Challenges for the veterinary profession: A grounded theory study of veterinarians' experiences of caring for older horses. [PDF]
Abstract Background In Great Britain, owners are keeping their horses into increasingly older age, reflecting societal changes in human–animal relationships. The uptake of routine veterinary services is reported to reduce as horses age. Horse owners seek information regarding their animal's health from alternative sources before and/or following ...

Creating constellations of coexistence through connections between people in human-wildlife conflict areas. [PDF]
Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) is a critical challenge to human development and well‐being and threatens biodiversity conservation. Ideally, HWC mitigation should benefit both wildlife and communities and limit the costs associated with living alongside wildlife.

Evaluation of canine epidermis and keratinocytoids (keratinocytic organoids) by transmission electron microscopy. [PDF]
Background – Skin disease is a common complaint in veterinary medicine. Current models often use live animals. Epidermal organoids (keratinocytoids) are 3D miniature organs created in culture from single epidermal keratinocytes. These keratinocytoids can be used as an alternative to live animal studies to investigate epidermal structures and skin ...

Effects of organized guarding on mortality from human-elephant conflict in northeast India. [PDF]
Abstract Human–elephant conflict (HEC) frequently results in human and elephant mortality, posing major social justice and conservation concerns across Asia and Africa. Although a variety of interventions have been introduced to mitigate HEC, rigorous evaluations of how they affect mortality are practically nonexistent.

Detection of canine external ear canal lesions using artificial intelligence. [PDF]
Background – Early and accurate diagnosis of otitis externa is crucial for correct management yet often can be challenging. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a valuable diagnostic tool in human medicine. Currently, no such tool is available in veterinary dermatology/otology.

Abstract Wildlife reintroductions are socioecological processes entailing the intentional movement of organisms by people. In animal reintroductions, there is growing recognition of the importance of human dimensions and efforts to integrate these into reintroduction projects. To conceptually reframe reintroductions as processes of renewed coexistence (

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Weaving knowledges to support wildlife health surveillance in Kenya's pastoral rangelands
Abstract In wildlife–livestock–human interfaces, pathogens capable of spreading between wild and domestic animals and humans have important implications for conservation outcomes, economics, and public health. Robust wildlife health surveillance can help address these risks.

Mating system, brood parasitism and extra-pair behaviour in the Chinese egret (Egretta eulophotes) basing on the microsatellite technology [PDF]
动物的婚配制度影响着个体的繁殖成功率,直接关系到群体的遗传多样性和种群动态的发展变化,是保护遗传学和生态学领域中非常重要的研究内容。已有学者野外观察到黄嘴白鹭(Egrettaeulophotes)存在婚外交配(EPC)行为,然而,有关黄嘴白鹭的婚配制度、EPC的产生机制以及其是否会导致婚外父权(EPP)现象还未清楚。此外,许多集群繁殖的鸟类都存在种内巢寄生(CBP)现象,而关于黄嘴白鹭巢寄生行为的研究也尚未开展。因此,本研究围绕黄嘴白鹭的婚配制度问题,主要开展以下几方面研究: (1)对3种非损伤性样品 ...
