Exploring the behaviors and social preferences of a large, multigenerational herd of zoo-housed southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum)
Williams, B., Campbell, J., Kendall, C., Tuttle, J., & Lynch, E. C. (2023, February 21). ZOO BIOLOGY, Vol. 2.
author keywords: ceratotherium; social behavior; welfare; zoo animal
TL;DR:
It is recommended that management plans attempt to house immature females with calf-less adult females, as they may be necessary to the social landscape of immature females and, ultimately, improve their welfare.

Value of combining transect counts and telemetry data to determine short-term population trends in a globally threatened species
Kendall, C. J., Bracebridge, C., Lynch, E. C., Mgumba, M., Monadjem, A., Nicholas, A., & Kane, A. (2023, September 15). CONSERVATION BIOLOGY.
author keywords: cross-validation; decline; population models; survival; Tanzania; vulture
TL;DR:
It is suggested that the use of multiple techniques improves understanding of population trends over the short term, and southern Tanzania has higher current encounter rates of African vultures than elsewhere in East Africa.

Combining models for animal tracking: Defining behavioural states to understand space use for conservation
Peters, N. M., Beale, C. M., Bracebridge, C., Mgumba, M. P., & Kendall, C. J. (2022, September 27). JOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY, Vol. 9.
author keywords: behavioural state; Gyps africanus; hidden Markov model; point process model; poisoning; protected area; resource selection; Tanzania; telemetry data; vulture
TL;DR:
This work examines the external variables that affect vultures' decisions regarding space use, specifically during foraging and feeding when they are at greatest risk for encountering threats, and uses this to inform effective conservation interventions.

Temporal resource partitioning of wildebeest carcasses by scavengers after riverine mass mortality events
ECOSPHERE, 12(1).
author keywords: carrion use; decomposition; Mara Serengeti; marabou stork; mass mortality; river; scavenger; succession; vulture; wildebeest
TL;DR:
Investigation of scavenger use and succession on wildebeest carcasses that resulted from annual mass drownings in the Mara River, Kenya found patterns of temporal resource partitioning, with large-bodied avian scavengers more common initially, followed by small-bodied bird scavengers, and then by insectivorous birds and non-avian scavenger.

Circulating nutrients and hematological parameters in managed African elephants ( Loxodonta Africana ) over a 1‐year period
Zoo Biology, 39(5), 345–354.
Contributors: J. Wood n, E. Koutsos*, * , L. Minter*, T. Tollefson, E. Ivory*, K. Ange-van Heugten n
author keywords: blood; nutrition; pachyderm; zoo
MeSH headings : Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Animals, Zoo; Aspartate Aminotransferases / blood; Bilirubin / blood; Biomarkers / blood; Blood Glucose; Blood Proteins; Blood Urea Nitrogen; Creatine Kinase / blood; Creatinine / blood; Diet / veterinary; Electrolytes / blood; Elephants / physiology; Female; Male; Minerals / chemistry; Nutritional Status; Seasons; Serum Albumin; Sex Factors
TL;DR:
Findings suggest that exogenous vitamin E supplements may not be necessary with a mixed feedstuff diet based on circulating values, and offer updated information on circulating reference values and novel circulating concentrations of nutrients for Southeastern US managed African elephants that can be used to inform nutritional and health management in all similar habitats.

Increasing browse and social complexity can improve zoo elephant welfare
ZOO BIOLOGY, 40(1), 9–19.
author keywords: behavior; diet; ex situ; Loxodonta africana; management; social
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animal Welfare; Animals; Animals, Zoo / physiology; Appetitive Behavior; Behavior, Animal; Diet / veterinary; Elephants / physiology; Female; Male; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
It is found that increasing browse can improve opportunities for foraging throughout the day but may not be sufficient to reduce repetitive behaviors, and increasing group size and integration of bulls with cows can lead to increased social interaction in African elephants.

Analyses of African elephant ( Loxodonta africana ) diet with various browse and pellet inclusion levels
Zoo Biology, 39(1), 37–50.
author keywords: forages; nutrients; pachyderm; zoo
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Husbandry; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Animals, Zoo; Diet / veterinary; Elephants / physiology; Female; Male
TL;DR:
Seasonal data on the nutrient levels of Southeastern browse species important for various pachyderm and herbivorous species is provided and predicted nutrient intake with new diet scenarios does not support the exclusion of pellets in the diets of African elephants without greater browse quantity availability, strict diet management, or additional supplements.

An assessment of tree availability as a possible cause of population declines in scavenging raptors
JOURNAL OF AVIAN BIOLOGY, 49(1).
TL;DR:
It is concluded that on a landscape scale, tree availability is not a limiting factor for any of the species considered here (White-backed, Lappet-faced, White-headed vultures, and Tawny eagles).
