Background:Over the past few decades,antimicrobial resistance(AMR)has emerged as a global health challenge in human and veterinary medicine.Research on AMR genes in captive wild animals has increased.However,the prese...
Stable isotope analysis is a widely used method for gathering ecological insights into the diet and feeding habitats of various species. While captive studies often limit lethal sampling and differ from wild condition...
Governmental, educational, environmental and other nonprofit organizations have placed efforts on conservation action for the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii). While federal and state institution...
