: New research suggests we must study animal intelligence at the group level. Species from ants to primates adapt their behavior to collective decision-making processes that are invisible when observing individuals in isolation. 3. Precision Veterinary Science: The 2026 Toolkit
Nevertheless, the benefits are undeniable. A behavior-aware veterinarian can differentiate between a “bad” animal and a sick animal; can reduce occupational risk (bites and scratches); and can improve long-term preventive care.
