The endemic New Zealand kakapo is classified as 'critically endangered' and, in an effort to prevent extinction and restore the kakapo population, intensive handling of rare kakapo chicks is often utilised to reduce mortality and improve he...
Cognitive enrichment for bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus): evaluation of a novel underwater maze device [0.03%]

We examined the potential influences of existing social housing arrangements on captive sun bear female reproductive cycling. Three social conditions were studied: 1.2, 1.1, and 0.2. Fecal hormone metabolites of total estrogens, progestins ...
Characterization of hatch-size and growth rates of captive and wild-reared brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) chicks [0.03%]
关于人工繁殖和野外饲养的棕色几维鸟(Apteryx mantelli)雏鸟成长速度及破壳大小的表征研究
Erica A Prier,Brett D Gartrell,Murray A Potter et al.
Erica A Prier et al.
Avian growth rate patterns represent a trade off between a tissue's functional maturity and its capacity for growth. At the time of hatch, the brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) limb has a high level of maturity in order for the chick to be able...
