This paper examines the context of science scholarship and research careers experienced by behavioural biologists from under-represented minority (URM) groups during the period starting in the late 1800s until the early decades of the Animal Behavior Society (ABS). For much of history, white European and American men have dominated the seats of scientific leadership, shaping narratives and controlling who asks scientific questions, how these questions are examined and what is significant. Yet, individuals from URM groups have navigated careers in animal behaviour and related fields, and along with some nonminority allied scientists, have often simultaneously advocated for diversity and inclusion among our ranks. The lasting impact of these scholar activists has been important not only to the discipline, but to science as a whole. This paper shines lights on missing narratives of URMs who were often excluded in academic histories, as well as emphasizing the importance of creating more inclusive spaces for future animal behaviour scholars. I highlight the contributions of American scientists in the U.S.A. who have contributed to the development of animal behaviour and related disciplines and have raised awareness about social justice and inclusivity in our field.

动物行为和 ABS 中的多样性和包容性行动主义：来自美国的历史观点

本文考察了从 1800 年代后期开始到动物行为协会 (ABS) 成立的最初几十年期间，代表性不足的少数民族 (URM) 群体的行为生物学家所经历的科学奖学金和研究职业的背景。在历史的大部分时间里，欧洲和美国的白人男性主导着科学领导的席位，塑造叙事并控制谁提出科学问题、如何审查这些问题以及什么是重要的。然而，来自 URM 团体的个人在动物行为和相关领域的职业生涯中取得了成功，并且与一些非少数民族联盟科学家一起，经常同时倡导我们队伍中的多样性和包容性。这些学者活动家的持久影响不仅对学科很重要，而且对整个科学也很重要。这篇论文揭示了在学术史上经常被排除在外的 URM 的缺失叙述，并强调了为未来的动物行为学者创造更具包容性的空间的重要性。我要强调美国科学家的贡献，他们为动物行为和相关学科的发展做出了贡献，并提高了我们领域对社会正义和包容性的认识。
