Validating the use of oral swabs for telomere length assessment in dogs (2020)
Journal Article
Dutra, L., Souza, F., Friberg, I., Araújo, M., Vasconcellos, A., & Young, R. (2020). Validating the use of oral swabs for telomere length assessment in dogs. Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research, 40, 16-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jveb.2020.07.011

The relative telomere length, a biomarker of cellular aging, can be influenced by the cumulative effects of positive and negative events experienced by an individual. For this reason, it has been used to assess the welfare of nonhuman species. Ensuri... Read More about Validating the use of oral swabs for telomere length assessment in dogs.

Impacts of noise pollution on the agonistic interactions of the saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola Linnaeus, 1766) (2020)
Journal Article
de Oliveira Passos, M., Beirão, M., Midamegbe, A., Duarte, R., Young, R., & de Azevedo, C. (2020). Impacts of noise pollution on the agonistic interactions of the saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola Linnaeus, 1766). Behavioural Processes, 180, 104222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104222

Impacts of noise pollution are recognized as a source of stress for animals and as a form of environmental degradation. Behavioural changes associated with noise, such as reduction of reproductive success, reduction in feeding behaviour, increase in...

A global review of animal translocation programs (2020)
Journal Article
Resende, P., Viana–Junior, A., Young, R., & de Azevedo, C. (2020). A global review of animal translocation programs. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 43(2), 221-232. https://doi.org/10.32800/abc.2020.43.0221

We performed a bibliometric analysis to investigate the efficiency of release techniques (soft and hard–release), to analyse the characteristics and outcomes of the translocation programs, to identify knowledge gaps, and to provide recommendations. A... Read More about A global review of animal translocation programs.

How does captivity affect skin colour reflectance of golden mantella frogs? (2020)
Journal Article
Figueiredo Passos, L., Garcia, G., & Young, R. (2020). How does captivity affect skin colour reflectance of golden mantella frogs?. Herpetological journal, 30(1), 13-19. https://doi.org/10.33256/hj30.1.1319

Coloration is an important trait for social communication in amphibians, being used in intra- and intersexual signalling to express information about individual body condition and health state, amongst other things. The striking colour pattern exhibi... Read More about How does captivity affect skin colour reflectance of golden mantella frogs?.

Is mare sexual behavior affected by age and can it predict ovulation? (2020)
Journal Article

Although discontinued with the introduction of ultrasonography, the study of mare sexual behavior may provide useful information for herds that lack technical assistance. In order to investigate how mare sexual behavior is associated with ovulation a... Read More about Is mare sexual behavior affected by age and can it predict ovulation?.

Systematics, biogeography and conservation of Bald Uakaris (Cacajao Lesson, 1840) (2020)
Thesis
Silva, F. Systematics, biogeography and conservation of Bald Uakaris (Cacajao Lesson, 1840). (Thesis). University of Salford

Uakaris, genus Cacajao, possess adaptations to their unripe seed-focused diet and habitat preference for Amazonian flooded forest habitats. These include large procumbent canines (shared by the other 2 Pitheciinae, Chiropotes and Pithecia, large home...
