Journal Article
Teixeira, C., de Azevedo, C., Mendl, M., Cipreste, C., & Young, R. (2007). Revisiting translocation and reintroduction programmes: the importance of considering stress. Animal Behaviour, 73(1), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2006.06.002

It is widely known that the adverse effects of stress must be considered in animal conservation programmes. However, a full consideration of how and where stress occurs in animal conservation programmes has not been undertaken, especially in transloc...

Secret lives of maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus Illiger 1815): as revealed by GPS tracking collars (2006)
Journal Article
de Melo, L., Sabato, M., Magni, E., Young, R., & Coelho, M. (2007). Secret lives of maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus Illiger 1815): as revealed by GPS tracking collars. Journal of Zoology, 271(1), 27-36. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7998.2006.00176.x

The maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus is a nocturnal and shy species, which has proven difficult to study in the field; consequently, data about its behavioural biology are almost absent from the scientific literature. However, recent advances in glob... Read More about Secret lives of maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus Illiger 1815): as revealed by GPS tracking collars.

A note on the effect of the full moon on the activity of wild maned wolves,< i> Chrysocyon brachyurus</i> (2006)
Journal Article
Sabato, M., de Melo, L., Magni, E., Young, R., & Coelho, C. (2006). A note on the effect of the full moon on the activity of wild maned wolves,< i> Chrysocyon brachyurus. Behavioural Processes, 73(2), 228-230. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2006.05.012

It is well established in the scientific literature that animal prey species reduce their activity at times of high predation risk. In the case of nocturnal animals this occurs when there is a full moon; however, the response of predators to the chan...

Behavioural responses of captive-born greater rheas Rhea americana Linnaeus (Rheiformes, Rheidae) submitted to antipredator training (2006)
Journal Article
de Azevedo, C., & Young, R. (2006). Behavioural responses of captive-born greater rheas Rhea americana Linnaeus (Rheiformes, Rheidae) submitted to antipredator training. #Journal not on list, 23(1), https://doi.org/10.1590/S0101-81752006000100010

Human activities have been diminishing greater rhea Rhea americana (Linnaeus, 1758) populations throughout their natural distribution. The reintroductions of captive-born greater rheas have been tried but without success; since the individuals reintr...

Do captive-born greater rheas Rhea americana Linnaeus (Rheiformes, Rheidae) remember antipredator training? (2006)
Journal Article

The antipredator training is a powerful tool now being used to help the reintroduced animals to recognise and escape from their predators. Testing the memory capacity of the animals after antipredator training is important to evaluate if the applicat...

Shyness and boldness in greater rheas Rhea americana Linnaeus (Rheiformes, Rheidae): the effects of antipredator training on the personality of the birds (2006)
Journal Article

The shy-bold continuum is an axis of behavioural variation for some species, but the consequences of shyness and boldness in antipredatory behaviour is unknown. Bold animals have the tendency to be predated first after release in comparison to shy an...

Marsupials from space: fluctuating asymmetry, geographical information systems and animal conservation (2006)
Journal Article
Teixeira, C., Hirsch, A., Perini, H., & Young, R. (2006). Marsupials from space: fluctuating asymmetry, geographical information systems and animal conservation. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1589), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2005.3386

We report the development of a new quantitative method of assessing the effects of anthropogenic impacts on living beings; this method allows us to assess actual impacts and to travel backwards in time to assess impacts. In this method, we have cross... Read More about Marsupials from space: fluctuating asymmetry, geographical information systems and animal conservation.
