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 ...

应用种群管理软件SPARKS 1.6及PMX对中国黑叶猴圈养种群的现状进行了统计分析。截至2012年12月31日,黑叶猴谱系记录了574只个体,目前种群存活个体数量为318只,分布在34家动物园或机构中。圈养种群野外捕获个体主要来源于20世纪70~90年代,目前保持稳定状态。圈养出生个体数则一直保持上升状态,是维持黑叶猴圈养种群增长的主要来源,2012年圈养出生数量占种群总数的87.4%。种群周期增长率λ=1.042,性比M:F=1:1.04,目前种群中能够繁殖的个体共110只(♂48只,♀62只 ...

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
