Bibliometric investigation of the integration of animal personality in conservation contexts
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 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,

Importance of health assessments for conservation in noncaptive wildlife
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Wildlife health assessments help identify populations at risk of starvation, disease, and decline from anthropogenic impacts on natural habitats. We conducted an overview of available health assessment studies in noncaptive vertebrates and devised a framework to strategically integrate health assessments in population monitoring.

Applying the zoo model to conservation of threatened exceptional plant species
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1416-1425, December 2020., 2020 Abstract Maintaining a living plant collection is the most common method of ex situ conservation for plant species that cannot be seed banked (i.e., exceptional species). Viability of living collections, and their value for future conservation efforts, can be limited without coordinated efforts to track and manage individuals across institutions. Using

Dietary selection of ex-situ population in Chinese Egret [PDF]
, 2010 2008年至2009年在厦门大屿岛白鹭自然保护区建立了黄嘴白鹭（Egrettaeulophotes）异地种群，对异地种群进行了行为时间分配的研究。在对野生黄嘴白鹭食性进行初步研究的基础上，对异地圈养个体进行了食物选择性实验，并对食物进行了营养成分分析。目的在于了解了异地饲养条件下黄嘴白鹭的取食规律，并根据最佳摄食理论探讨其取食策略。 2008年和2009年两年共从野外采集69只黄嘴白鹭幼鸟，在厦门大屿岛白鹭自然保护区进行饲养，记录种群的存活情况，摸索相关饲养方法。其三月龄的存活率达到60%以上 ...

Personal Relationships, Volume 32, Issue 2, June 2025.ABSTRACT This paper replicates and extends prior work that demonstrated the general importance of friendships for maintaining well‐being, with a focus on unpartnered/single individuals. Using data from two quota samples of U.S. adults (Nsingle2022 = 552, Nsingle2023 = 391), we systematically examined how 10 theoretically derived characteristics of ...

Wildlife Letters, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 73-82, June 2024.Molecular markers are widely used in conservation genetics of wildlife. A total of 15 novel microsatellite loci with high polymorphism of Blue‐crowned laughingthrush were developed in this study. The genetic diversity level of wild individuals was higher than two captive populations including Ocean Park Hong Kong and Nanchang Zoo. The genetic diversity
