First Vasectomy Procedure Successfully Performed on a Southern African Male Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
First successful vasectomy in a southern African male giraffe, Giraffa camelopardis giraffa ABSTRACT This study reports the first successful vasectomy on a southern African male giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa). The goal of the procedure was to create a teaser male for reproductive studies.

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

Bergmann's rule: Why does body size increase with latitude?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bergmann's rule describes the tendency for endothermic body size to increase with latitude, a pattern often attributed to climatic factors. However, the underlying developmental and evolutionary mechanisms remain debated.

Local climate and genetic influence on intraspecific variation in torpor physiology of a cave‐roosting bat

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...

Classical Open-population Capture-Recapture Models.(2005). Handbook of Capture-recapture Methods.

, 2005
In the previous chapter closed capture–recapture models were considered for situations where the population size does not change during the study. When open-population models are used, the processes of birth, death, and migration are allowed, and therefore the population size can change during the study. Studies of open populations often cover extended

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.
