Fatal interactions: pneumonia in bighorn lambs following experimental exposure to carriers of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
We hypothesized that bighorn sheep ewes with chronic nasal Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae carriage are the source of infection that results in fatal lamb pneumonia. We tested this hypothesis in captive bighorn ewes at two study facilities over a 5-year period,

Longitudinal characterization of Escherichia coli in healthy captive nonhuman primates

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2014
The gastrointestinal (GI) tracts of nonhuman primates are well known to harbor Escherichia coli, a known commensal of humans and animals. While E.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

The variation of gut microbiota in captive Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) from infancy to adulthood

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Rhinopithecus roxellana (R. roxellana) is an endangered primate species, and its infant survival rate in captivity is extremely low. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the gut microbiota from 8 infants (14–18 days old), 12 juveniles ...

Socio-sexual behaviour in two groups of captive Bonobos (Pan paniscus): a description and functional analysis [PDF]

, 2005
This study is an investigation into bonobo socio-sexual behaviour in two captive groups, Twycross in Leicestershire and Planckendael in Belgium. There are four main areas of emphasis and these are reconciliation, tension reduction, social bonding and ...

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

Behavior of female Tarsius spectrumgurskyae at the primate research center breeding facility

Open Veterinary Journal
Background: Behavioral studies are crucial for ex situ conservation, as animals must exhibit their natural behavior as one of the principles of animal welfare.

Comparative mortality levels among selected species of captive animals [PDF]

We present life tables by single year of age and sex for groups of animals and for 42 individual mostly mammalian species. Data are derived from the International Species Information System. The survivorship of most of these species has never been mapped

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.
