Zoos focus on welfare, conservation, education, and research related to animals they keep. Academic institutions emphasize description, experimentation, modeling, and teaching of general and specific animal biology and behavior through work in both laboratory and field. The considerable overlap in concerns and methods has increased interest in collaborative projects, but there is ample room for closer and more extensive interactions. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of potential research collaborations in three areas: (1) control and analysis of behavior, (2) conservation and propagation of species, and (3) education of students and the general public. In each area, we outline (a) research in zoos, (b) research in academics, and (c) potential collaborative efforts. Zoo Biol 27:470-487, 2008. (c) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
动物园专注于其所饲养动物的福利、保护、教育及相关研究。学术机构通过在实验室和野外的工作，着重于对一般及特定动物生物学和行为的描述、实验、建模及教学。在关注点和方法上的大量重叠，增加了人们对合作项目的兴趣，但仍有很大空间进行更紧密、更广泛的互动。本文旨在提高人们对三个领域潜在研究合作的认识：（1）行为的控制与分析；（2）物种的保护与繁殖；（3）学生及公众教育。在每个领域，我们概述了（a）动物园的研究；（b）学术界的研究；以及（c）潜在的合作努力。《动物园生物学》27:470 - 487，2008年。（c）2008年威利 - 利斯公司。
