AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ZOO VETERINARIANS “Dedicated to wildlife health and conservation” 581705 White Oak Road Yulee, Florida, 32097 904-225-3275 Fax 904-225-3289 Dear Esteemed Colleagues, Welcome to warm and sunny Orlando for the 46th annual gathering of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV) for fun, frivolity and some very, very serious learning. This year we will continue the long standing tradition of providing an outstanding educational program to expand your minds and enhance your skills in order to benefit the endangered species, and the more common ones, that we care for. The AAZV has been holding annual educational conferences in this challenging field for forty- five years. These meetings afford us the opportunity to share experiences, learn from each other and to deepen and broaden our knowledge base. However the AAZV is busy throughout the year providing new knowledge through the Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine as well as providing valuable services for you, our members. The organizations membership and financial status remain stable and improving a bit each year. The diverse committees of the AAZV including the executive committee, continue to work hard to keep the organization vigorous, healthy and responsive to the needs of the members. We continue to benefit from the outstanding organizational talent and hard work of Pam Brownlee, Adine Nicholson and Dr. Rob Hilsenroth working from our global headquarters at White Oak, an organization which we are deeply appreciative towards for their support. Our thanks to the scientific program committee headed up by Dr. Deena Brenner and Dr. Meg Sutherland-Smith who have put together an outstanding program of great speakers and challenging topics. Our thanks also to the American College of Zoological Medicine for sponsoring the continuing education credits for this conference. And finally our thanks to our hosts, Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a fabulous venue in which to hold our conference! Learn much, build new relationships and enjoy the camaraderie here in this great location for the 2014 AAZV Conference. Sincerely, Douglas L. Armstrong, DVM President, American Association of Zoo Veterinarians Dear Colleagues and Friends, On behalf of the Scientific Program Committee (SPC), I have the great pleasure of welcoming you to the 46th Annual Conference of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV). The members of the SPC, Jessica Siegal-Willott, Deena Brenner, Susie Bartlett, Allison Tuttle, Meg- Sutherland-Smith, and Kelly Helmick have dedicated tireless hours to make this year’s conference a success, along with our gracious local hosts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom led by Scott Terrell and Deidre Fontenot. The conference program continues to evolve each year based on your feedback. Our 27 session chairs had the arduous task of selecting from the over 251 submitted abstracts to develop 13 scientific sessions. These sessions are filled with cutting-edge presentations and represent a blend of taxa and discipline based themes. An additional 39 posters will present fascinating research and clinical medicine. As a new offering this year, a conservation session has been focused on a single taxa this year to facilitate expert commentary and discussion. This year’s focus is on bears and will change annually. Several featured speakers will present focused lectures throughout the week on important topics ranging from elephant tusk repair to anesthetic monitoring. The Advanced Topics sessions continue this year with a variety of advanced clinically relevant topics. Finally, a panel discussion will foster dialogue on the recently hot topic of management based euthanasia, followed by a featured speaker discussing the current state of zoos and aquariums in a changing media landscape. Twenty-five hours of continuing education credit is available this year, sponsored by the American College of Zoological Medicine. The 15 amazing workshops being offered this year allow for up to an additional 25 hours of credit. Drawing attention to one unique offering this year, AAZV has partnered with the Disney Institute to create a full-day leadership development workshop. This program will provide professional development focused on the non-clinical aspects of the veterinarian’s role in modern zoos and aquariums. Representing a blend of hands-on, clinical medicine and in-depth didactic presentations – we hope everyone finds a workshop that appeals to their educational needs. The SPC always welcomes your feedback through the conference survey to help us continually enhance and grow the program each year! We would like to gratefully acknowledge the tireless efforts of Rob Hilsenroth, AAZV executive director, and Adine Nicholson, Julie Fazlollah, and Pam Brownlee for their support in making this year’s conference a success. Finally, welcome to Orlando – we hope you have a wonderful time at the conference advancing your education and spending time among friends!! And don’t forget to take a moment to embrace your inner child and enjoy the magic of Disney!! We hope you return home excited about the future of our profession and the difference we can make for animal health and conservation. Warm wishes, Michael Adkesson, DVM, Dipl.

    Vocal Recruitment in Dwarf Mongooses (Helogale parvula) Janneke Rubow Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Michael I. Cherry Co-supervisor: Dr. Lynda L. Sharpe March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Janneke Rubow, March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Vocal communication is important in social vertebrates, particularly those for whom dense vegetation obscures visual signals. Vocal signals often convey secondary information to facilitate rapid and appropriate responses. This function is vital in long-distance communication. The long-distance recruitment vocalisations of dwarf mongooses (Helogale parvula) provide an ideal opportunity to study informative cues in acoustic communication. This study examined the information conveyed by two recruitment calls given in snake encounter and isolation contexts, and whether dwarf mongooses are able to respond differently on the basis of these cues. Vocalisations were collected opportunistically from four wild groups of dwarf mongooses. The acoustic parameters of recruitment calls were then analysed for distinction between contexts within recruitment calls in general, distinction within isolation calls between groups, sexes and individuals, and the individuality of recruitment calls in comparison to dwarf mongoose contact calls.

    Social Mongoose Vocal Communication: Insights Into the Emergence of Linguistic Combinatoriality

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2017 Social Mongoose Vocal Communication: Insights into the Emergence of Linguistic Combinatoriality Collier, Katie Abstract: Duality of patterning, language’s ability to combine sounds on two levels, phonology and syntax, is considered one of human language’s defining features, yet relatively little is known about its origins. One way to investigate this is to take a comparative approach, contrasting combinatoriality in animal vocal communication systems with phonology and syntax in human language. In my the- sis, I took a comparative approach to the evolution of combinatoriality, carrying out both theoretical and empirical research. In the theoretical domain, I identified some prevalent misunderstandings in re- search on the emergence of combinatoriality that have propagated across disciplines. To address these misconceptions, I re-analysed existing examples of animal call combinations implementing insights from linguistics. Specifically, I showed that syntax-like combinations are more widespread in animal commu- nication than phonology-like sequences, which, combined with the absence of phonology in some human languages, suggested that syntax may have evolved before phonology. Building on this theoretical work, I empirically explored call combinations in two species of social mongooses. I first investigated social call combinations in meerkats (Suricata suricatta), demonstrating that call combinations represented a non-negligible component of the meerkat vocal communication system and could be used flexibly across various social contexts. Furthermore, I discussed a variety of mechanisms by which these combinations could be produced. Second, I considered call combinations in predation contexts.

CONSERVATION BREEDING SPECIALIST GROUP MEASURES OF SUCCESS In recent years, evaluation has been a prevalent issue in conservation conferences and the focus of discussion within the international zoo community. It has been a topic at CBSG Annual Meetings and is a key criterion in the development of recommendations in CBSG workshops. So naturally, when reflecting on the past year, I began thinking in terms of evaluation. There are some standard parameters we can use to evaluate CBSG as an organization, including top-line parameters such as organizational longevity, staff retention, and financial status.
