Fidji Berio et al.
The spotted ratfish Hydrolagus colliei is the most common holocephalan species exhibited in aquaria worldwide for introducing deep-sea environments and raising awareness of their conservation. However, little is known about the biology of H...
Visitor engagement with zoo staff and interpretive demonstrations increases visitor stay time in two free-flight aviaries [0.03%]
游客与动物园工作人员的互动及解说演示增加游客在两个自由飞行鸟舍的停留时间

Understanding how visitors spend time in zoo exhibits is important as zoological facilities work to enhance visitor experience and conservation education outcomes. We explored a variety of factors we hypothesized would influence visitor sta...
Quantifying animals' perception of environmental predictability using anticipatory behavior [0.03%]
利用预测性行为量化动物对环境可预测性的感知

Aleksei A Podturkin
Animals under human care often experience predictable daily husbandry events, which can promote the development of anticipatory behavior. Previous research suggests even short delays in the arrival of a predictable, desired outcome can lead...
Assessing the impact of environmental enrichment on behavior in understudied armadillo species: A case study [0.03%]
环境丰富度对未受关注的负鼠类物种行为的影响评估：案例研究

The implementation of environmental enrichment (EE) can be effective in promoting zoo animal welfare by enhancing the performance of natural or species-typical behaviors. Research on the effects of EE is biased towards larger mammalian spec...
Never be mute about bird welfare: Swanning around with environmental enrichment [0.03%]
永远别对鸟类福利问题闭口不谈——浅析环境丰富化措施的重要性

Environmental enrichment (EE) is commonly provided to animals managed under human care, being beneficial to behavioral diversity and improving animal welfare. Use of EE appears to be particularly beneficial to individual wild animals spendi...
An evaluation of DNA sample source and molecular markers to determine gender in the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) [0.03%]
用于短鼻针鼹(Tachyglossus aculeatus)性别鉴定的DNA样品来源及分子标记的评估研究
Lyndal Hulse,Caitlin Tomsett,Alice Roser et al.
Lyndal Hulse et al.
The short-beaked echidna is sexually monomorphic such that gender identification without veterinary intervention is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the most optimal noninvasive genetic source by extracting ech...
Effect of four eggshell repair materials on weight loss during incubation of white leghorn chicken eggs [0.03%]
四种蛋壳修复材料对白来航鸡蛋孵化过程中重量损失的影响
