Perspectives on the Continuum of Wild to Captive Behaviour
Historically, we have characterized the environments primates live in and that we observe them in as ‘wild’ and ‘captive’. We assumed that primates...

Metagenomic insights into the differences in gastrointestinal microbe-mediated metabolism and immunity between wild and captive spotted seals (Phoca largha)
Understanding metabolic and immune functional genes in the gut microbiota of sentinel species, such as spotted seals ( Phoca largha ), is essential for...

Changes of gut microbiota diversity and stability over the reproduction process in captive female Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua)
Homeostasis of gut microbiota is critical for growth and health of animals. However, the impact of reproduction on penguin gut microbiota remains...

Maternal parity influences the birth sex ratio and birth interval of captive Francois’ langur (Trachypithecus francoisi)
AbstractThe age and parity of female primates could reflect their physical condition and reproductive experience. Consequently, the individual...

Wild and captive immature orangutans differ in their non-vocal communication with others, but not with their mothers
AbstractIn many group-living species, individuals are required to flexibly modify their communicative behaviour in response to current social...
