Behavioural Impact of Captive Management Changes in Three Species of Testudinidae
Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022 Reptile behaviour and welfare are understudied in comparison with mammals. In this study, behavioural data on three species (Astrochelys radiata, Stigmochelys pardalis, Aldabrachelys gigantea) of tortoises were recorded before and after an environmental ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hematologic assessment is a common clinical tool used to characterize both individual and population health. In ectothermic organisms, the hematologic response is influenced by external factors such as temperature and season, especially in temperate species. Yet, specific environmental effects have received little direct attention.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.
