The status quo is imperiled: Acknowledging the issue of range‐shifting wildlife species

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Rapid climate and land‐use change are reshaping wildlife distributions, forcing managers to confront difficult decisions that challenge the traditional “status quo” approach. Range contractions of snow‐dependent species such as the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus; left photo) may increasingly require practitioners to recognize and plan for unavoidable ...

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

Sources of Eustress in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Zoo environments foster enhanced animal welfare, integrated conservation, and improved population sustainability through the provision of eustressful factors (e.g., enrichment, social choice, positive human‐animal relationships), thus promoting cognitive challenge, improved resilience, and positive life experiences.
