Previous introduction into a social group with adult females, establishment of familarity between males, kinship of several males, availability of large enclosure
Which inhalant anaesthetics are the most effective for prairie rattlesnakes ?

What are the different morohologies of monocytes in elephants? Similar to which families?
There are 3 categories of monocytes: regular, bilobed, round. Monocytes morphology unique to the Pannungulata clade (Procaviidae, Sirenia, Elephantidae)
What are the factors that can influence fecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels in Sichuan takin?
Reproductive status (increases after parturition, correlated with testosterone production), body mass, temperature, stress
What is the efficiency ofetonogestrel implants in Rodrigues fruit bats ? For how long? Where is the best place to implant them?
Etonogestrel implants (34mg) place subcutaneously between the scapulae proved 100% effective at preventing pregnancy for up to 36months.

Potassium and phosphorus
How long can healing last in reptiles? Which factor can accelerate the healing?
It can take until 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Skin wounds of reptiles have a faster healing when there are at the maximul temperature of the optimal range.
What is the diurnal pattern of cortisol secretions in elephant? Are there differences between species?
Fivefold decrease from morning peak to evening nadir concentrations for cortisol diurnal pattern in elephant. No huge differences between species.
Duration of mydriaric effect using topical rocuronium bromide in scop owls?
Around 60min. No side effects reported.
What can be the most significant predictors of inflammatory status in southern white rhinoceros?
Iron (negative apr) and haptoglobin (positive apr). Higher diagnostic accuracy with combination of decreased iron and increased haptoglobin.
Negative or positive values for CT lung radiodensity in red-footed tortoises are associated with which lung diseases?
High negative values associated with pulmonary emphysema. High positive value associated with accumulation of interstitial secretion.
Pulmonary parenchyma CT radiodensity in red-footed tortoises: -811.30+/-19.82 HU.
