Research overview: enclosure environment and reproductive function in captive felids
OverviewThe physical environment of an enclosure, including space, complexity, seclusion, and the ability to avoid disturbance, influences the reproductive function of captive cats. This overview surveys how…
Research overview: fecal glucocorticoids as indicators of reproductive stress in felids
OverviewMeasuring glucocorticoid stress hormones in feces provides a noninvasive way to assess how stress relates to reproductive function in cats. This overview surveys the use of fecal glucocorticoid monito…
Research overview: ovulation failure and ovarian inactivity in captive felids
OverviewMany captive cats, notably cheetahs and clouded leopards, undergo prolonged periods of ovarian inactivity in which they neither cycle nor ovulate, undermining breeding programs. This overview examines…
Research overview: personality and temperament in the management of captive wild felids
OverviewIndividual cats differ consistently in boldness, fearfulness, aggressiveness and sociability, and these stable traits affect welfare, breeding success and how animals respond to husbandry. This overvi…
Research overview: validating faecal cortisol metabolite assays in captive felids
OverviewFaecal glucocorticoid metabolite monitoring is the workhorse of felid stress research because it avoids the confound of capture and restraint, but it requires species-specific validation to be meaning…
