This study shows how investigation of a wider range of visitor variables may allow for more meaningful conclusions about the visitor effect, and that other factors such as enclosure design and habituation to visitors may also influence captive animal welfare.
(2014) investigated this problem focusing on female mating strategy and how mate choice can influence captive breeding.
We review the theoretical and empirical literature and consider how female mate choice might influence captive breeding in the context of current genetic guidelines for different sexual selection theories (i.e., direct benefits, good genes, compatible genes, sexy sons).
Iran denies any influence, but captive Shiite terrorists admit to being recruited by Iranian agents and being transported into Iran for training.
Moreover, companies can influence the way their captives invest, and how much reinsurance they buy.Captives are in vogue today because some companies have little choice but to carry their own risk: last year 108 new captives were founded in Bermuda alone, more than double the number set up in 2000.
It isn't clear whether the captives have influenced American bombing plans.
Individual heterozygosity may be influenced by historical captive breeding as relatedness of individuals, particularly of the original founders, has not always been known and any breeding of related individuals would be expected to lead to a loss of heterozygosity.
Probably not, but this does highlight the idea that filmmakers might be captive to the influences and whims of headset and input designers as the tech evolves.
A description of husbandry practices at the facility was undertaken by officials from the Ghanaian Wildlife Division in cooperation with the owner, focusing on animal housing, turnover, shipping, and other practices that could have influenced virus transmission among captive animals.
These effects might influence the fitness of captive-reared fish if their mothers had experienced a period of time in the hatchery, as environmental variation in the captive environment (relative to the natural environment) may elicit plastic changes in reproductive investment.
The present study focused on westernmost North Carolina because this region is remote and represents an essentially captive rural health care market where outside influences are unlikely to play a major role.
