Blood Fatty Acid Profiles of Neiritic Juvenile Wild Green Turtles (Chelonia Mydas) and Kemp's Ridleys (Lepidochelys Kempii)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 52(2), 610–617.
Contributors: n, L. Minter n, K. Ange-Van Heugten n , J. Mejia-Fava n & C. Harms n
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Wild / blood; Fatty Acids / blood; Female; Male; Species Specificity; Turtles / blood; Turtles / genetics
TL;DR:
W whole blood fatty acid profiles generally correlate to previous work with lipid depots, supporting the use of this less invasive methodology to advance the understanding of fatty acid nutrition of sea turtles.

Cane toad ( Rhinella marina ) vitamin A, vitamin E, and carotenoid kinetics
Zoo Biology, 41(1), 34–43.
author keywords: amphibian; free-ranging; nutrition
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Zoo; Bufo marinus; Carotenoids; Euthanasia, Animal; Humans; Kinetics; Plant Breeding; Vitamin A; Vitamin E
TL;DR:
The results from this study indicate that additional or alternative diet supplementation may be needed for cane toads (and potentially other amphibians) to mimic their free-ranging diets.

URINARY CORTICOSTERONE CONCENTRATIONS IN FREE-RANGING AND MANAGED CANE TOADS (RHINELLA MARINA)
JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE, 52(4), 1234–1240.
MeSH headings : Amphibians; Animals; Bufo marinus; Corticosterone; Stress, Physiological
TL;DR:
Corticosterone was lower in cane toads under managed care compared with those sampled in the wild, suggesting that managed care is not a stressor for this species.

Analysis of Fatty Acid Profiles in Eastern Box (Terrapene Carolina Carolina) and Common Snapping (Chelydra Serpentine) Turtles for Wild and Managed Care Environments
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 51(3), 478–484.
Contributors: K. Dass n, *, L. Minter* & K. Ange-Van Heugten n
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Wild / metabolism; Animals, Zoo / metabolism; Fatty Acids / metabolism; Turtles; Veterinary Medicine
TL;DR:
Fatty acids are useful for many important biological functions including proper immune system regulation, and therefore, the present research provides medically relevant data for reptile diagnostics and may help further improve diets of all chelonians kept in managed care, regardless of species.

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, *, C. Kendall* , 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.

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.
