Mid‐IR Imaging Can Detect Waste Heat Production in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesJournal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
This study explores how the ectothermic invertebrate Caenorhabditis elegans produces waste heat during metabolism using thermal infrared imaging. A new imaging technique was developed to clearly show differences in heat output between living and dead worms.

Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Social composition of soft‐release groups is correlated with survival of translocated gopher tortoises

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are often translocated into soft‐release enclosures with individuals from many other source sites. In a long‐term study of marked, translocated, adults and subadults, we found that survival in high‐density enclosures was higher for individuals with a greater number of potentially familiar individuals co ...

The incidence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella species isolated from captive reptiles at Ljubljana Zoo

open access: yesSlovenian Veterinary Research, 2016
Cloacal swabs from 74 healthy reptiles at Ljubljana Zoo were examined for the presence of salmonellae. Thirty nine reptiles underwent at least one antimicrobial treatment 24 - 48 months before sample collection.

Carnivore resource subsidies to support predator reintroductions and mitigate threats to reintroduced prey

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding of reintroduced carnivores is a tool that may increase translocation success and ease predation pressure on prey populations at critical times. In this study, we monitored the activity of native prey, and the activity and diet of a reintroduced predator, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), around carcass feeding stations in an
