Studbook Databases Development and Maintenance

ZIMS Updates! This PowerPoint is up-to-date as of: November 12th 2018 ZIMS is developed in an “agile” method This means that it is updated every two weeks, sometimes with additional releases in between! Use the link below to see if there have been any updates to this topic since the date above: http://training.species360.org/updates/

Studbook: Species Database One Species, Many Facilities Institutional Records: One Facility, Many Species

Why have studbooks ? Zoos have data for their animals, isn’t that enough information?

Studbook: Benefits Data is easily available to all zoos

Studbook: Benefits Data is easily available to all zoos

Studbook: Benefits Allows data to be sorted and filtered

Studbook: Benefits Collected data allows population-level analysis, with adequate sample sizes

Studbook: Benefits Can detect population trends related to husbandry and animal health The giraffe studbook keeper noticed that male giraffes were dying from blocked urethras and burst bladders. No single zoo had more than one death, but more than 20 males had died. There is now a research programme investigating diets and other possible causes of this major cause of death for male giraffe. Studbook keepers can notice trends that single institutions cannot.

Studbook: Benefits Can analyze demographic rates

Studbook: Benefits Can evaluate population structure

Studbook: Benefits Can determine relatedness among individuals

Studbook: Benefits Necessary for genetic management

Studbook: Contents Core Information: Life Events: Special Data: Origin (birth/capture), sex, parent IDs, rearing Life Events: Transfers, loans, management plans, death Special Data: Identifiers – tags, tattoos, house names Notes on collection, behavior, reproduction Causes of death, museum information User Defined Fields: Taxonomy, management, research, etc

Studbooks have been kept in Word and Excel and other formats.

Studbook format: There are now almost 1400 studbooks worldwide using the Sparks format. This allows easier analysis of the data with standard software.

Studbook Keeper: Tasks Data collection from institutions (all current and historical specimens) Data entry into SPARKS Data assumptions and investigation Data validation and reconciliation Studbook publication and distribution Updating studbook data And repeat every year forever…

Data Collection Sources Species360 institutional data – >3 million animals from 911 institutions in 86 countries Pre-existing international studbook Data from all holding institutions (current and historical)

Data Collection Sources ARKS Taxon and Specimen Reports from individual zoos Other possibilities: Keeper notes and memories, museum records, newspaper articles with pictures of new arrivals or cute baby animals Soon: ZIMS- integrated database (animal records, veterinary records, studbooks)

Data Entry Species360 compilation of available data Careful hand entry of additional information Standardization (Species360 mnemonics, guidelines for data entry) Look for links between “pieces” of specimens (importance of unique identifiers) Date estimation (time period, mid-points) Document all assumptions Assign permanent studbook numbers
