(1) Background: Environmental enrichment (EE) is a management principle aimed at meeting the needs of animals under human care by identifying and providing essential environmental stimuli to contribute integrity their psychological physiological well-being. Studies on EE have been carried out worldwide, but consolidated information how it has used, who used for, evaluated, what gaps still exist in subject scarce scientific literature. This study assessed, employing systematic review, global...
Abstract Animal conservation translocation is an important tool available to biologists address problems of isolated, declining or endangered populations. This approach includes both captive‐bred and free‐ranging origin animals, which are used rescue genetically limited populations re‐establish extirpated Both soft‐ hard‐release protocols (the release animals with without acclimatization, respectively) in animal programmes; however, there no consensus on whether one has better outcomes than...
Recent studies have argued that changes in fire regimes the 21st century are posing a major threat to global biodiversity. In this scenario, incorporating species’ physiological, ecological, and evolutionary traits with their local exposure might facilitate accurate identification of species most at risk from fire. Here, we developed framework for identifying animal vulnerable extinction fire-induced stress Brazilian savanna. The proposed addresses vulnerability two components: (1) exposure,...
The population awareness about environmental conservation is raising and this brought an increase in the number of restoration studies. Nucleation a technique used for restoration, where small nuclei vegetation are established within degraded land. aim paper was to evaluate, by doing bibliometric analysis, tendencies gaps study using nucleation technique. Data were collected Web Science© Google Scholar© databases, from 1996 2012. Keywords search papers nucleation, soil recovery,...
Predation is one of the main factors responsible for failure reintroduction/translocation programs. Animal's personality and sex can also influence key behaviors survival reproduction. This study aimed to evaluate anti-predator training, on translocated blue-fronted Amazon parrots. Thirty-one captive-raised parrots were a Cerrado area in Brazil. Parrots separated into two groups: trained group (ATG) control (CG). Personality tests performed with individuals ATG group. Data collected using...
Os escorpiões (Arachnida, Scorpiones), especialmente na área urbana, devido à grande densidade demográfica e possibilidade de confronto, representam risco saúde pública. A espécie Tityus serrulatus é a mais importante, do ponto vista médico, causando o maior número acidentes. Objetivou-se levantar dados epidemiológicos ocorrência acidentes escorpiônicos em Belo Horizonte, entre 1990 1997. foram obtidos no Hospital Pronto Socorro João XXIII. Ocorreram 3265 acidentes, sendo maioria 1996....
Visitors can affect and reduce the welfare of nonhuman animals. The Belo Horizonte Zoo, Brazil, had a group greater rheas intended for reintroduction to wild. Because this received public visitation, evaluating its effect on birds' behavior was important. study conducted 60 hr behavioral observations: 30 with, without, visitors in front enclosure. study, April-December 2009, collected data using scan sampling with instantaneous recording every minute. behavior, visitor density, time spent...
Consequences of habitat fragmentation for species occurrence are amongst the most important issues in landscape and conservation ecology. Empirical theoretical studies have demonstrated that total amount habitat, patch size connectivity nonlinear effects on survival multiple spatial temporal scales. Therefore, population models need to incorporate scales, which can be extremely valuable prioritizing efforts these changing landscapes. We tested how configuration affect understory bird using...
The shy-bold continuum is an axis of behavioural variation for some species, but the consequences shyness and boldness in antipredatory behaviour unknown. Bold animals have tendency to be predated first after release comparison shy animals, who naturally avoid predators. Antipredatory training has been used enhance defence behaviours naive by various researchers around world. For greater rheas, Rhea americana (Linnaeus, 1758), this kind study pioneer. In we investigated if there are...
Human activities have been diminishing greater rhea Rhea americana (Linnaeus, 1758) populations throughout their natural distribution. The reintroductions of captive-born rheas tried but without success; since the individuals reintroduced were killed by predators. Captive-born animals that isolated from predators for many generations can lose predator recognition abilities. To enhance survival rates animals, researchers are now using antipredator training techniques. We studied response 15...
Abstract To investigate the science of animal welfare for zoo and wild animals in period from 1966 to 2007, we conducted a bibliometric analysis abstracts downloaded The Web Science © database using keyword combination “Animal welfare, Zoo* wild” topic field. In total 1,125 abstracts, which were classified into following categories: year publication; environment study (e.g., zoo) or theoretical; area knowledge conservation situ); number experimental used; species; addresses authors;...
Abstract The maned wolf ( Chrysocyon brachyurus , Illiger, 1815, Canidae) is a threatened species that inhabits the cerrados of Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Captive wolves could be potentially used in reintroduction programs for conservation; however, it necessary their behavior cognitive abilities are conserved. Environmental enrichment tool to stimulate captive animals maintain natural behavioral repertoire. To compare variation wolves' responses environmental...
