Rhinos in the Parks: An Island-Wide Survey of the Last Wild Population of the Sumatran Rhinoceros
In the 200 years since the Sumatran rhinoceros was first scientifically described (Fisher 1814), the range of the species has contracted from a broad region in Southeast Asia to three areas on the island of Sumatra and one in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Assessing population and spatial distribution of this very rare species is challenging because of their elusiveness and very low population number. ...
متن کاملReproductive behaviour of captive Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis).
The Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) is on the verge of extinction in Malaysia. At the Sumatran rhinoceros Conservation Centre in Sungai Dusun, the reproductive behaviour of two female and two male rhinoceroses were studied for 8-10 months during attempts to breed them in captivity. Due to the paucity of scientific information on the reproductive biology of the Sumatran rhinoceros...
متن کاملPhytoestrogen binding capacity to in vitro produced southern white rhino estrogen receptors. A comparison of native and captive feeds
The southern white rhinoceros population in captivity has a disappointing reproductive rate and the reason behind this is unknown. On the contrary, the wild population has grown steadily over the last two decades and is still growing. In captivity, white rhinos are given a diet of mainly alfalfa and soy-based products, which contains high concentrations of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are kno...
متن کاملGenomic Analysis of Demographic History and Ecological Niche Modeling in the Endangered Sumatran Rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sumatrensis
The vertebrate extinction rate over the past century is approximately 22-100 times greater than background extinction rates [1], and large mammals are particularly at risk [2, 3]. Quaternary megafaunal extinctions have been attributed to climate change [4], overexploitation [5], or a combination of the two [6]. Rhinoceroses (Family: Rhinocerotidae) have a rich fossil history replete with iconic...
متن کاملAlkaline phosphatase as an indicator of true ejaculation in the rhinoceros.
The objective was to determine if seminal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) can serve as an indicator of true ejaculation in the rhinoceros. Concentrations of ALP activity were determined in seminal fractions collected from African black rhinos (Diceros bicornis), an African white rhino (Ceratotherium simum), and an Indian rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) during electroejaculation. In addition, seminal fr...
