Animal habitats are changing around the world in many ways, presenting challenges to the survival of species. Zoo animal populations are also challenged by small population sizes and limited genetic diversity. Some ex situ populations are m...
Variable digestibility of captive northern greater galagos (Otolemur garnettii) fed experimental "frugivorous" and "invertebrate" diets [0.03%]

James E Loudon,B Katherine Smith,Sydnie Bianchi et al.
James E Loudon et al.
Few studies have addressed the nutritional ecology of galagos. Observations of galagos in the wild reveal that they rely on fruits and invertebrates to varying degrees depending on their availability. We conducted a 6-week comparative dieta...
Territorial vocalization patterns of captive Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica) in the middle of winter at high latitude [0.03%]

Movements of four adult giant trevally Caranx ignobilis were tracked using passive acoustic telemetry after being released from uShaka Sea World Aquarium in Durban, South Africa, where they had been kept on display for a period of 8 years. ...
A perspective on ungulate management and welfare assessment across the traditional zoo to large landscape spectrum [0.03%]
从传统动物园到大型景观范围内的大型哺乳动物管理及福利评估的观点
David M Powell,Dan Beetem,RoxAnna Breitigan et al.
David M Powell et al.
Wild ungulates are managed in human care in a range of settings from traditional zoos to large ranches. These varied settings present different portfolios of risks for good or poor welfare, which leads some to question whether a particular ...
Food-related substrate preference in juveniles seastar Echinaster (Othilia) brasiliensis (Müller & Troschel,1842) in captivity [0.03%]
与食物相关的栖息地偏好：巴西海星（Echinaster brasiliensis）的饲养实验研究

Bruna L Maganhe et al.
There are only a few studies that describe the larval development of Echinaster or aspects on culture systems for the genus. For starfishes, the choice of suitable substrates has received special attention since it could influence the acid-...
Factors affecting captive female giraffe stress response: Male presence, small enclosure, and low temperature [0.03%]

Miho Saito et al.
To improve animal welfare based on suitable social housing conditions, it is important to understand the factors that trigger high-stress responses. Wild giraffes live in a fission-fusion society and males and females are rarely in the same...
Wild origins and mitochondrial genetic diversity of Angolan Colobus monkeys (Colobus angolensis) in AZA-accredited zoos and its implications for ex situ population management [0.03%]
关于动物园中的安哥拉黑猩猴（Colobus angolensis）的野外来源及其线粒体遗传多样性的研究及其对境外保护种群管理的意义
Monica M McDonald,Pamela M K Cunneyworth,Aaron G Anderson et al.
Monica M McDonald et al.
Across zoo's accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), species are typically managed as a single population to retain 90% of the founding members' gene diversity. Often, little is known about the specific geographic origins...

Zookeepers working with felids were asked to complete an online survey to examine their perceptions of animal welfare. A total of 121 zookeepers in an AZA-accredited zoo completed the survey. Results from this study suggest that institution...
Residual tissue magnesium concentration in jellyfish (Aurelia aurita and Cassiopea andromeda) following magnesium chloride euthanasia [0.03%]
氯化镁安乐死后的水母(月水母和倒立水母)残余组织中的镁浓度
Zachary Millar,Dimo Kecheliev,Sophie Wolvin et al.
Zachary Millar et al.
Magnesium chloride in high concentration is used for euthanasia of jellyfish to limit overpopulation and for predatory species consumption, but its use could lead to magnesium bioaccumulation and subsequent negative effects in consumers. Tw...
