Routinely: Twycross zoo and Woburn safari park Occasionally: Blackpool and Dublin zoo • Helped Chester zoo with training and purchase of reagents and equipment so that the zoo can perform the EEHV PCRs on site. This is now accomplished. 14 APHA Weybridge: Akbar Dastjerdi • Emergency diagnostic and viral load measurement for Woburn Safari Park, UK (Tarli case: EEHV-1B) and Kolmarden, Sweden (Namsai case: EEHV-1B) to help assess their therapeutic interventions. Both elephant calves have survived the infection despite developing clinical signs. • Emergency diagnostic services for two fatalities from KMDA, Belgium [Qiyo and Tarzen: EEHV-1A] and two fatalities from Tierpark zoo, Germany [Anjuli and Kanja: EEHV-1A]. • Almost finalized sequencing POL, gB, gH, gL, gO and thymidine Kinase genes of EEHVs from most fatalities in European zoos including EEHVs detected from survival cases and latent infections. This work was done as part of an undergraduate placement project by Hannah Davies. The work was presented at the International Herpesvirus Workshop (IHW) - Vancouver in July 2018 as a poster. • Purchased a software to manage its samples storage. All clinical elephant samples hold at the Weybridge are now lodged in this inventory which facilities their traceability. 15 APHA Weybridge: Akbar Dastjerdi PhD students: • Jonathan Haycock is approaching end of his 2nd year of PhD. He has been making progress assessing the use of elephant IFNs to control EEHV replication in the early stages of EEHV infection e.g. following a positive real time PCR. • Hannah Davies will be starting her PhD in October. She will be working to identify glycoprotein/protein complexes which may play a role in EEHV attachment to the cells and hence targets for a vaccine. 16 IZW – Sónia Fontes & Thomas Hildebrandt AIM: To find the factors that predict the likelihood of an elephant to die from EEHV-HD (management-related and genetics-related) ACHIEVEMENTS/PROGRESS: - Assessing a survey on growth-process of the calves (7 breeding facilities). - EEHV-HD epidemiology in Europe until 2015: 75% of EEHV-HD victims between 1.4 and 3.2 years - The probability that a death in the population is caused by EEHV is 28,8% (ranging from 18,8%-40,6%). - There is no gender correlation in this disease. 17 IZW – Sónia Fontes & Thomas Hildebrandt (cont.) ACHIEVEMENTS/PROGRESS (cont.): - Coagulation mutation Factor VII (Australia) checked in European population: 2 coagulation parameters (prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time) using fresh blood in 58 animals, in 16 zoos - Analysis of presence of the Factor VII (FVII) gene in frozen tissue (liver and myocardium) and blood for PCR and sequenciation (n=37) for detection of possible mutations in the FVII gene. 18 IZW – Sónia Fontes & Thomas Hildebrandt (cont.) Evolutionary Genetics’ Department –Dr. Jörns Fickel: • Successfully amplified and sequenced 7 out of 8 exons that constitute this gene • 10 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) – mutation points found, in 4 exons. • Primers for the missing exon were designed and are being processed now • This will hopefully result in entire gene; check for the alteration this mutations might cause in the FVII shape and activity. 19 IZW – Alex Greenwood • Large sequencing project of elephants, looking at immune gene diversity, including the data set of elephants with and without EEHV infections to see if there is an immune gene type correlation, sharing data with Paul Ling who can use the immune gene sequences to further develop his assays. • The peptides are on ice… 20 Free University Berlin – Walid Azab 1. Analyzing now the two cases that died in Hamburg zoo last month; trying to isolate the virus (or to understand this virus). 2. Investigating whether the gB-antibodies from Petra van den Doel are reactive with EEHV in cells using immunofluorescence. 3. Diagnostics and routinely monitoring calves (qPCR): 21 Free University Berlin – Walid Azab • Elephants samples (2-3 zoos routinely): Samples Positive Negative 2017 226 10 (TW) 216 2018 198 4 (TW*/swab*) 189 5 (Tissues/blood) * 1 TW and 1 swab from EEHV-HD 22 Research in Europe • Dutch EEHV working group – Artemis-OneHealth (Delft): Byron Martina (virus reactivation, gN) – Veterinary faculty (Utrecht): • Immunology (cytokines) : Victor Rutten • Pathology (IHC): Jooske IJzer – Erasmus University Rotterdam: Petra van den Doel – University of Amsterdam: Timo Breit (student paper on small RNA’s) – Kathryn Perrin (PhD-student) spent June-August 2018 at vet faculty Utrecht.

    UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING CLARE CUNNINGHAM DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY Cognitive Flexibility in Gibbons (Hylobatidae): Object Manipulation and Tool-Use Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor Dr James Anderson September 2006 1 Acknowledgements First and foremost, my thanks go to James Anderson, my supervisor during this research. I thank him for his help and support during the last three years and his considerable help in revising and editing. Also, to Hannah Buchanan-Smith whose comments and help have been invaluable. To Alan Mootnick at the Gibbon Conservation Center (GCC), California, USA, I offer my sincerest gratitude for allowing access to the gibbons and his home during data collection. I also thank Erin Bell, facility supervisor at GCC, who was most supportive during my time there. The staff and management at Twycross Zoo, West Midlands, UK, were also very helpful and accommodating. To my family and partner, I offer my thanks; although there have been times when I have been difficult to live with during the past few years, their support has been unwavering. My particular thanks go to Mark Miller for listening to me talk about gibbons and for proof reading some of this thesis. I would also like to thank the Evolutionary Psychology group at the University of Liverpool, Robin Dunbar, John Lycett, Susanne Shultz and Craig Roberts. They have been very understanding while I have been completing this thesis and willing to offer help and discussion at all times. I am also thankful to my examiners for their time in reading this work. Finally, to the gibbons who made the many hours of ape-watching enjoyable, informative and frustrating.
