation (2020, Animals)
  • The Impact of a Negative Media Event on Public Attitudes Towards Animal Welfare in the Red Meat Industry (2020, Animals)
  • Effect of Covering a Visitor Viewing Area Window on the Behaviour of Zoo-Housed Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) (2020, Animals)

The frequent venues for their publication record include Animals, Frontiers in Psychology, Applied Animal Behaviour Science, PLoS ONE, and PsycTESTS Dataset.

Collaboration is a notable feature in Coleman's career, with frequent coauthors including P.H. Hemsworth, Lauren M. Hemsworth, Carmen Glanville, Carolina Munoz, and M. Rice. These collaborative efforts have contributed to an extensive body of work within animal welfare and behavioral sciences.
