Re‐Defining Modern Zoo Roles Through the ‘7‐Pillar Framework': Quantitative Evidence From Zoo Visitors and Non‐Zoo Visitors

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of the diverse roles of modern zoos. Established roles are shown in black and new or emerging roles in green, while entertainment (red) represents a historically established but increasingly criticized role. ABSTRACT Traditionally, the roles of zoos have been summarised in the ‘4‐Pillar Framework’ comprising Conservation, Education,

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.

Adjusting Our Thinking About Feeding Animals: Fiber as the Metric for Mimicking Natural Diets

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A typical effect of the change of an animal group to a diet higher in fiber: juveniles keep growing, animals of ideal body weight maintain their weight, and obese individuals lose weight. ABSTRACT Free‐ranging animals often ingest markedly different diets than their counterparts under human care, whether companion animals, production animals, or zoo ...

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Filtered, yet not homogenised: Urbanisation does not lead to cross‐city convergence in Mexican urban bird communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanisation simplifies bird communities, but does not necessarily make urban avifaunas alike. Across three biogeographically distinct Mexican cities, urban bird assemblages remained regionally distinct despite strong local filtering. These results challenge assumptions of urban‐driven homogenisation and emphasise the dominant role of regional species ...
