We review the indexed scientific literature (233 papers) dealing with 'restocking'of
vertebrates, ie reinforcement of wild populations by release of individuals of the same …

The translocation of individuals around the world is leading to rising incidences of
anthropogenic hybridization, particularly between domestic and wild congeners. We apply a …

Captive-reared animals used in reinforcement programs are generally less likely to survive
than wild conspecifics. Digestion efficiency and naive behaviour are two likely reasons for …

Disruption of naturally evolved spatial patterns of genetic variation and local adaptations is a
growing concern in wildlife management and conservation. During the last decade, releases …

In the Anthropocene, human activities have been a dominant force affecting wildlife, natural
habitats, and climate worldwide. Over time, increasing incidences of wildlife-human …

Interspecific hybridization is recognized as an important process in the evolutionary
dynamics of both speciation and the reversal of speciation. However, our understanding of …

Background The β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) contains a Gly-XXX-Gly-XXX-Gly motif in its C-
terminal region that has been proposed to form a" glycine zipper" that drives the formation of …

Translocation of captive-bred individuals to reinforce wild populations may be an important
conservation approach for some species, but can be detrimental when employed to boost …

Background Main waterfowl migration systems are well understood through ringing
activities. However, in mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) ringing studies suggest deviations …

Abstract The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) duck is a ubiquitous and socio-economically
important game bird in North America. Despite their generally abundant midcontinent …
