Over the past several decades, facultative parthenogenesis (FP)-the ability of a sexually reproducing species to reproduce asexually-in vertebrates has been removed from the realm of obscurity and placed firmly in a position where it warran...
A Portable Fluid Administration System for Prolonged Intravenous Fluid Administration in Subadult and Adult White Rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum) [0.03%]
一种便携式液体输注系统用于长时段静脉补液治疗亚成体和成年白犀(Ceratotherium simum)

Marion Leiberich et al.
While translocations of white rhinoceroses have become an important conservation tool, dehydration during long-distance transports has been identified as a welfare concern. Intravenous (iv) fluid administration might therefore be useful to ...
Notes on the Courtship and Captive Reproduction of the Southern Vietnam Box Turtle, Cuora picturata, at the Turtle Conservation Center in Cuc Phuong National Park, Vietnam [0.03%]

Lauren Augustine et al.
Endemic to only three known provinces in South Central Vietnam, Cuora picturata have faced extensive collection pressures for the food, medicinal, and pet trades. Further exacerbating their decline is the lack of protected areas where wild ...

Maintaining a diverse gene pool is important in the captive management of zoo populations, especially in endangered species such as the pink pigeon (Nesoenas mayeri). However, due to the limited number of breeding individuals and relaxed na...
Facultative parthenogenesis discovered for the first time in Jamaican boa (Chilabothrus subflavus) using novel microsatellite markers [0.03%]
利用新型微卫星标记首次发现牙买加boa(chilabothrus subflavus)的 facultative parthenogenesis现象
Carolyn A Bailey,Alison L Righton,Andy Reeves et al.
Carolyn A Bailey et al.
The mode of reproduction most often seen in snakes is sexual, but studies have noted facultative parthenogenesis in at least six families. Here, we provide evidence for the first observed case of facultative parthenogenesis in a captive Jam...

Zoos are often limited by exhibit design in the opportunities they can provide animals to express natural behaviors; however, the opportunity to perform certain natural behaviors is key to supporting good animal welfare. Traditionally, in z...
Evidence for seasonal shift in the reproduction of Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) in managed care in the Northern hemisphere compared to the natural habitat in the Southern hemisphere [0.03%]
与南方自然栖息地相比北方受管养的塞舌尔巨型陆龟( Aldabrachelys gigantea )繁殖的季节性变化证据
