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

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Prey restoration facilitates early tiger recolonization in a human‐dominated protected area of Thailand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rewilding is an important ecological restoration practice for sustaining ecosystem function. Reintroduction of large‐ and medium‐sized prey can facilitate recolonization by predators such as tigers (Panthera tigris) in fragmented habitats.

A decade under lens: Characterizing wildlife mortality from disease and infection in Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mortality and health issues are becoming an emerging issue in the conservation and management of wildlife populations. Understanding the causes of mortality is necessary for proper management of wildlife and habitats. To address this, a mixed approach was employed: we conducted a longitudinal analysis of a decade (2010–2019) of observed ...

Assessment of High Throughput Sequencing Quality of Host DNA Enriched From Faeces: A Case From Captive Tiger

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Molecular Detection of Parvovirus in Captive Siberian Tigers and Lions in Northeastern China From 2019 to 2021

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The fact that wild felines are carriers of pernicious infectious viruses should be a major concern due to the potential cross-species transmission between the felines and human or domestic animals.

Preliminary Insights into the Gut Microbiota of Captive Tigers in Republic of Korea: Influence of Geographic and Individual Variation

Microorganisms
The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the health and physiology of tigers (Panthera tigris), influencing digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. While numerous studies have characterized the gut microbiota of domestic carnivores and some
