Zoo elephant metagenomic Kraken2 reports
<p>Non-invasive biological samples benefit studies that investigate rare, elusive, endangered, and/or dangerous species. Integrating genomic techniques that use non-invasive biological sampling with advances in computational approaches can benefit and inform wildlife conservation and management. We use non-invasive fecal DNA samples to generate low- to medium-coverage genomes (e.g., >90% of the complete nuclear genome at 6 X-fold coverage) and metagenomic sequences, combining widely available and accessible DNA collection cards with commonly used DNA extraction and library-building approaches. DNA preservation cards are easy to transport and can be stored non-refrigerated, avoiding cumbersome and/or costly sample methods. The genomic library construction and shotgun sequencing approach did not require enrichment or targeted DNA amplification. The utility and potential of the generated data generated were demonstrated through genome-scale analysis and metagenomics of zoo and free-ranging African savanna elephants (<em>Loxodonta</em> <em>africana</em>). Fecal samples collected from free-ranging individuals contained an average of 12.41% (5.54–21.65%) endogenous elephant DNA. Clustering of these elephants with others from the same geographic region was demonstrated by principal component analysis of genetic variation using nuclear genome-wide SNPs. Metagenomic analyses generated compositional taxon classifications that included Loxodonta, green plants, fungi, arthropods, bacteria, viruses, and archaea, showcasing the utility of this approach for addressing complementary questions based on host-associated DNA, e.g., pathogen and parasite identification. The molecular and bioinformatic analyses presented here contribute towards the expansion and application of genomic techniques to conservation science and practice.</p>

Oregon Zoo - Bat Mural
Bats live on every continent except Antarctica and play an important role by eating insects, pollinating plants and dispersing seeds. While habitat loss threatens bats worldwide, other pressures vary regionally. In North America, a fungal disease called White-nose Syndrome has killed nearly six million bats since 2006. Pesticides have also been linked to weakened immune systems in bats, making them more susceptible to diseases. In Southeast Asia and Oceania, deforestation and bush meat hunting have driven some species close to extinction. As bats lose natural habitat, people can help by providing artificial roosting sites. A properly designed, constructed and located bat house can provide a warm place for female bats to raise their babies, and can offer an alternative roost when bats are "evicted" from human houses.

Galápagos Cormorant (NHMW-Zoo-VS 62.755)
3D scan of a mount of the Galápagos Cormorant (*Phalacrocorax harrisi*). This species is the only flightless member of the cormorant family. They are very rare in the wild and can only be found on two of the Galápagos Islands: Isabela and Fernandina. Due to the lack of natural predators and enough food on the islands, they lost their ability to fly. This specimen was purchased in 1902 by natural history dealer William F. H. Rosenberg. The Galápagos Cormorant is Number 75 of the NHM Top 100 and can be found in Hall 30 of the NHM Vienna. **Specimen**: *Phalacrocorax harrisi* (Rothschild, 1898) **Inventory number**: NHMW-Zoo-VS 62.755 **Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Bird Coll.

Steller's Sea Cow (NHMW-Zoo-MAMM 614)
3D scan of one of the 27 existing skeletons of the extinct Steller's sea cow (*Hydrodamalis gigas*) worldwide. Steller's sea cow was up to 8 meters long, weighted about 4 tons and lived in the Northern Pacific. They were very social, gregarious animals who came to the aid of injured members of their species, which – combined with their site fidelity and their slow rate of reproduction – was a significant factor of their rapid elimination just 27 years after their discovery in 1741. Steller's sea cow is Number 87 of the NHM Top 100 and can be found in Hall 34 of the NHM Vienna. **Specimen**: Steller's sea cow, *Hydrodamalis gigas* (Zimmermann, 1780) **Inventory number**: NHMW-Zoo-MAMM 614 **Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Mammal Coll.

Javan Rhinoceros (NHMW-Zoo-MAMM 8198/ST319)
3D scan of a mounted Javan rhinoceros (*Rhinoceros sondaicus*). When the animal was first discovered and described in the 13th century, it lived in rainforests throughout Southeast Asia. According to the latest estimate, there are 73 animals left, all confined to the Ujung Kulon National Park at the western tip of Java in Indonesia. The fourteen-month-old male on display at the museum was captured at the end of the 18th century and mounted in 1801, making it one of the oldest mounted animals at the NHM Vienna. The Javan rhinoceros is Number 89 of the NHM Top 100 and can be found in Hall 35 of the NHM Vienna. **Specimen**: *Rhinoceros sondaicus* Desmarest, 1822 **Inventory number**: NHMW-Zoo-MAMM 8198/ST319 **Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Mammal Coll.

Dwarf Crocodile (NHMW-Zoo-HS 1974)
3D scan of a taxidermized dwarf crocodile (*Osteolaemus tetraspis*). Dwarf crocodiles are the smallest species of crocodiles, reaching a maximum body and tail length of ca. 1.7 meters. *O. tetraspis* is an inhabitant of small rivers and pools of freshwater in forests and swampy regions of Western and Central Africa northern Angola and east of the Congo River. This specimen cannot be found in the exhibition of the NHM Vienna. Hall 28 of the NHM Vienna is full of other reptiles and 3D models, some of them are visible in the collection [NHMW 1st Zoological Department](https://skfb.ly/ooFCT). **Specimen**: *Osteolaemus tetraspis* (Cope, 1861) **Inventory number**: NHMW-Zoo-HS 1974 **Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna, 1st Zoological Dept., Herpetology Coll.

DATA MINING THE GALAXY ZOO MERGERS
DATA MINING THE GALAXY ZOO MERGERS STEVEN BAEHR*, ARUN VEDACHALAM*, KIRK BORNE*, AND DANIEL SPONSELLER* Abstract. Collisions between pairs of galaxies usually end in the coalescence (merger) of the two galaxies. Collisions and mergers are rare phenomena, yet they may signal the ultimate fate of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. With the onset of massive collection of astronomical data, a computerized and automated method will be necessary for identifying those colliding galaxies worthy of more detailed study. This project researches methods to accomplish that goal. Astronomical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and human-provided classifications on merger status from the Galaxy Zoo project are combined and processed with machine learning algorithms. The goal is to determine indicators of merger status based solely on discovering those automated pipeline-generated attributes in the astronomical database that correlate most strongly with the patterns identified through visual inspection by the Galaxy Zoo volunteers. In the end, we aim to provide a new and improved automated procedure for classification of collisions and mergers in future petascale astronomical sky surveys. Both information gain analysis (via the C4.5 decision tree algorithm) and cluster analysis (via the Davies-Bouldin Index) are explored as techniques for finding the strongest correlations between human-identified patterns and existing database attributes. Galaxy attributes measured in the SDSS green waveband images are found to represent the most influential of the attributes for correct classification of collisions and mergers. Only a nominal information gain is noted in this research, however, there is a clear indication of which attributes contribute so that a direction for further study is apparent.
