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.

Electrocutions in Free‐Ranging Platyrrhine Nonhuman Primates: Diagnostic Features for a Threatening Condition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.70039
Abstract: Electrical accidents pose a considerable threat to wildlife in anthropized regions, particularly arboreal mammals, as evidenced by cases of electrocutions in nonhuman primates (NHPs). This study characterized the frequency, anatomic distribution, and pathological features of… read more here.

Selection of parameters to assess the welfare of free‐ranging Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins using expert opinion survey
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4091
Abstract: Animal welfare assessments have recently been suggested to be useful for free‐ranging animals. Nevertheless, few standardized welfare assessment frameworks have been built for wildlife, including cetaceans. Coastal cetaceans like Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis, IPHDs)… read more here.

The First Standardized Scoring System to Assess the Welfare of Free‐Ranging Indo‐Pacific Humpback Dolphins (Sousa chinensis)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70004
Abstract: The assessment of wild animal welfare has recently gained interest and represents a novel, complementary approach to monitoring free‐ranging populations for conservation purposes. However, few attempts have been made to develop standardized welfare assessment tools… 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.

Free‐ranging cattle and the return of the wolf: behavioral responses and implications for conservation management

DOI: 10.1002/wlb3.01237
Abstract: Over the last decades, wolves have considerably expanded their distribution in Europe. Their range expansion even led to recolonizing densely human‐populated countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands. The few available studies on the effects… read more here.

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/s00265-024-03547-3
Abstract: Scent marks play a crucial role in both territorial and sexual communication in many species. We investigated how free-ranging dogs respond to scent marks from individuals of different identities in terms of sex and group,… read more here.
