DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23368
Abstract: The impact of anthropogenic pressures upon primates is increasingly prevalent, and yet the phenotypic aspects of these impacts remain understudied. Captive environments can pose unique pressures based on factors like physical activity levels and caloric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23500
Abstract: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are hormones released in response to stressors and can provide insight into an organism's physiological well-being. Experiencing chronic challenges to homeostasis is associated with significant deviations from baseline fecal GCs (fGCs) in many… read more here.

Host sex, size, and hemoparasite infection influence the effects of ectoparasitic burdens on free‐ranging iguanas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4887
Abstract: Abstract Investigations focusing on host–ectoparasite interactions in animals have revealed asymptomatic to severe health and fitness consequences suggesting that species mobilize different interspecific response mechanisms. Fewer studies, however, have examined intraspecific responses to ectoparasitic burdens.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9992
Abstract: Abstract Long recognized as a threat to wildlife, particularly for large carnivores, livestock grazing in protected areas can potentially undermine conservation objectives. The interspecific interactions among livestock, snow leopards (Panthera uncia), and their wild prey… read more here.

A Preliminary Comparison on Faecal Microbiomes of Free-Ranging Large Baleen (Balaenoptera musculus, B. physalus, B. borealis) and Toothed (Physeter macrocephalus) Whales.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-021-01729-4
Abstract: Large baleen and toothed whales play crucial ecological roles in oceans; nonetheless, very little is known about their intestinal microbiomes. Based on striking differences in natural history and thus in feeding behaviours, it can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10329-019-00748-7
Abstract: Fur rubbing or anointing is a well known behavior in capuchin monkeys (Cebus and Sapajus), and may have medicinal and/or social functions. Observations of anointing in capuchins have recorded the application of substances derived from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10592-019-01143-x
Abstract: Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) are a textbook example of how habitat loss, human-wildlife conflicts and historic bottlenecks depleted genetic variability, both genome-wide and at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which plays an integral role in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10592-020-01278-2
Abstract: Conservation breeding programs, such as fenced reserves, conserve species by removing populations from key threatening processes and providing supplementary resources to support species preservation. This form of management often has the eventual aim to reintroduce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42991-020-00006-0
Abstract: Wild mammals in ex situ captivity experience substantially different environmental conditions compared to free-ranging conspecifics, e.g., in terms of diet, climatic conditions, social factors, movement space, and direct anthropogenic disturbance. Moreover, animals in captivity frequently… read more here.
