Comparison of Fecal Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Captive and Wild Asian Elephants

Antibiotics, 2023
The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) is a flagship species of tropical rainforests, and it has generated much concern. In this case, the gut bacterial communities of captive and wild Asian elephants are particularly noteworthy.

Genetic Assessment of a Captive Population of Eurasian Stone-Curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus), Source for the Reinforcement of Wild Populations

Biology
Although ex situ conservation programs are increasingly valuable support tools for in situ conservation measures, success depends on these captive individuals to be genetically representative of the recipient population.

Vitamin A deficiency and its treatment in captive Sunda pangolins

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
The high incidence of disease in captive pangolins is a major obstacle in pangolin‐conservation breeding programs. Therefore, elucidating pangolins’ susceptibility to disease is the key to conservation progress.

Daily behavioural patterns and time budgets of captive black-bellied sandgrouse (Aves: Pteroclidae)

Avocetta, 2012
Maintaining normal behavioural patterns is an important component of captive breeding with the aim of reintroduction. We examined the behaviours and daily time budgets in captivity of hand-raised black-bellied sandgrouse Pterocles orientalis provided ...

Breeding of Moorhen in Captivity

Japanese Journal of Ornithology, 1976
One-year old moorhens (Gallinula chloropus) hatched in an incubator and kept in captivity laidtheir eggs and bred for two successive years. In their first breeding season, one pair was formed andthey had one brood and raised two young. The second year's breeding of the same pair started nearlytwo months earlier and they had 3 broods in the year.The ...

Nutritional composition and heavy metal content in breast and thigh muscles of wild and intensively reared common pheasants (Phasianus colchicus)

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2020
Differing conditions in captive breeding and in the wild have impact on the mineral profile of the pheasant carcass and its heavy metal contents. This may be an indicator of environmental contamination. The study evaluated the nutritional composition and

First successful post-release breeding of captive-bred White-rumped Vultures Gyps bengalensis (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae) in the wild at Buxa Tiger Reserve, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa
The population of White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis declined catastrophically across South Asia during the 1990s due to diclofenac poisoning, prompting captive-breeding programmes aimed at eventual species recovery through reintroduction.

True fertilisation failure in captivity is rare

Global Ecology and Conservation
Species recovery through captive breeding can be hindered by low reproductive success. However, we know little about the drivers of early reproductive failure in captive populations, due to difficulties distinguishing fertilisation failure from early ...

Predictive genetic plan for a captive population of the Chinese goral (Naemorhedus griseus) and prescriptive action for ex situ and in situ conservation management in Thailand.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Captive breeding programs for endangered species can increase population numbers for eventual reintroduction to the wild. Captive populations are typically small and isolated, which results in inbreeding and reduction of genetic variability, and may lead
