Welfare Assessment of Flight-restrained Captive Birds: Effects of Inhibition of Locomotion

Wetchasan sattawaphaet = The Thai journal of veterinary medicine, 2013
Morphological and physiological adaptations have allowed birds to utilize flying as part of the primary locomotion. However, birds in captivity are often deprived of this natural skill due to limited living space or wing amputation.

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.

Brown teal (Pateke) diet and its consequences for releases : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]

, 2003
This thesis addresses three research needs central to the conservation of the Brown Teal (Anas chlorotis): diet, release and post-release techniques for captive-bred teal, and identifying cause of death.

Can we use starlings' aversion to eyespots as the basis for a novel 'cognitive bias' task? [PDF]

, 2009
Experiments in humans have shown that changes in emotional (affective) state cause adaptive changes in the processing of incoming information, termed "cognitive bias".

Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Occurrence and vertical transmission of avian polyomavirus and circovirus in captive and wild Passeriformes in Poland

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Diseases caused by polyomaviruses and circoviruses in parrots were first described in the 1980s. Then they began to be diagnosed in other orders of birds, including Passeriformes, such as Atlantic canaries (Serinus canaria) and estrildid and ...

Quantitative muscle architecture in large carnivorous marsupials (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) and links to substrate use and prey processing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dasyurid species Sarcophilus harrisii, Dasyurus maculatus, and Dasyurus viverrinus, occupying diverse ecological niches and forming a guild structure in Tasmania, provide a basis for examining the roles of various forelimb muscle groups in prey capture and locomotion.

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.
