Artificial incubation and hand-rearing of ‘Alala (Corvus hawaiiensis) eggs removed from the wild
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430130307.abs The wild ‘Alala (Corvus hawaiiensis) population has been declining for many years, and only a few pairs of birds are currently reproductively active on the island of Hawaii. A recovery program was initiated in 1993 which included removing eggs from wild nesting birds for artificial rearing and reintroduction. This paper describes the artificial […]
Urinary steroid evaluations to monitor ovarian function in exotic ungulates: X. Pregnancy diagnosis in Perissodactyla
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430130205.abs Enzymeimmunoassays (EIAs) for estrone conjugates (EC), pregnanediol-3-glucuronide (PDG), and C-19 and C-21 progesterone metabolites (C-19/C-21) were used to analyze urine samples from four nondomestic equid species, four tapir species, and two rhinoceros species in an attempt to identify if these assays could be used for diagnosing and monitoring pregnancy. The same urine samples […]
The effects of early experience on adult copulatory behavior in zoo-born chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430130107.abs This paper examines the relationship between the early rearing experience of zoo-born, zoo-reared chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and the subsequent occurrence of successful copulation as adults. Developmental histories were acquired for 71 subjects via questionnaires and phone interviews. The following variables related to aspects of chimpanzees’ early rearing experience were examined: (1) Rearing conditions, […]
Fecal progestagen evaluations to monitor the estrous cycle and pregnancy in the okapi (Okapia johnstoni)
The present study was conducted to establish a noninvasive method of reproductive monitoring in the okapi (Okapia johnstoni). Fecal samples were collected three times a week from nonpregnant okapis (n = 3) for periods of 2, 9, and 23 months, respectively, and for 2 months each from pregnant okapis (n = 4) at different stages […]
Molecular identification of a Mandrillus hybrid using mitochondrial DNA
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430120406.abs The purity of the Melbourne Zoo mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) population has been questioned, based on the facial coloration of the female members. Consequently, it is believed that the original founding female of the Melbourne Zoo “mandrill” population was a drill–mandrill hybrid. This individual, whose mother was suspected to be a drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus), […]
Estimated number of snake species that can be managed by Species Survival Plans in North America
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430120302.abs A survey designed to estimate the number of snake enclosures available for Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs was distributed to all North American zoos containing 100 or more reptile and amphibian specimens. Of the 52 zoos surveyed, 44 (84.6%) responded, indicating that 790 (26.3%) of the 3,012 snake enclosures were available for SSP […]
The effect of perceived environmental background on qualitative assessments of pig behaviour
Qualitative behaviour assessment is an integrative methodology that characterizes behaviour as a dynamic, expressive body language (e.g. as anxious or content). Such assessments are sensitive to environmental context, which makes them informative but also vulnerable to observers’ biased views of that context. This study investigated whether and how perceived environmental background affects observers’ qualitative assessments […]
Use of visual cover by domestic fowl: a Venetian blind effect?
Cover is a structural feature of the environment that animals can use to conceal themselves from predators or conspecifics or to gain shelter from inclement weather. Cover may also form a physical barrier limiting movement. It was hypothesized that domestic fowl, Gallus gallus domesticus, would use visual cover for concealment. Use of cover was examined […]
Nesting success in Darwin’s small tree finch, Camarhynchus parvulus: evidence of female preference for older males and more concealed nests
Age-assortative mating has been documented among birds, but there is little evidence of direct benefits to females that pair with older males. In this study, I examined nest concealment in Darwin’s small tree finch and tested the following predictions: (1) nest concealment increases with male age, (2) females prefer males that build well-concealed nests, and […]
Intracelomic use of tricaine methanesulfonate for anesthesia of bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) and leopard frogs (Rana pipiens)
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430110404.abs The use of intracelomic injection of dissolved tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) as an anesthetic agent in two anuran species was studied. Intracelomic MS-222, at dosages of 100, 250, and 400 mg/kg, rapidly induced tranquilization or anesthesia. Effects were less pronounced or nonexistent at the 50 mg/kg dosage. Depth and duration of anesthesia were dosage […]
