Review of hyperdispersal in wildlife translocations
Species translocation is a common tool to reverse biodiversity loss, but it has a high failure
rate. One factor that contributes to failure is postrelease hyperdispersal, which we define as …

Adapting reintroduction tactics in successive trials increases the likelihood of establishment for an endangered carnivore in a fenced sanctuary
Threatened species recovery programs are increasingly turning to reintroductions to reverse
biodiversity loss. Here we present a real-world example where tactics (techniques which …

The importance of including survival release costs when assessing viability in reptile translocations
Translocations to restore populations of endangered species are an important conservation
tool, but a reliable diagnosis is needed to assess their success. We used capture-recapture …

Captive-rearing duration may be more important than environmental enrichment for enhancing turtle head-starting success
Raising captive animals past critical mortality stages for eventual release (head-starting) is a
common conservation tactic. Counterintuitively, post-release survival can be low. Post …
