Joyful by nature: approaches to investigate the evolution and function of joy in non‐human animals
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1548-1563, October 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The nature and evolution of positive emotion is a major question remaining unanswered in science and philosophy. The study of feelings and emotions in humans and animals is dominated by discussion of affective states that have negative valence.

Collective decision‐making in aquatic mammals
Mammal Review, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 238-253, October 2023., 2023 A framework for determining how decisions on a group level are made by non‐human mammals. These decisions can either be shared (requiring a threshold/majority in a ‘consensus’ decision or an individual choice regarding which option to follow in a ‘combined’ decision) or unshared (where individuals will either follow a single leader in an ‘unshared ...

Losing the forest for the tree? On the wisdom of subpopulation management
Zoo Biology, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 591-604, September/October 2023., 2023 Disagreement over species, subspecies, and ESU definitions and poor support for many population designations interacts with concerns over hybridization and outbreeding depression to promote subpopulation management. Conversely, managing populations as gene pools rather than taxonomic units allows for larger population sizes and reduced extinction risk.

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 18, Page 5224-5239, September 2023., 2023 Climate change, habitat loss, and human disturbance are endangering biodiversity. Protecting habitats requires a global effort to establish effective protected areas and halt biodiversity decline. In China, conservation management is often carried out based on administrative divisions.

Acute phase reactants in nondomesticated mammals—A veterinary clinical pathology perspective
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 52, Issue S1, Page 19-36, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Applications for acute phase reactants (APRs) in nondomesticated mammals include identifying inflammatory disease, monitoring the course of specific disease processes and recovery during rehabilitation, detecting preclinical or subclinical disease, being used as bioindicators for monitoring population and ecosystem health, and as markers of ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 36-47, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Animals living in captivity and the wild show differences in the internal structure of their gut microbiomes. Here, we performed a meta‐analysis of the microbial data of about 494 fecal samples obtained from giant pandas (captive and wild giant pandas).

Assessing the efficacy of medetomidine and tiletamine-zolazepam for remote immobilisation of feral horses (Equus caballus) [PDF]
, 2014 Context The study of any wild animal's home range requires the collection of spatiotemporal data, obtained independently of climatic conditions or time of day. This can be achieved by the attachment of global positioning system (GPS) data loggers, which,
