Tuberculosis Susceptibility and Inbreeding Depression Hinder Ex Situ Conservation in a Critically Endangered Rainforest Bird [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Captive breeding can be a key component of species conservation strategies, but also exposes these rare species to novel environments including the pathogen landscape. The critically endangered white‐winged wood duck (WWWD) Asarcornis scutulata has experienced substantial population declines, local extirpations and fragmentation of its former ...

Serological Surveillance and Risk Factor Analysis for Parrot Bornavirus in Taiwan [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Parrots are traded globally and pose a substantial risk for disease transmission involving parrot‐specific pathogens. Parrot bornavirus (PaBV) belongs to the Bornaviridae family and encompasses two clades: alphapsittaciforme (PaBV‐1 to ‐4, PaBV‐7, and ‐8) and betapsittaciforme (PaBV‐5 and PaBV‐6). These clades cause proventricular dilatation disease, a

Quantitative CT Patterns and Functional Loss Related to Welding Fume Exposure, While Handling the Confounding Effect of Cigarette Smoking [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Introduction Ill‐defined centrilobular nodules, the most common radiological sign of welding fume (WF) exposure, are also frequently seen in smoking‐related respiratory bronchiolitis due to their common pathophysiological features. Thus, smoking is often a confounding factor in the diagnosis of welder’s pneumoconiosis.

Zoo Biology, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 834-839, November/December 2023., 2023 We describe our transition from hands‐on avicultural techniques for Hawaiian crow (‘Alalā; Corvus hawaiiensis) conservation breeding to parental breeding, to prepare the birds to thrive in the wild after reintroduction. Moreover, we share how we monitor pairs to quantitatively evaluate reproductive performance and identify release candidates.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 We used accelerometer‐capable GPS tracking to investigate the use of a novel food source by endangered Carnaby's cockatoos (Zanda latirostris) during nestling provisioning. We found the importance of canola relative to native food sources increased with increased maximum daily temperature; however, there was a threshold for time spent in canola, even ...
