Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Mark‐Recapture Survival Estimates of Sympatric Northern and Southern Flying Squirrels 同域分布的北方鼯鼠与南方鼯鼠的标记重捕存活率估算

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change is leading to sympatric populations of northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern (Glaucomys volans) flying squirrels; however, we do not know how vital rates like survival are changing following this novel secondary contact. Using mark‐recapture data from sympatric populations, we found nearly identical annual survival rates (0.20 and 0.

The effect of seawater on thermoregulator centers [PDF]

Experiments were done on dogs to determine the mechanism of thermoregulation. Results show that natural seawater, injected intravenously (150, 200, and 300 cc ), causes narcosis of the thermic centers and increases temperature. Diluted seawater injection

Triiodothyronine suppresses humoral immunity but not T-cell-mediated immune response in incubating female eiders (Somateria mollissima)

, 2007
Immunity is believed to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eiders (Somateria mollissima) is

Reproductive Traits of Zoo‐Bred and Wild‐Bred Eastern Massasaugas (Sistrurus catenatus) at Species Survival Plan® Conservation Breeding Centres and Other Facilities

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Based on 94 Massasauga litters born in human care, mean litter size and number of live young per litter were higher in wild‐bred than in zoo‐bred litters. Wild‐bred litters more often contained live young than did zoo‐bred litters. In zoo‐bred litters, dam mass was positively associated with above‐average reproductive output.

Environmental Parameters as Indicators of Bear Welfare

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
More than half of the bear exhibits in Thai zoos do not provide the environmental resources needed for good welfare potential. Accredited zoos provided better exhibits than government and private zoos. ABSTRACT Bears are commonly displayed in zoos worldwide.
