Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "American journal of primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23524
Abstract: Body condition scoring (BCS) assessment can reflect animal welfare status and help the veterinarian to make a quick health management decision, including for confiscated slow loris (Nycticebus spp.). The confiscated slow loris should be rehabilitated… read more here.

Can evolutionary theories of dispersal and senescence predict postrelease survival, dispersal, and body condition of a reintroduced threatened mammal?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7115
Abstract: Abstract Theories of dispersal and senescence (or aging) predict that dispersal, and ongoing survival and body condition, are influenced by evolutionary drivers, along with intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Such theories are relevant to translocations of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8062
Abstract: Abstract Urban development can fragment and degrade remnant habitat. Such habitat alterations can have profound impacts on wildlife, including effects on population density, parasite infection status, parasite prevalence, and body condition. We investigated the influence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8442
Abstract: Abstract We assessed the hypothesized negative correlation between the influence of multiple predators and body condition and fecundity of the European hare, from 13 areas in the Netherlands. Year‐round abundance of predators was estimated by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5446
Abstract: Triazole compounds are among the most widely used fungicides in agroecosystems to protect crops from potential fungal diseases. Triazoles are suspected to have an impact on nontarget species due to their interactions with nonfungal sterol… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jat.3663
Abstract: Chemical, physical and biological environmental stressors may affect the endocrine system, such as the thyroid hormone (TH) axis in larval amphibians with consequences for energy partitioning among development, growth and metabolism. We studied the effects… read more here.

Locally abundant, endangered Mariana swiftlets impact the abundance, behavior, and body condition of an invasive predator

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04876-0
Abstract: Invasive predators are known to have negative consumptive and non-consumptive effects on native species, but few examples show how the abundance of native prey may influence an established invasive predator. We compared invasive brown treesnakes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-017-0657-2
Abstract: Food-chain changes in urban and industrial sites may limit breeding-time resources (e.g. food availability) for small insectivorous passerines. We used a long-term data set of pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca), collected from one of the most… read more here.

Foraging in the tropics: relationships among species’ abundances, niche asymmetries and body condition in an urban avian assemblage
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Urban Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s11252-017-0682-1
Abstract: Two main theories attempt to explain species coexistence: the neutral theory considers all the species as equivalents so biodiversity is mainly regarded as a function of total available resources (i.e. niche expansion), while the niche… read more here.

The body condition of invasive crayfish Faxonius limosus (Raf., 1817) (Decapoda: Cambaridae) is better in small rivers than in dam reservoirs in Central Europe

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-19678-x
Abstract: The impact of dam reservoirs on river ecosystems is one of the current major issues in hydrobiology. In addition to the impact on native biodiversity, impoundments may facilitate biological invasions. A successful invasion is presumably… read more here.
