Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive problems directly attributable to long-term captivity--asymmetric reproductive aging.
TL;DR: It is imperative that appropriate counter measures such as assisted reproductive technologies (ART) be utilized to ensure early pregnancy in captive animals for their preservation and to ensure increased genetic diversity of the captive populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of long non-reproductive periods on the genital health in captive female white rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum simum, C.s. cottoni)
Robert Hermes,Thomas B. Hildebrandt,Christian Walzer,Frank Göritz,Marilyn L. Patton,Sandra Silinski,Matt J. Anderson,C.E. Reid,Gudrun Wibbelt,Kristina Tomasova,Franz Schwarzenberger +10 more
TL;DR: The data suggests that the development of reproductive pathology and ovarian inactivity in white rhinoceros is an age-related consequence of long non-reproductive periods and can be prevented with the achievement of at least one pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonography of the Urogenital Tract in Elephants (Loxodonta africana and Elephas maximus): An Important Tool for Assessing Male Reproductive Function
Thomas B. Hildebrandt,Frank Göritz,Nancy C. Pratt,Janine L. Brown,Richard J. Montali,Dennis L. Schmitt,Guido Fritsch,Robert Hermes +7 more
TL;DR: Although many of these bulls could serve as semen donors for natural mating or artificial insemination, the inconsistent production of good-quality ejaculates raises questions as to the reliability of these individuals to participate in breeding programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive soundness of captive southern and northern white rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum simum, C.s. cottoni): evaluation of male genital tract morphology and semen quality before and after cryopreservation.
Robert Hermes,Thomas B. Hildebrandt,Steffen Blottner,Christian Walzer,Sandra Silinski,Marilyn L. Patton,Gudrun Wibbelt,Franz Schwarzenberger,Frank Göritz +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that low rate of reproduction in captivity can be attributed to reduced male reproductive fitness and changes in management of white rhinoceroses may positively affect male reproductive function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rewinding the process of mammalian extinction.

Durrant,Inbar Friedrich Ben-Nun,Cesare Galli,Frank Göritz,Katsuhiko Hayashi,Robert Hermes,Susanne Holtze,Stacey Johnson,Giovanna Lazzari,Pasqualino Loi,Jeanne F. Loring,Keisuke Okita,Marilyn B. Renfree,Steven Seet,Thomas Voracek,Jan Stejskal,Oliver A. Ryder,Thomas B. Hildebrandt +20 more
TL;DR: The ideas discussed here, while centered on the northern white rhinoceros, are equally applicable, after proper adjustments, to other mammals on the brink of extinction.
