Standardization and validation of a simple, sensitive, second antibody format enzyme immunoassay for growth hormone determination in mithun (Bos frontalis) plasma
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20069.abs To facilitate research into the action of growth hormone (GH) in mithun (Bos frontalis), we standardized and validated a simple and highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for GH determination in mithun blood plasma on microtiter plates using biotin-streptavidin amplification system and the second antibody coating technique. Biotin was coupled to GH and used […]
Female age-specific reproductive rates, birth seasonality, and infant mortality of ring-tailed Lemurs on St. Catherines Island: 17-year reproductive history of a free-ranging colony
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20062.abs To compare reproductive parameters of a managed population of free-ranging provisioned ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) to wild L. catta populations, we analyzed birth and mortality records collected over the 17-year history of the St. Catherines Island ring-tailed lemur colony. The majority of births in this colony (approximately 80%) occurred in March, which indicates […]
Immunocontraception of captive exotic species
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20060.abs The biological efficacy of porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraception and the timing of booster inoculations were determined in 24 species of ungulates and five species of non-ungulates across 10 years of treatment and for which no technical problems were identified. The collective contraceptive efficacy for 265 ungulates, 25 bears, and 11 sea lions, […]
Structural and nonstructural carbohydrate, fat, and protein composition of commercially available, whole produce
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20057.abs Previously reported values for produce items often reflect only the human edible portion although animals generally eat the entire item. Produce can comprise a significant proportion of a captive, exotic animal’s diet; therefore, nutrient values based on whole items will enable a more accurate diet formulation. Whole produce items, including fruits, vegetables, and […]
Predicting reproduction in captive sea otters (Enhydra lutris)
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20020.abs The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a threatened species. It is also a popular exhibit animal in many zoos and aquariums worldwide. Unfortunately, sea otters reproduce successfully in only a small number of facilities. Pregnancies vary in duration, and are thought to involve a delayed implantation of about 2–3 months, followed by an […]
Familiarity may buffer the adverse effects of relocation on marmosets (Callithrix kuhlii): Preliminary evidence
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20019.abs The relocation of exotic species is increasingly crucial for the proper management of captive populations. We investigated the effects of relocation on urinary cortisol levels and proximity behavior in four Wied’s marmosets (Callithrix kuhlii). Two of the relocated marmosets constituted a well-established pair, whereas two (the newly established pair) were introduced when they […]
Pellet morphometry as a tool to distinguish age and sex in the mule deer
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.10119.abs By examining the morphometry (i.e., length, width, length-to-width ratio, and volume) of pellets in three different categories (adult males, adult females, and yearlings) mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), we were able to distinguish via discriminant function and fuzzy clustering analyses the age and sex of these animals. To determine a priori the identity of […]
Transportation techniques for massive scleractinian corals
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.10127.abs Transportation techniques for scleractinian corals have been described mainly for fragments and small colonies. As part of a recent study on captive sexual reproduction of the Caribbean species Montastrea annularis and Diploria strigosa, we transported relatively large (max. diameter of 21 cm), heavy (max. weight of 9,200 g) colonies of both species from […]
Survival of the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on bare hands and gloves: hygiene implications for amphibian handling
Hygiene protocols for handling amphibians in the field and in laboratories have been proposed to decrease the transmission of chytridiomycosis caused by infection with the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, which is responsible for global amphibian declines. However, these protocols are mainly based on theoretical principles. The aim of this study was to develop an […]
Reproductive status of endemic felid species in Latin American zoos and implications for ex situ conservation
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.10093.abs Reproductive evaluations were conducted on 185 male cats representing eight endemic Latin American species that were maintained in 44 zoos and private facilities in 12 Latin American countries. Reproductive assessments (testicular measures, ejaculate quality, and blood testosterone/cortisol concentration) were used to establish normative values for large- and small-sized cats in Latin American collections.
