Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Mathematical Modeling and Computer Vision in Animal Activity or Behavior: 2nd Edition" of the journal Animals focuses on the application of advanced computational techniques to the study of animal behavior and activity. This Special Issue highlights the use of mathematical modeling and computer vision technologies to understand, monitor, and predict various aspects of animal behavior in a range of species, ranging from domestic animals to wildlife.
The scope of the Special Issue encompasses the development and implementation of algorithms and models that analyze animals’ movements, behavior patterns, and interactions within their environment. It encourages submissions that apply techniques such as machine learning, image processing, and sensor-based systems to capture and interpret behavioral data in an automated and objective manner. These approaches allow for real-time monitoring and detailed analysis that can improve animal welfare, conservation, and management.
This Special Issue requests contributions that explore novel computational methods, interdisciplinary approaches, and case studies demonstrating practical applications in fields such as ethology, ecology, animal husbandry, and veterinary science. By advancing the technological frontiers of behavioral studies, this Special Issue will offer valuable insights into animal biology, improve welfare standards, and optimize productivity in agricultural and conservation settings.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
