Journal Article
Allen Wild, C., & Yon, L. (2024). Commentary on the Adaptive Significance of Sociality Around Parturition Events, and Conspecific Support of Parturient Females in Some Social Mammals. Animals, 14(24), Article 3601. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14243601

In recent decades, it has become apparent that during parturition events in a number of social mammals, social support behaviours from group mates can be directed to parturient females (and their newborn neonates). Such behaviour has been documented...

Testosterone variation in a semi-captive population of Asian elephants in Myanmar (2024)
Journal Article
Moullec, H., Berger, V., Santos, D. J., Ukonaho, S., Yon, L., Briga, M., Nyein, U. K., Lummaa, V., & Reichert, S. (2024). Testosterone variation in a semi-captive population of Asian elephants in Myanmar. Conservation Physiology, 12(1), Article coae076. https://doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae076

Hormones are known to be involved in life-history trade-offs as systemic signals that establish functional links among traits and regulate key behavioural and physiological transitions between states in organisms. Although major functions of many ste... Read More about Testosterone variation in a semi-captive population of Asian elephants in Myanmar.

Trace metal accumulation through the environment and wildlife at two derelict lead mines in Wales (2024)
Journal Article
Sartorius, A., Johnson, M. F., Young, S., Bennett, M., Baiker, K., Edwards, P., & Yon, L. (2024). Trace metal accumulation through the environment and wildlife at two derelict lead mines in Wales. Heliyon, 10(14), Article e34265. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34265

Trace metal pollution is globally widespread, largely resulting from human activities. Due to the persistence and high toxicity of trace metals, these pollutants can have serious effects across ecosystems. However, few studies have directly assessed...

Wildlife corridor degradation and human-wildlife conflict: a case study from Tanzania (2024)
Journal Article
Elisa, M., Caro, T., Yon, L., Hardy, I. C. W., Roberts, S., & Symeonakis, E. (2024). Wildlife corridor degradation and human-wildlife conflict: a case study from Tanzania. African Journal of Ecology, 62(2), Article e13264. https://doi.org/10.1111/aje.13264

In many African countries, anthropogenic pressure and poor governance have led to the degradation of wildlife corridors, which are important for the long‐term viability of wildlife populations. Yet the nature of such degradation is poorly understood,... Read More about Wildlife corridor degradation and human-wildlife conflict: a case study from Tanzania.

Ensuring high standards of animal welfare is not only an ethical duty for zoos and aquariums, but it is also essential to achieve their conservation, education, and research goals. While for some species, animal welfare assessment frameworks are alre...
