- Abstract
Because we aimed to identify trends in wildlife health literature with the potential to affect conservation outcomes, we focused on wildlife health studies in which a combination of complementary methods were used to provide a comprehensive overview on the health status of an individual and its population. Health assessment methods used in wildlife health assessment studies All included studies used at least 2 health assessment methods. Trend topics and health assessment methods used in wildlife health assessment studies Blood analysis was the most common health assessment method, followed by body composition assessment, physical examination, and fecal analysis (Figure 5). Studies conducted in Costa Rica were most represented (78 studies/M km SP 2 sp ), followed by studies conducted in Ecuador (36 studies/M km SP 2 sp ), Denmark (24 studies/M km SP 2 sp ), Slovakia (21 studies/M km SP 2 sp ), and the United Kingdom (21 studies/M km SP 2 sp ).
