A review to the methods of personality measurements in wild animals 野生动物个性测量方法的综述
Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 131-142, September 2023., 2023 One of the challenges in animal personality study is finding a suitable method to measure personality. Here, we outlined three methods (traits rating, behavioral coding, and experimentation) used in animal personality measurement. We found that traits rating was commonly used to test large‐sized animals (e.g., primates), behavioral coding was conducted

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change or economic processes). We explored the factors shaping 9 conservation attitudes toward forest and wildlife

Association of reproductive traits with captive‐ versus wild‐sourced birds in trade
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The wildlife trade is a billion‐dollar global business, involving millions of people, thousands of species, and hundreds of millions of individual organisms. Unravelling whether trade targets reproductively distinct species and whether this preference varies between captive‐ and wild‐sourced species is a crucial question.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Managed breeding programs are an important tool in marsupial conservation efforts but may be costly and have adverse genetic effects in unavoidably small captive colonies. Biobanking and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) could help overcome these challenges, but further demonstration of their potential is required to improve uptake. We

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,

Scientific contributions of citizen science applied to rare or threatened animals
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Citizen science is filling important monitoring gaps and thus contributing to the conservation of rare or threatened animals. However, most researchers have used peer‐reviewed publications to evaluate citizen science contributions. We quantified a larger spectrum of citizen science's contributions to the monitoring of rare or threatened ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Eimeria saudiensis represents a genus of apicomplexan parasites capable of inducing coccidiosis in Arabian oryx. Our research concentrated on the morphological and molecular investigation of Eimeria spp. in the captive oryx herd in Oman. The therapeutic and management practices employed at the Mammals Breeding Center were reassessed to diminish ...
