Ovarian and Uterine Cysts in a Nutria
Posted in Presentations, Wild Animal Diseases on 25/04/2010 | 1 Comment »
This presentation is ment to focus on ovarian and uterine cystic disorders in general and only as clinical example the case of our Dutch-born “Kirkegaard” is given. It was actually a part of the Pathology class in the Small Animals Module in Vienna, but I thought blending wildlife into small animal practice won’t do any [...]

Minke whales as marine bushmeat – issues of molecular identification
Posted in Conservation Medicine, Presentations on 11/04/2010 | 4 Comments »
This is one of the presentations I prepared for Prof. Schwarzenberger’s course “Conservation Genetics”. It basically summarizes some of the reference papers on a certain topic. In this case: molecular identification techniques, problems and advantages in marine mammals, and specifically Minke whales.
Issues of Nonhuman Primate husbandry

After visiting the Biomedical Primate Research Centre (BPRC), Europe’s largest primate research centre, I chose primate husbandry as topic for a short presentation during the Conservation Module lectures.
Efect of Population Density, Density Dependent Regulation
Posted in Presentations on 17/06/2009 | Leave a Comment »
1. Introduction Population density is controlled by natality (+potential reproductive output), mortality (+potential/actual longevity, survivorship curves), dispersal and recruitment. Definitions and examples of basic terms are provided. 2. Population regulation Density dependent and density independent factors are defined and characterized from the point of view of populations and ecosystems that they influence. 3. Sex Ratios [...]

Field Use of Isoflurane and Air Anesthetic Equipment in Wildlife
Posted in Presentations on 25/02/2009 | Leave a Comment »
ABSTRACT Anesthesia equipment has been modified to permit the delivery of isoflurane in ambient air as the carrier and to be fitted with circuitry adaptable for different species and anesthetic situations for field operations. Preliminary empirical studies at low altitude in a range of small mammalian and avian species demonstrate the suitability of this combination [...]
Hybridisation in Wildcats
Posted in Presentations on 25/02/2009 | Leave a Comment »
Are the wildcats’ populations throughout Europe loosing the integrity of their gene pool? ABSTRACT The widespread occurrence of free-ranging domestic or feral cats in Europe is raising fear that introgressive hybridization with wildcats ( Felis silvestris) populations might disrupt local adaptations, leading to population decline and loss of biodiversity. It is difficult to make estimates [...]
Specific LH Patterns in Elephants
Posted in Presentations on 24/02/2009 | Leave a Comment »
Elephants in captivity are not self-sustaining and to manage this species better, a more complete understanding of its reproductive physiology is needed. One of the unique endocrine feature of the elephant is the ‘‘double luteinizing hormone (LH) surge,’’where two LH-peaks surges occur during the follicular phase of the cycle. How ist that posible? ABSTRACT 1.Elephants [...]
