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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022 Interspecific allopreening is a rare and understudied behavior in birds. In this Nature Note, we describe our novel observations of the interspecific allopreening behavior between Spot‐necked (Stachyris strialata) and Nonggang Babblers (S. nonggangensis) in a non‐captive environment in Guangxi, China.

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.

野生动物学报, 2023 圈养是濒危野生动物重引入的重要措施之一，为了阐明圈养与野生、散放与圈养条件下鸟类肠道菌群的差异，在Web of Science和CNKI数据库中检索已发表的中英文文献，提取肠道微生物群落数据并使用R（Meta）进行分析。结果表明：圈养与野生相比，鸟类肠道厚壁菌门（Firmicutes）的丰度显著增加，拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）和绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）的丰度显著下降，梭菌属（Clostridium）、拟杆菌属（Bacteroides）和双歧杆菌属（Bifidobacterium ...

野生动物学报, 2022 为进一步探索川金丝猴(Rhinopithecus roxellana)应激水平和生殖激素的变化,以川金丝猴的粪便为试验材料,提取粪便中的肠道上皮细胞RNA和内固醇激素,检查样本皮质醇、睾酮和孕酮水平。结果显示:圈养(n=30)和野生(n=45)川金丝猴中,仅从3只圈养川金丝猴的粪便中提取出了RNA; 圈养川金丝猴皮质醇质量分数显著高于野生川金丝猴 ...

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

野生动物学报, 2023 为探究圈养梅花鹿（Cervus nippon）肠道菌群的结构、多样性以及肠道菌群组成的性别差异，利用Illumina MiSeq高通量测序平台对10只圈养健康梅花鹿粪便中的细菌16S rRNA V3—V4区扩增子进行PCR扩增，采用生物信息学手段以性别作为分组因素，分析雄、雌圈养梅花鹿肠道菌群的结构、多样性和差异物种。结果显示：在门水平上，圈养梅花鹿肠道菌群的优势菌门为厚壁菌门（Firmicutes；雄性61.69%，雌性58.23%）和拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes；雄性27.40%，雌性31 ...

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 ...
