A breeding population established at Marwell Zoo, UK, contributed to the re-establishment of 26 populations of Sand lizards at heathland and coastal dune sites across southern England as part of a wider multi-stakeholder response to reverse the decline of the species. Knowledge about the biology of Sand lizards was accrued during the process, which helped to refine the management of the breeding population that was maintained in a naturalistic setting within the indigenous range of the species. These successes were underpinned by coordinated collaborative actions and long-term institutional commitments against a backdrop of considerable change in the statutory framework governing Sand lizard conservation. The management of this project was not without cost or risk, including protection of valuable founder stock, incomplete knowledge about the health and disease status of Sand lizards, intrinsic constraints of limited founder representation, and the challenges of monitoring this elusive species post release.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"87-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oral anti-hyperglycaemic drugs are the first line of therapy for T2DM along with dietary changes. There are no reports of the successful use of oral anti-hyperglycaemic medication in callitrichids. Here, we describe the diagnosis of five cases of T2DM in callitrichids at ZSL London Zoo, UK, based on persistent hyperglycaemia, glucosuria and elevated blood-serum fructosamine. The stabilization and long-term management of T2DM using oral anti-hyperglycaemic medication are reported. Treatment with metformin monotherapy was successful in controlling and maintaining normoglycaemia in three individuals for between 4 and 6 years. The addition of glipizide was required to achieve glycaemic control in a fourth animal. A fifth animal was refractory to treatment. Compliance was good and no side effects were seen. Based on these findings, we suggest that anti-hyperglycaemic drugs, together with appropriate dietary changes, can be effective in the long-term treatment of T2DM in callitrichids.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"258-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12154","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By 1995, only an estimated 51 Antiguan racers survived on an offshore islet (Great Bird Island: 8·4 ha), many of which had injuries consistent with rat bites. To prevent extinction, a consortium of national and international organizations eradicated the Black rats Rattus rattus from Great Bird Island in 1995 and the snake population promptly doubled in size. The agencies then embarked on a programme to eradicate invasive rats and, where present, Small Asian mongooses Herpestes javanicus from a further 14 islands around Antigua. The first reintroduction was carried out in November 1999, with ten wild racers translocated from Great Bird Island to Rabbit Island. Further reintroductions followed to Green Island (from October 2002) and York Island (from January 2008), bringing the total area of occupancy for racers to 63 ha. The translocated racers appeared to thrive in their new habitats and reproduced almost immediately. The reintroduction programme was underpinned by field research, fundraising and an innovative education campaign to address prevailing negative attitudes towards snakes. While the Antiguan racer metapopulation has increased to > 1100 individuals in the wild, lasting success depends on Great Bird, Rabbit, Green and York Islands being fully protected from invasive mammals and harmful developments. To spread the risk, additional reintroduction sites must be identified.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"97-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12153","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to describe and contrast the differing introductions and discuss their appropriateness for specific locations. Because of its rarity locally and lack of funding for a large-scale project, live transport of M. maculatus was a simple, cheap and quick method of introducing the grasshopper to a single receptor site in 2009. To date, the site has continued to support a small breeding population of the grasshopper, which is spreading across the dunes away from its release site. The legally protected status, vulnerability and national rarity of G. borelii lunata resulted in a landscape-scale project involving the creation of new areas of habitat by establishing the larval food plant for the species at suitable sites, commenced on the north-east Essex coast in 2006. The aim of this project was to create a network of interconnected sites away from the threats of coastal inundation, thereby securing the future of G. borelii lunata in the UK. From 2008 onwards, a captive-breeding programme was established at Colchester Zoo, UK, to provide live stock for the Fisher's estuarine moth introduction programme. At the time of writing, 27 new areas of habitat have been created for G. borelii lunata and 20 of these areas were shown to support signs of the moth's larval feeding in 2015. The moth was directly established using stock from the captive-breeding programme at six of the 20 sites.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"69-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12148","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This means that the delineation between extensive wildlife-management systems (e.g. in national parks or large wildlife reserves) and intensive systems (e.g. zoos and aquariums) is becoming increasingly blurred. Furthermore, attitudes about how people fit into a traditional conservation or ecosystem-restoration framework are being challenged. In partnership with the Rotoroa Island Trust, Auckland Zoo in New Zealand is delivering a project on Rotoroa Island, which is located in the Hauraki Gulf. The aim of this project is to contribute to the conservation of wildlife, through education, training and visitor-engagement activities. To this end, Auckland Zoo has translocated seven native species to the Island, all selected to demonstrate a range of techniques across the spectrum of intensive and extensive wildlife-management systems. The creation of a designed ecosystem, primarily directed towards servicing education and training programmes, is unique in New Zealand. This project also aims to demonstrate an ecosystem where human intervention is integral to enabling higher levels of biodiversity in the available area than would otherwise be possible. At the time of writing the Rotoroa Wildlife Management and Translocation Plan 2013–2038 is being used to work towards the translocation of an additional 13 species to Rotoroa Island, which would expand the number of techniques and management systems that could be demonstrated to visitors.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"175-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12145","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The welfare of the animals in human care is paramount and also necessary if Taronga's vision is to be achieved. The aim of embedding animal welfare into staff culture is intended to ensure that, at all times, the needs, interests and well-being of the animals in our care are of primary concern. Over the past few years, Taronga has been working to define what is meant by good animal welfare in zoological institutions and develop a more effective approach to achieving this. The Taronga Animal Welfare Programme began in 2011. This included carrying out staff surveys and workshops, developing a charter, policies and procedures, and embarking on a process of engagement with staff and non-governmental animal-welfare organizations.

Many zoos and aquariums now operate such facilities under the One Plan approach, which integrates in situ and ex situ efforts with disease management, research and education elements. Perth Zoo, Australia, has been using such an approach since the late 1980s and has demonstrated success by producing large numbers (n = 3841) of animals from 11 species for release to the wild as part of coordinated species-recovery programmes, operated with key government and non-governmental partners. Managing a multi-species breeding facility has been made possible by having dedicated staff caring for the animals, establishing a science-based approach to all aspects of husbandry, and regularly publishing key results and lessons learned from those efforts. The longer-term success of the programme has been dependent on the continuous support of the board and executive of Perth Zoo, and the embedding of a conservation ethos into strategic documents, education programmes and media communications with the wider public. Funding a long-term programme has not been without its difficulties, and a flexible and adaptive approach to seeking and securing funding has been necessary.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"165-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12150","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study comprised 60 hours of behavioural observations: 30 with and 30 without visitors in front of the monkeys’ enclosure. Data on the behaviour of capuchins were collected from March to June 2011 using focal sampling with instantaneous recording of behaviour every minute. Results showed that the responses to visitors varied between individuals for almost all behaviours; undesirable behaviours decreased for two capuchins when public were present but increased for one female. Behaviours such as ‘self-grooming’ and ‘social interactions’ (e.g. fights, allogrooming) increased, showing that the behaviour of the capuchins altered in the presence of visitors. At BH Zoo the public often interacted with the capuchins. Whether the visitors were acting as enrichment factors or stressors for the capuchins is inconclusive, because the overall behavioural responses of the capuchins varied. In conclusion, to reduce visitor-induced stress responses for the individuals affected by them, a public-education programme, to reduce human–capuchin interactions, should be introduced at BH Zoo.","PeriodicalId":92961,"journal":{"name":"The International zoo yearbook","volume":"51 1","pages":"215-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/izy.12147","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62728479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
