Global wildlife trade and trafficking contribute to the world’s nonhuman primate conservation crisis

Frontiers in Conservation Science
A growing global human population, habitat conversion, and the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources have created unsustainable demands on nature, resulting in widespread biodiversity loss.

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

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

Wildlife 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 ...

Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

Wildlife management in the United States – thoughts on evolving to better address species overabundance and disease transmission

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Management options and actions are important for responsibly working to keep populations of sometimes overabundant species of invasive and native wildlife at levels that keep damage (e.g., agricultural, environmental, human health and safety) and disease (e.g., species specific, shared with livestock, zoonotic) associated with them at acceptable levels.

Historical Development of Zoo Tapir (Tapirus ssp.) Survivorship

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
The survivorship of tapirs in zoos has improved significantly over historical time. ABSTRACT Tapirs (Tapirus spp.) are large, long‐lived herbivores native to Central and South America and Southeast Asia. All species are currently classified as Vulnerable (T. terrestris) or Endangered (other species) in the IUCN SSC Red List.

Measuring Zoo Rhino Personality: Investigating Methods of Assessment and Relationships to Behavior

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Rhino activity budgets, keeper ratings and responses to novelty showed only partial agreement, suggesting that each method measures different aspects of personality and should not be used interchangeably. Future research should focus on developing a multifaceted, validated personality assessment tool for use in zoo rhino management.

Diversity and prevalence of zoonotic infections at the animal-human interface of primate trafficking in Peru.

PLoS ONE
Wildlife trafficking creates favorable scenarios for intra- and inter-specific interactions that can lead to parasite spread and disease emergence. Among the fauna affected by this activity, primates are relevant due to their potential to acquire and ...
