Researchers will investigate costs of human-generated noise on crickets as a model for other invertebrates. Invertebrates make up more than 95% of all animal species on Earth and form the backbone of most healthy ecosystems.
Researchers will investigate the role diet and gut microbiota plays in both health and disease sensitivity in critically endangered southern black rhinoceros.
Researchers will investigate how horses are managed when transported by air to optimize their welfare, identifying factors that increase or decrease the risk of health and behavioral problems.
Researchers will investigate if live food enriched with vitamin D (by exposure to ultraviolet sunlight) can increase vitamin D and improve growth in captive animals.
