Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Development of Microsatellite Markers for Ex Situ Management of the Harpy Eagle Using Next Generation Sequencing

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), one of the largest birds of prey in the world, is threatened with extinction throughout its entire area of occurrence in the Neotropics. While conservation efforts for the wild populations are crucial, it is also important to focus on ex situ conservation actions.

Identifying Causes of Reproductive Failure in Zoo‐Housed Bush Dogs (Speothos venaticus) to Improve Ex Situ Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We distributed a survey to global institutions housing bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) to collect data on factors which may affect litter survival. Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1

Does Parental Joblessness Matter for Children's Personality Traits?

Australian Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economic insecurity in childhood may shape not only children's opportunities but also the traits that govern how they think, behave and engage with the world. Using 17 years of longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey (n = 3792), this study examines whether sustained exposure to parental ...
