When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States
The global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

Characterizing China's Illegal Trade in Avifauna on Social Media 中国社交媒体上非法鸟类贸易的特征分析
Worldwide, illegal wildlife trade is an increasing threat to species conservation. Here, we used the social media data to characterize China's illegal online trade in avifauna for conservation implications. Our results found that 178 avian species have been posted online for illegal trading. ABSTRACT The illegal wildlife trade poses a growing threat to

Functions of DHP and its nuclear receptor on reproductive neuroendocrine in zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
本文研究了DHP对野生型和孕酮核受体敲除纯合型两种类型雄性斑马鱼垂体中促性腺激素β亚基基因(fshb和lhb)、脑中多巴胺合成限速酶酪氨酸羟基化酶基因(th2)及多巴胺二型受体基因(drd2a和drd2b)和促性腺激素释放激素基因(gnrh2和gnrh3)mRNA表达的影响。主要研究结果如下: 1.野生型雄性斑马鱼垂体中促性腺激素β亚基基因(fshb和lhb)mRNA表达呈现周日变化趋势,可分为基础表达期、上升表达期和高峰表达期3个期,高峰表达期的mRNA表达量显著高于其它2个期 ...

Background – Besides pruritus and skin lesions, cats with feline atopic skin syndrome (FASS) may have seborrhoea. Hypothesis/Objectives – The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether an adsorbent mousse containing tapioca starch, adelmidrol and a nonpharmacological antimicrobial complex could decrease FASS‐associated seborrhoea in cats ...
