Enclosure choice and well‐being in giant pandas: is it all about control? (2005, background): “To varying degrees these efforts seem to have paid off in terms of increased reproductive output in the species [ Zhang et al., 2004; Swaisgood, Zhang et al., in press].”
Environmental enrichment as a strategy for mitigating stereotypies in zoo animals: a literature review and meta-analysis. (2006, background): “From these initial insights researchers continued to expand the enrichment programme, often adapting it to the needs of individual animals that still failed to reproduce (Zhang et al., 2004).”
Wildlife conservation and animal temperament: causes and consequences of evolutionary change for captive, reintroduced, and wild populations (2006, background): “Even when closely managing breeding through the use of artificial insemination and studbooks, stress related to temperament differences may directly interfere with pregnancies (Zhang, Swaisgood & Zhang, 2004) or offspring survival (Korhonen, Jauhiainen & Rekilä, 2002; Cleveland et al., 2004; Zhang e”
