Journal Article
Duarte, M., & Young, R. (2011). Sleeping site selection by urban marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) under conditions of exceptionally high predator density. International Journal of Primatology, 32, 329-334. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-010-9468-5

Domestic cats are known to kill small mammals and birds, and represent a predatory threat to all small wildlife. We investigated whether a high cat density affects the choice of sleeping sites of urban marmosets (Callithrix penicillata). One group of...

Role of Brazilian zoos in ex situ bird conservation: from 1981 to 2005 (2010)
Journal Article
Azevedo, C., Young, R., & Rodrigues, M. (2011). Role of Brazilian zoos in ex situ bird conservation: from 1981 to 2005. Zoo Biology, 30(6), 655-671. https://doi.org/10.1002/zoo.20361

Zoos may play an important role in conservation when they maintain and breed large numbers of animals that are threatened with extinction. Bird conservation is in a privileged situation owing to the extensive biological information available about th...

Time--activity budget of greater rheas (Rhea americana, Aves) on a human-disturbed area: the role of habitat, time of the day, season and group size (2010)
Journal Article
de Azevedo, C., Ferraz, J., Tinoco, H., Young, R., & Rodrigues, M. (2010). Time--activity budget of greater rheas (Rhea americana, Aves) on a human-disturbed area: the role of habitat, time of the day, season and group size. Acta ethologica, 13, 109-117. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10211-010-0080-7

The aim of this study was to evaluate activity–time budget, habitat use and how seasonality and group size influence the expression of greater rhea behaviours. Greater rheas are threatened South American birds; habitat loss, predation and hunting are...

How to Develop a Zoo-Based Environmental Enrichment Program: Incorporating Environmental Enrichment into Exhibits (2010)
Journal Article
Cipreste, C., de Azevedo, C., & Young, R. (2010). How to Develop a Zoo-Based Environmental Enrichment Program: Incorporating Environmental Enrichment into Exhibits. #Journal not on list,

Research, conservation, leisure, and education are the main goals of zoos. To achieve these aims, zoos need to maintain a high level of animal welfare. One action undertaken to improve the psychological aspects of the captive animal’s life has bee...
