| curious creatures: a multi-taxa investigation of responses to novelty in a zoo environment. | the personality trait of curiosity has been shown to increase welfare in humans. if this positive welfare effect is also true for non-humans, animals with high levels of curiosity may be able to cope better with stressful situations than their conspecifics. before discoveries can be made regarding the effect of curiosity on an animal's ability to cope in their environment, a way of measuring curiosity across species in different environments must be created to standardise testing. to determine t ... | 2018 | 29568703 |
| functional morphology of the upper and lower eyelids, third eyelid, lacrimal gland and superficial gland of the third eyelid in the red kangaroo (macropus rufus). | a study concerning the upper (ue) and lower (le) eyelids, lacrimal gland (lg), superficial gland of the third eyelid (sgte) and third eyelid (te) was conducted on 4 sexually mature red kangaroos (2 males and 2 females). gross anatomical, histological, histometrical, histochemical and ultrastructural (tem) components were compared. tissue sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, azan-trichrome, van gieson, masson-goldner trichrome, methyl green-pyronin y, periodic acid-schiff, alcian bl ... | 2019 | 29847077 |
| the red kangaroo pericardium as a material source for the manufacture of percutaneous heart valves. | the kangaroo pericardium might be considered to be a good candidate material for use in the manufacture of the leaflets of percutaneous heart valves based upon the unique lifestyle. the diet consists of herbs, forbs and strubs. the kangaroo pericardium holds an undulated structure of collagen. | 2019 | 30638803 |
| in vitro binding of cefovecin to plasma proteins in australian marsupials and plasma concentrations of cefovecin following single subcutaneous administration to koalas (phascolarctos cinereus). | cefovecin has a long duration of antibiotic activity in cats and dogs, somewhat attributable to its high plasma protein binding. | 2019 | 30809814 |
| morphological and molecular diagnosis of eimeria sp. that caused fatality in a red-necked wallaby (macropus rufogriseus) in korea. | a red-necked wallaby (macropus rufogriseus) in the republic of korea, introduced from australia, died in 12 d after exhibiting anorexia and diarrhea. postmortem examination revealed that the wallaby died due to coccidiosis by eimeria sp. morphologically, eimeria sp. identified closely resembled e. mykytowyczi. the 18s rrna sequence analysis showed that eimeria sp. identified in this study has a 98.5% identity with that in australian red kangaroo (m. rufus). however, owing to insufficient molecul ... | 2019 | 30980896 |
| a general framework for modeling population abundance data. | time-series data resulting from surveying wild animals are often described using state-space population dynamics models, in particular with gompertz, beverton-holt, or moran-ricker latent processes. we show how hidden markov model methodology provides a flexible framework for fitting a wide range of models to such data. this general approach makes it possible to model abundance on the natural or log scale, include multiple observations at each sampling occasion and compare alternative models usi ... | 2020 | 31342508 |
| bilateral radial and ulnar fractures in a red kangaroo (macropus rufus). | an 11-month-old sexually intact male red kangaroo (macropus rufus) was examined because of bilateral radial and ulnar fractures. | 2019 | 31573862 |
| gastric and caecal amoebiasis in a red kangaroo (macropus rufus) with disseminated toxoplasmosis. | a 1-year-old male red kangaroo (macropus rufus) with an acute clinical history of lethargy, depression and increased respiratory rate was presented for necropsy examination. gross lesions in the digestive tract were a distended stomach with watery content and multifocal raised ulcers covered by fibrinous pseudomembranes in the forestomach and caecum. on histopathology, there was necrotizing and ulcerative gastritis and typhlitis with intralesional amoebic trophozoites and toxoplasma gondii zoite ... | 2019 | 31690409 |
