This book was released on 2010 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis details a behavioral assessment of the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa). The clouded leopard is classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2010) Endangered Species Commission, and faces many challenges surrounding its conservation both in the wild and in captivity. In captivity, the issue of highest concern is mate compatibility. This study utilizes two separate methods to determine temperament and behavioral differences within the species, including behavioral observations and a keeper rated temperament assessment. Behavioral observations were used to analyze three specific tests; urine scent test, mirror image stimulation (Gallup, 1968), and a novel object test. These tests were chosen to elicit behaviors similar to those seen during breeding introductions. Animal care staff was asked to complete a temperament assessment which was compared with the behavioral observations to identify and link anecdotal personalities with quantifiable behaviors. The project included 24 clouded leopards housed at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand as well as the Smithsonian's Conservation Research Center, Front Royal, Virginia. This study revealed that the clouded leopards in the test population had four separate quantifiable temperaments including high-strung; active; calm; and aggressive. These temperaments were found to be significantly correlated to reproductive success and gender, with reproductively successful individuals and males rating higher on calm. The temperaments were also significantly correlated with the method by which the individual was reared from birth, with mother-reared individuals rating higher on aggressive. Behavioral observations recorded during test trials were found to be significantly correlated with reproductive success. Overall, reproductively successful individuals were quicker to respond, more vocal and spent less time out of sight and more time lying. Several behaviors were also found to be sex specific. Reproductively successful males exhibited more territorial behaviors, including patrol, defecate and urinewalk. The urinewalk was an unusual behavior not previously recorded in this species. The urine scent tests served best to elicit these behaviors and further testing is recommended to determine the possible use of urine scent tests in predicting reproductive success in the male clouded leopard. The reproductively successful females responded with defensive behaviors including, retreat and flinch. The mirror image stimulation was the best test to elicit these behaviors and further testing is recommended to determine the possible use of the MIS in predicting reproductive success in clouded leopard females. The data obtained in all eight treatments combined served as the best overall indicator of reproductive success in the clouded leopard. Due to the small sample size in this study, further testing is recommended, specifically of reproductively successful individuals. These tests may serve as a helpful tool in the management of this species in captivity.

Book Synopsis Wild Mammals in Captivity by : Devra G. Kleiman
Download or read book Wild Mammals in Captivity written by Devra G. Kleiman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-08-15 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoos, aquaria, and wildlife parks are vital centers of animal conservation and management. For nearly fifteen years, these institutions have relied on Wild Mammals in Captivity as the essential reference for their work. Now the book reemerges in a completely updated second edition. Wild Mammals in Captivity presents the most current thinking and practice in the care and management of wild mammals in zoos and other institutions. In one comprehensive volume, the editors have gathered the most current information from studies of animal behavior; advances in captive breeding; research in physiology, genetics, and nutrition; and new thinking in animal management and welfare. In this edition, more than three-quarters of the text is new, and information from more than seventy-five contributors is thoroughly updated. The standard text for all courses in zoo biology, Wild Mammals in Captivity will, in its new incarnation, continue to be used by zoo managers, animal caretakers, researchers, and anyone with an interest in how to manage animals in captive conditions.

Book excerpt: This book presents a technical review of ecological and life history information on a range of Bornean wildlife species, aimed at identifying what makes these species sensitive to timber harvesting practices and associated impacts. It addresses three audiences: 1) those involved in assessing and regulating timber harvesting activities in Southeast Asia, 2) those involved in trying to achieve conservation goals in the region, and 3) those undertaking research to improve multipurpose forest management. This book shows that forest management can be improved in many simple ways to allow timber extraction and wildlife conservation to be more compatible than under current practices. The recommendations can also be valuable to the many governmental and non-governmental organisations promoting sustainable forest management and eco-labelling. Finally, it identifies a number of shortcomings and gaps in knowledge, which the hope can interest the scientific community and promote further research. This review is, an important scientific step toward understanding and improving sustainable forestry practices for long-term biodiversity conservation. Even in the short term, however, significant improvements can be made to improve both conservation and the efficiency of forest management, and there is no need to delay action due to a perceived lack of information. In the longer term it is expected that the recommendations from this review will be implemented, and that further research will continue to help foster an acceptable balance among the choices needed to maintain healthy wildlife populations and biodiversity in a productive forest estate.
