Plasma metabolites reflect seasonally changing metabolic processes in a long-distance migrant shorebird (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
, 2002 Migrant birds have tightly scheduled annual cycles consisting of several distinct life cycle (sub-)stages such as reproduction, migration, moult and overwintering, each of which have specific metabolic requirements (e.g., fattening during migration ...

Captive breeding and conservation [PDF]
Zoology in the Middle East, 2011 Abstract Captive breeding is one of a myriad of tools at the disposal of conservationists. It can fulfil specific tasks that should be an integral part of the overall conservation action plan for a species. Captive breeding and other types of intensive management of individuals and populations often become necessary when human caused threats (habitat ...

Nutritional and health status of woolly monkeys [PDF]
, 2008 Woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha and L. flavicauda) are threatened species in the wild and in captivity. Numerous zoological institutions have historically kept Lagothrix lagotricha spp., but only a few of them have succeeded in breeding populations.

Effect of captivity on morphology: negligible changes in external morphology mask significant changes in internal morphology [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Captive breeding programmes are increasingly relied upon for threatened species management. Changes in morphology can occur in captivity, often with unknown consequences for reintroductions.
