“…While most agree eastern cottontails are housed in quiet areas with a place to hide, the location (indoors or outdoors), type of enrichment, and if there should be a conditioning period are variable among rehabilitation centers. A conditioning period or outdoor housing may help an eastern cottontail become familiarized with their surroundings and forage in a safer environment prior to being released (Cherney & Nieves 1991;Diehl & Stokhaug 2012;Ford & Dubé 2019), but it is unknown whether this period is beneficial to released eastern cottontails in the long term. Housing infant eastern cottontails indoors in quiet areas only could be a way to minimize stress while in care (Reese 1992a;Jijón et al 2007;Oberly 2015;Paul & Friend 2017;Santos 2018;Tseng 2019).…”

“…Recommended release rates range from 100 g (King 2007;Principati et al 2020) to greater than 220 g (Paul & Friend 2020). As age is significantly correlated with weight, it makes sense that this would vary as well; however, most studies agree eastern cottontails should be a minimum of four WOA (Cherney & Nieves 1991;Diehl & Stokhaug 2012;Ford & Dubé 2019), with one study stating release over three WOA (Kosmal 2021). A preconditioning period (controlled outdoor acclimation period prior to release) may help eastern cottontails transition to their natural environment prior to release (Diehl & Stokhaug 2012;Ford & Dubé 2019;Tseng 2019).…”

The objective of this review is to describe the current available literature on rehabilitated eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus) in Canada and the United States to determine gaps in our knowledge, how the state of available literature compares to other wildlife species, and what aspects of rehabilitative care are covered. To meet the objectives, eligible sources must have included eastern cottontails that have entered rehabilitation. Thirty-six articles from 31 different authors were within the inclusion and outside the exclusion criteria for analysis. Results show a lack of information related to eastern cottontails in 80% (4/5) of categories and significant variation in protocols, with most being related to feeding. The lack of published scientific literature and protocol variation could be contributing to knowledge gaps within the field of rehabilitation.

This article introducesthe notion of interspecies cultures and highlights its consequences for the ethics and practice of design.T his discussion is criticalb ecause anthropogenic activities reduce the abundance, richness, and diversity of human and nonhuman cultures. Designthat aims to address these issues will depend on interspecies cultures that support the flourishing of all organisms. Combiningresearch in architecture and urban ecology, we focus on the design of urban habitat-structures.Design of such structures presents practical, theoretical, and ethical challenges. In response, we seek to align design to advancing knowledge of nonhuman cultures and more-than-humanjustice. We present interspecies design as an approach that incorporates human and nonhuman cultural knowledgeinthe managemento ff uture habitats. We ask: what is an ethically justifiable and practically plausible theoreticalframework for interspecies design?Our central hypothesis is that the capabilities approach to justice can establish goals and evaluativepractices for interspecies design. To test this hypothesis, we refer to an ongoing research project that aimstohelp the powerful owl (Ninox strenua)t hrivei nA ustralian cities. To establish possible goals for futurei nterspecies design, we discuss powerful-owl capabilitiesi np ast, present, and possible future situations.W et hen consider the broader relevance of the capabilities approach by examining human-owl cultures in other settings, globally. Our case-study indicates that: 1) owl capabilities offer ausefulbaseline for futuredesign; 2) cities diminish many owl capabilities but present opportunitiesfor new culturalexpressions; and 3) more ambitiousdesign aspirationscan support owl wellbeingincities.
