In this study, we investigated travel captivity from the perspective of travel satisfaction. Using survey data from 565 commuters in Portland, Oregon, we compared satisfaction with the most recent commute trip (using the chosen mode) and hypothetical commute satisfaction if using an alternative mode. The difference in travel satisfaction between the chosen and alternative mode - referred to as the travel satisfaction gap - was used as a ...
The effect of long term captivity is a factor that is important for all research utilizing wild caught animals. Despite the fact that it can be considered to be one of the most fundamental potential sources of stress in captivity, it has received a low amount of interest in recent research on lizards. Given the wide variety in ecology and life history among lizards species, it would make sense to investigate the effect of long term captivity on ...
The chapter aims to restore a balance in zoological garden studies, where animals paradoxically are almost absent. In line with the recent development of historical works paying attention to animals in themselves, this chapter tries to decentre human concerns in order to shed light on animals’ lives by analysing a particular case study, that is, the history of captive primates (whose taxonomic proximity to humans has encouraged intimate ...

The objective of this study was to establish a history of feeding and dietary husbandry of pangolin in captivity. Over the past 150 years, several zoos have attempted to maintain pangolins (Manis spp). Most of these zoos have not succeeded in maintaining these animals for long periods, associated largely with dietary problems. This study reviews the historic records of captive pangolins. The dietary husbandry of pangolins in Taipei Zoo is ...
