Human commercial models’ eye colour shows negative frequency-dependent selection (2016)
Journal Article
frequency-dependent selection. PLoS ONE, 11(12), e0168458. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0168458

In this study we investigated the eye colour of human commercial models registered in the UK (400 female and 400 male) and Brazil (400 female and 400 male) to test the hypothesis that model eye colour frequency was the result of negative frequency de...

Environmental enrichment effect on fecal glucocorticoid metabolites and captive maned wolf (chrysocyon brachyurus) behavior (2016)
Journal Article
Coelho, C., de Azevedo, C., Guimarães, M., & Young, R. (2016). Environmental enrichment effect on fecal glucocorticoid metabolites and captive maned wolf (chrysocyon brachyurus) behavior. Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 19(4), 353-362. https://doi.org/10.1080/10888705.2016.1161512

Environmental enrichment is a technique that may reduce the stress of nonhuman animals in captivity. Stress may interfere with normal behavioral expression and affect cognitive decision making. Noninvasive hormonal studies can provide important info...

Do apprehended saffron finches know how to survive predators? A careful look at reintroduction candidates (2016)
Journal Article
Dutra, L., Young, R., Galdino, C., & Vasconcellos, A. (2016). Do apprehended saffron finches know how to survive predators? A careful look at reintroduction candidates. Behavioural Processes, 125, 6-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2016.01.007

Wildlife trafficking is a major factor contributing to the reduction of biological diversity. In Brazil, traf-ficked animals are apprehended by environmental agencies and released in the wild. The maintenance ofwild animals in captivity may jeopardiz... Read More about Do apprehended saffron finches know how to survive predators? A careful look at reintroduction candidates.

Evaluating patterns of human–reptile conflicts in an urban environment (2016)
Journal Article
environment. Wildlife Research, 42(7), https://doi.org/10.1071/WR15143

Context. Reptiles, especially snakes, can cause a fear reaction in the public and are, therefore, a good model to examine human–wildlife conflicts. Human city dwellers often respond to the presence of snakes or other reptiles by calling out the respo... Read More about Evaluating patterns of human–reptile conflicts in an urban environment.

The green infrastructure of a highly-urbanized neotropical city : the role of the urban vegetation in preserving native biodiversity (2016)
Journal Article
Pena, J., Magalhaes, D., Mourao, A., Young, R., & Rodrigues, M. (2016). The green infrastructure of a highly-urbanized neotropical city : the role of the urban vegetation in preserving native biodiversity. Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Arborização Urbana, 11(4), 66-78

The composition of the urban vegetation that comprises the green infrastructure of a highly urbanized Neotropical city was mapped and described in order to assess how it can be used to preserve and maintain urban biodiversity. Supervised classificati... Read More about The green infrastructure of a highly-urbanized neotropical city : the role of the urban vegetation in preserving native biodiversity.
