Relocating “Stuffed” Animals by Stephanie S. Turner

“… This essay focuses on the remediating effects of photography of natural history museum taxidermy. How do these works refigure the apparent verisimilitude of taxidermied animals and their realistic diorama “habitats”? …”

Facing Extinction by Verity Burke

“… When we consider the preservation of the animal body in natural history displays, we primarily think of techniques such as taxidermy or the mounting of a skeletal anatomy. Animal death masks are, by contrast, almost completely unstudied. …”

Assessment on different animal preservation techniques based on systematic decision tree for the development of natural history gallery in Pulau Tinggi Malaysia by Zahari, Fatin Nur Atikah

“…The SDT model of difficulty level shows that pinning technique was found to be the easiest method while taxidermy is the most difficult technique. Practitioners agreed on taxidermy being the easy method, but they think preservation in alcohol is easier. …”

Cooperative nest defense by European Starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris ) during a predatory threat by Elizabeth A Lewis, Colleen A Barber

“…We exposed adult European Starlings breeding in 16 nest boxes to a taxidermy mount of an American red squirrel ( Tamiasciurus hudsonicus; experimental treatment) and a similarly sized and shaped rock (control) mid-way through the nestling period when nestlings were 11 or 12 days old. …”

Penile shape discriminates two cryptic species of Akodon Meyen, 1833 (Mammalia, Rodentia, Cricetidae) from eastern Brazil by Leonardo Campana, Letícia Rosário Cruz, Roberta Paresque, Valéria Fagundes

“…This study shows the importance of penis morphology in the taxonomy of the cryptic rodent species A. cursor and A. montensis, representing a powerful tool to discriminate male specimens in mammal collections without karyotyping or sequencing, even though the specimens occurred in sympatric areas. Since most taxidermy protocols do not preserve the penis in mammal preparations, liquid preservation of some specimens or the removal of the penis before taxidermy for liquid preservation could be beneficial. …”

La oscura poesía de las marionetas. Starewitch, Å vankmajer y los Quay by María Trenor

“…Three generations of filmmakers whose works run through a turbulent and murky twentieth century, presenting broad thematic and aesthetic matches despite their peculiarities: the obsession with taxidermy, the undead, magical operations, poetic objects, dirt, the sublime and the unconscious, walk across their filmographies, genuine and inimitable. …”

Constructing nature behind the glass by Samuel J.M.M. Alberti

“…After exploiting this writing for different perspectives on the cultural and practical construction of museum nature, this paper moves on to consider one popular topic, taxidermy. The ambiguous nature of taxidermic mounts, or ‘remnant models’, leads to a discussion of the relative status of specimen and artefact. …”

Loss of Predator Discrimination by Critically Endangered Vancouver Island Marmots Within Five Generations of Breeding for Release by Graham P. Dixon-MacCallum, Johnathan L. Rich, Natasha Lloyd, Natasha Lloyd, Daniel T. Blumstein, Daniel T. Blumstein, Axel Moehrenschlager, Axel Moehrenschlager

“…Marmots in captivity generally responded to taxidermy mounts by decreasing foraging and increasing vigilance, and overall responded more strongly to predators than non-predators, especially wolves. …”

Sensorial Interior: Museum Diorama as Phenomenal Space by Sarah Edwards

“…An invitation to respond to the interior of RMIT University’s First Site gallery provided an opportunity to experiment with the three traditional dioramic elements used to bring the exterior world into an interior employing taxidermy, model making and set painting. By engaging digital technologies in response to these three elements, I developed a sensorial interior, where the exterior world of facts was set into dialogue with the interior world of emotion. …”

Report of a Feather Mite Species (Acariformes: Astigmata) from the Oriental White Stork, Ciconia boyciana (Ciconiiformes: Ciconiidae), Belonging to the Japanese Native Population by Tsukasa Waki, Isao Nishiumi, Satoshi Shimano

European starlings use their acute vision to check on feline predators but not on conspecifics. by Shannon R Butler, Esteban Fernández-Juricic

“…We studied how European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) used high-acuity vision in the early stages of visual exploration of a stuffed cat (common terrestrial predator), a taxidermy Cooper's hawk (common aerial predator), and a stuffed study skin of a conspecific. …”

Hydrodynamic characteristics of the sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in gliding postures at their cruise speeds. by Woong Sagong, Woo-Pyung Jeon, Haecheon Choi

“…In the present study, we investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of these fishes in their cruise speeds of about 1 body length per second. We install a taxidermy specimen of each fish in a wind tunnel, and measure the drag on its body and boundary-layer velocity above its body surface at the Reynolds number corresponding to its cruising condition. …”

Hunter selection for larger and older male bobcats affects annual harvest demography by Maximilian L. Allen, Nathan M. Roberts, Timothy R. Van Deelen

“…The selection of older, male bobcats appears primarily driven by hound hunters (hereafter hunters) compared to trappers, with hunters more frequently creating taxidermy mounts from their harvested bobcats. We found an increase in the proportion of bobcats that were harvested by hunting compared to trapping over time, and this was associated with increased selectivity and substantial changes in the characteristics of harvested bobcats. …”

Females Are More Aggressive Than Males towards Same- and Opposite-Sex Intruders in the Blue Tit (<i>Cyanistes caeruleus</i>) by Gust Boiten, Robin van Iersel, Rianne Pinxten, Marcel Eens

“…For each sex, we examined the occurrence of different behavioural responses during agonistic encounters, and compared the intensity and individual consistency of intra- and inter-sexual aggression using same- and opposite-sex taxidermy mounts. Our results show that females are the more aggressive sex. …”
