Contribution of cats and dogs to SARS-CoV-2 transmission in households
| Contributor(s):: Fischer, E. A. J., Broens, E. M., Kooistra, H. S., De Rooij, M. M. T., Stegeman, J. A., De Jong, M. C. M.
IntroductionSARS-CoV-2 is known to jump across species. The occurrence of transmission in households between humans and companion animals has been shown, but the contribution of companion animals to the overall transmission within a household is unknown. The basic reproduction number (R-0) is...

Cat: Empirical modelling of Felis catus population dynamics in the UK
| Contributor(s):: McDonald, J., Finka, L., Foreman-Worsley, R., Skillings, E., Hodgson, D.
Domestic cats are popular companion animals, however not all live in human homes and many cats live within shelters or as free-roaming, unowned- feral or stray cats. Cats can transition between these subpopulations, but the influence of this connectivity on overall population dynamics, and the...

Behavioral characterization of musth in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus): Defining progressive stages of male sexual behavior in in-situ and ex-situ populations
| Contributor(s):: LaDue, Chase A., Vandercone, Rajnish P. G., Kiso, Wendy K., Freeman, Elizabeth W.
Complementary studies of wild and zoo-housed animals offer insight into behavioral variation across a range of conditions including the context under which various behaviors evolved in natural settings. This information can be used to improve the sustainability of in-situ and ex-situ populations...

The Animal-Human Interface in Farm Animal Production: Animal Fear, Stress, Reproduction and Welfare
| Contributor(s):: Acharya, R. Y., Hemsworth, P. H., Coleman, G. J., Kinder, J. E.
A negative human-animal relationship (HAR) from the perspective of the animal is a limiting factor affecting farm animal welfare, as well as farm animal productivity. Research in farm animals has elucidated sequential relationships between stockperson attitudes, stockperson behaviour, farm...

Consequences of nescient mating: Artificial insemination increases cub rejection in the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)
| Contributor(s):: Li, Ming Fei, Swaisgood, Ronald R., Owen, Megan A., Zhang, Hemin, Zhang, Guiquan, Qiu, Jian, Martin, Meghan S.
Artificial insemination (AI) is a valuable tool for conservation breeding programs as it can promote reproductive success and genetic diversity in species with decreasing populations. However, females that undergo AI do not experience natural mating events, which we term, “nescient...

Social distancing: High population density increases cub rejection and decreases maternal care in the giant panda
| Contributor(s):: Ciminelli, Giulia, Martin, Meghan S., Swaisgood, Ronald R., Zhang, Guiquan, Guo, Li, Owen, Megan A.
In conservation breeding centers, individuals are often housed in close proximity with an artificially high-population density. For many solitary species, these housing arrangements are in direct contrast to in-situ conditions. High-population density during pregnancy may lead to perceived...

Can behavioural management improve behaviour and reproduction in captive blue-and-yellow macaws (Ara ararauna)?
| Contributor(s):: Miglioli, Amanda, Vasconcellos, Angélica da Silva
Environments that do not provide animals with appropriate stimuli may affect their welfare and reproduction, for example by precluding them from exhibiting their full behavioural repertoire. In this study, we sought to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioural management techniques to stimulate...

Surgical sterilization impacts on behavior of coyote pairs
| Contributor(s):: Leary, Tyler, Schultz, Jeffrey T., Young, Julie K.
Coyotes (Canis latrans) involved in depredation of livestock, an act frequently resulting in human-wildlife conflict, often do so out of necessity for provisioning pups. Surgical sterilization methods such as vasectomy that preserve gonadal hormones have been successful in reducing depredation by...
