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.

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

Can Greater Flamingo Recognize Fertile vs. Infertile Egg? A Single Case Study [PDF]

, 2017
Fertility of captive flamingos varies between flocks, species and seasons. Individuating infertile eggs could be helpful to facilitate important decisions.

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

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

Successful captive rearing of an Egyptian vulture at Kalba Bird of Prey Centre, UAE [PDF]

, 2018
Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus) are endangered across their range, and ex-situ conservation efforts focus on establishing captive breeding programmes, with the ultimate goal of releasing captive-bred individuals into secure habitat.

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

Rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine mammals: An analysis of current views and practices. [PDF]

, 1996
Stranded marine mammals have long attracted public attention. Those that wash up dead are, for all their value to science, seldom seen by the public as more than curiosities.

Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 301-328, March 2025.
Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.
