The Response of LLamas ( Lama Glama ) to Familiar and Unfamilar Humans [PDF]
The current study explored the response of llamas to familiar and unfamiliar humans under housing and management conditions typical of both zoological gardens and llama farms. A group of five adult llamas was exposed to three 30-min socialization sessions with one female handler, who offered food and tactile contact. Subjects were then tested for their

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Built it, but did they come? Monitoring winter feeding station use by endangered long‐tailed gorals
Emergency feeding stations successfully supported endangered long‐tailed gorals during severe winter weather, with high utilization driven by snow depth. Because localized feed depletion triggered intraspecific conflict, managers should implement spatially dispersed feeding networks to optimize survival interventions for vulnerable populations ...

Abstract Background Determination of the serum progesterone (P4) concentration is of high importance in reproductive medicine and may be applied for diagnosing pregnancy in South American camelids. P4 measurements in alpacas and llamas are usually performed using immunoassays, which are time consuming and require appropriate expertise of laboratory ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
