Evaluation of a commercial automated assay for rapid serum progesterone determination in cattle, sheep and goats

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In ruminants, information on serum progesterone concentrations can be important in monitoring the oestrous cycle for pregnancy testing and the detection of endocrine disorders. We aimed to evaluate the suitability of a commercial enzyme‐linked fluorescence assay (ELFA), the MINI VIDAS (bioMérieux, Nürtingen), for measuring ...

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Conflict Social Networks of Critically Endangered Alpine Musk Deer in Captivity and Relationships With Fecal Steroid Hormones 圈养极危物种马麝的冲突社交网络及其与粪便类固醇激素的关联

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We conducted a grouping study on 52 adult musk deer to investigate whether group sex composition modulates aggressive behavior and stress response in captive musk deer. We found that the conflict interactions of all‐male groups were significantly more than those of mixed groups, and compared with the mixed groups, the conflict interactions of all‐male ...

The singing phenology of Bachman's sparrow: implications for monitoring programs

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used automated recording units, weather data, and multiple logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to determine the annual singing period and influences on singing behavior of Bachman's sparrow in Texas, USA, surveying daily for 2 years.
