The paper introduces the Cell Viability and Utility Index (CVUI) to assess cell culture quality in wildlife biobanking, validated across 154 culture rounds from 46 species.

The paper introduces the Wildlife Sperm Index (WSI), a standardized scoring system that integrates sperm quality metrics to improve gamete assessment and support assisted reproduction and biobanking in wildlife conservation.

This study develops a non-lethal sperm collection protocol for Rana muscosa, finding that 3 µg/g GnRHa yields the highest sperm quality and Wildlife Sperm Index score.
