Haw, Anna; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Greer, John J.; Fuller, Andrea (Wiley, 2016-09)OBJECTIVES : To determine whether CX1942 reverses respiratory depression in etorphineimmobilized goats, and to compare its effects with those of doxapram hydrochloride. STUDY DESIGN : A prospective, crossover experimental ...

Strauss, W. Maartin; Hetem, Robyn S.; Mitchell, Duncan; Maloney, Shane K.; O’Brien, Haley D.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Fuller, Andrea (Oxford University Press, 2017)Some mammals have the ability to lower their hypothalamic temperature below that of carotid arterial blood temperature, a process termed selective brain cooling. Although the requisite anatomical structure that facilitates ...

Haw, Anna; Hofmeyr, Markus; Fuller, Andrea; Buss, Peter Erik; Miller, Michele; Fleming, Gregory; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (BioMed Central, 2014-10)BACKGROUND : Opioid-induced immobilization is associated with severe respiratory depression in the white rhinoceros. We evaluated the efficacy of butorphanol and oxygen insufflation in alleviating opioid-induced respiratory ...

Rey, Benjamin; Costello, Mary-Ann; Fuller, Andrea; Haw, Anna; Hetem, Robyn S.; Mitchell, Duncan; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (Wildlife Disease Association, 2014)We evaluated the effectiveness of a ketamine-medetomidine-midazolam drug combination administered intramuscularly by remote injection followed by isoflurane anesthesia in free-living aardvarks (Orycteropus afer). Seven ...

Donaldson, Ashleigh C.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Fuller, Andrea; Buss, Peter (Oxford University Press, 2023-01)Thirty-six free-ranging lions (12 per group) were immobilized with tiletamine–zolazepam (Zoletil 0.6 mg/kg i.m.) plus medetomidine (0.036 mg/kg i.m.) (TZM), ketamine (3.0 mg/kg i.m.) plus medetomidine (0.036 mg/kg i.m.) ...

Donaldson, Ashleigh C.; Buss, Peter Erik; Fuller, Andrea; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (Oxford University Press, 2023-01)Free-living lions (12 per group) were immobilized with tiletamine-zolazepam-medetomidine (TZM), ketamine-medetomidine (KM), or ketamine-butorphanol-medetomidine (KBM). During immobilization, respiratory, blood gas and ...

Sawicka, Joanna; Fuller, Andrea; Fick, Linda G.; Hetem, Robyn S.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Dalerum, Fredrik (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2015-04)The capture of wild animals is a stressful event which may cause a capture-induced hyperthermia, resulting in morbidity or mortality. We investigated whether various cooling techniques were effective at lowering the body ...

Alexander, Graham J.; Tolley, Krystal A.; Maritz, Bryan; McKechnie, Andrew E.; Manger, Paul R.; Thomson, Robert L.; Schradin, Carsten; Fuller, Andrea; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Hetem, Robyn S.; Cherry, Michael; Conradie, Werner; Bauer, Aaron M.; Maphisa, David; O’Riain, Justin; Parker, Daniel M.; Mlambo, Musa C.; Bronner, Gary; Madikiza, Kim; Engelbrecht, Adriaan; Lee, Alan T.K.; Jansen van Vuuren Bettine; Mandiwana-Neudani, Tshifhiwa G.; Pietersen, Darren William; Venter, Jan A.; Somers, Michael J.; Slotow, Rob; Strauss, W. Maartin; Humphries, Marc S.; Ryan, Peter G.; Kerley, Graham I.H. (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2021-09)Preventing the over-exploitation of natural resources is vital to ensure that biodiversity is protected and conserved. Legislation and regulations are therefore necessary to manage resource utilisation, but overly stringent ...

Veiga, Gabriela N.; Biewener, Andrew A.; Fuller, Andrea; Van de Ven, Tanja M.F.N.; McGowan, Craig P.; Panaino, Wendy; Snelling, Edward P. (Wiley, 2020-09)This study assesses the functional morphology of the ankle extensor muscle‐tendon units of the springhare Pedetes capensis, an African bipedal hopping rodent, to test for convergent evolution with the Australian bipedal ...

Fuller, Andrea; Mitchell, Duncan; Maloney, Shane K.; Hetem, Robyn S.; Fonseca, Vinicius F.C.; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Van de Ven, Tanja M.F.N.; Snelling, Edward P. (Company of Biologists, 2021-02)Mammals in drylands are facing not only increasing heat loads but also reduced water and food availability as a result of climate change. Insufficient water results in suppression of evaporative cooling and therefore ...

Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Hetem, Robyn Sheila; Mitchell, Duncan; Fuller, Andrea (BioMed Central, 2015-02)BACKGROUND : Etorphine, a potent opioid agonist, causes pulmonary hypertension and respiratory depression. Whether etorphine-induced pulmonary hypertension negatively influences pulmonary gas exchange and exacerbates ...

Weyer, Nora Marie; Fuller, Andrea; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney; Mitchell, Duncan; Picker, Mike; Rey, Benjamin; Hetem, Robyn Sheila (Frontiers Media, 2020-07-07)Shifting activity to cooler times of day buffers animals from increased heat and aridity under climate change. Conversely, when resources are limited, some nocturnal species become more diurnal, reducing energetic costs ...

Rey, Benjamin; Fuller, Andrea; Hetem, Robyn S.; Lease, Hilary M.; Mitchell, Duncan; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (Elsevier, 2016-01)Hyperthermia is described as the major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with capture, immobilization and restraint of wild animals. Therefore, accurately determining the core body temperature of wild animals ...

(Company of Biologists, 2018-09)The hearts of smaller mammals tend to operate at higher mass-specific mechanical work rates than those of larger mammals. The ultrastructural characteristics of the heart that allow for such variation in work rate still ...
