Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) Stand Their Ground: Investigating Flight Response, or Lack Thereof, to Perceived Predation Risk 野猪坚守原地:探究其面对感知捕食风险时的逃逸反应 (或无逃逸行为)

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.

Detection‐Dog‐Guided Camera Placement Increases Efficiency of Surveys for Long‐Tailed Weasels (Neogale frenata) 利用探测犬引导布设相机可提升长尾鼬调查效率

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
By comparing widespread surveys with randomly placed cameras to a protocol pairing detection dogs with cameras, we found that the detection‐dog‐guided camera survey had approximately 33 times greater detections with fewer camera nights and reduced survey costs. We recommend using detection dogs to identify areas to focus camera trapping. ABSTRACT Multi‐

Facing Truths About Population Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Populations of wildlife, and domestic animals have large sinks for surplus animals. By contrast, zoos don't. Humans in industrialized societies are socialized with companion animals, i.e. surplus (i.e., typically denied reproduction) originating from unseen breeding cores.

Roaring to Go: Engagement With Positive Reinforcement Training as a Valid and Reliable Indicator of Positive Welfare in Zoo Big Cats

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A figure summarising the information conveyed by the abstract in graphical form ABSTRACT Engagement with positive reinforcement training is a non‐invasive, easily recorded, and valid indicator of welfare in captive bottlenose dolphins. However, despite the ubiquitousness of training programs in zoo‐housed mammals in accredited zoos, this metric has yet

Testicular Echobiometry and Sperm Characterization in Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) From the Caatinga Biome

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We describe testicular echobiometry and sperm characterization in oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) from the Caatinga biome, Ceará, Brazil. ABSTRACT Among neotropical small felids, the Leopardus tigrinus is classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but studies on reproductive morphology and physiology are scarce for ...
