Abstract

Summary: Wild animals under human care as well as domesticated farm production animals are often exposed to environmental changes (e.g., capture and transportation). Short-term or acute changes in physiological indices (e.g., heart rate, respiration, body temperatures, immune cells, and stress hormonal biomarkers) provide crucial information regarding the responses of animals to novel environments, and they could provide crucial determining factors for the long-term health and welfare of animals. This Special Issue includes experimental research papers that demonstrate the applications of physiological indices and welfare assessment methods (e.g., morphological and morphometric data, behavioural assessments, thermal profiles, and physiological markers) in any wildlife or production animal (e.g., rescued and rehabilitating animals, pets, competition animals, farm animals, and zoo animals), in response to environmental and management related factors. The goal is to provide examples of new research and techniques that can be used to monitor short- and long-term environmental adaptation of animals under human care.

7. Nature of the borderland.

Author

Shin, Leo K.

Abstract

The northeastern part [of Guangxi] is civilized. Its air is pure and fine. As a result, its people are refined and cultured. The southwestern part is uncivilized. … Its air is malarial. As a result, its people are ferocious and crude. Some time during the tenth year of the reign of the Chenghua emperor (1474 in conventional rendering), a certain Li Zongxian of Changzhou prefecture (Southern Metropolitan Region) was handed the unenviable assignment of serving as prefect of Xunzhou in central Guangxi. Unless Li was exceptionally brilliant or especially unfortunate, the prefect-designate was probably in his late twenties or early thirties in 1460 when he obtained the much-esteemed metropolitan graduate (jin shi) degree. It is unclear what Li's earlier appointments had been or how well he had performed in those capacities, but as he was ranked a middling 62 (out of 156) in the metropolitan examinations, it was unlikely he would have been placed on a career fast track in the Ming officialdom. Although the post of prefect was accompanied by a respectable rank of 4a (on a descending scale from 1a to 9b), it is not difficult to imagine how disappointed Li Zongxian must have been, especially when one realizes that the prefecture of Xunzhou had been the site of major clashes between the Ming military and the local “Yao” population less than a decade earlier and that neither his predecessor nor successor for the position even possessed the jin shi degree.

Abstract

The article focuses on the tigers indicated as the world's biggest and heaviest cats. Tigers are easy to recognize because of their stripes that can be brown, gray of black with most of them having over 100 stripes. Tigers live in different habitats ranging from open grasslands to swamps and the habitat always has three features which include a good cover, close to water and with plenty of prey.

Abstract

The article lists various endangered animals. Only about 6,000 tigers still live in the wild. The biggest threat to the world's biggest cat is illegal hunting for body parts used in traditional Chinese medicines. Orangutans once lived throughout the rain forests of southeast Asia, but logging and the illegal pet trade reduced their numbers in the wild by 90 percent in the 20th century. As few as 1,000 giant pandas remain in the mountains of southwest China. The leatherback sea turtles are facing extinction.
