Ethodivergence (definition):
Forged by Ombre Tarragnat, the concept of Ethodiversity, short for ethological diversity, refers to the intra- and inter-specific variabilities and differences in behavioural or existential styles in (human and nonhuman) animals. Ethodiversity encompasses biological (including traditional ethological) needs, behavioural patterns, existential orientations, affects, as well as inter- and intraspecific relationality. (...) In a posthuman world filled with multispecies relationality, climate change, habitat destruction, intensive animal farming, and cyborg technoscience, our usual ways of being and behaving are troubled. For some nonhuman animals, this can prove particularly challenging, and ethodivergence is never far away. Just like neurodivergence, which is often but not always linked to disability, ethodivergence may enable unique forms of flourishing but can also lead to vulnerability or debilitation.
