Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Abstract Advancements in the field of reintroduction biology are needed, but understanding of how to effectively conduct translocations, particularly with snakes, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review of snake translocation studies to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. We included studies on intentional, human‐mediated,

Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States
The global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

Background – Recurrent urticaria is common in horses. The pathophysiology is poorly understood and treatment options are limited. Often only glucocorticoids are effective for controlling clinical signs, albeit with potential adverse effects. Studies investigating new treatments need a validated objective scoring system for the grading of skin lesions ...

Effects of captions on viewers’ perceptions of images depicting human−primate interaction
Abstract Promoting human contact with wildlife can be harmful to animal conservation and welfare by exposing animals to unsafe situations and driving demand for wildlife tourism and exotic pets. Conservationists and researchers justifiably use social media to raise awareness, but professionals posting pictures of themselves with animals can have ...

本文以成都动物园饲养的1对灰鹦鹉及其于2003~2009年间产下的19枚卵和孵化出的17只幼年鹦鹉为研究对象,探讨了成年灰鹦鹉在圈养条件下的饲养和繁殖过程,包括巢箱的设计制作、人工孵育流程、人工育雏饲料配方等,并以收集自然育雏条件下雏鸟增重的数据为依据,对人工育雏幼年鹦鹉的饲喂量和饲喂方式进行了探讨。结果表明:给配对的灰鹦鹉提供种类丰富、营养均衡的食物是繁殖的关键;繁殖巢箱是自然孵育的关键;人工孵育是提高灰鹦鹉繁殖率的重要手段;灰鹦鹉的孵化期为28~30 d。
