Conservation translocations: a review of common difficulties and promising directions
Translocations are a common conservation and management strategy, but despite their
popularity, translocations are a high‐cost endeavor with a history of failures. It is therefore …

A deepening understanding of animal culture suggests lessons for conservation
A key goal of conservation is to protect biodiversity by supporting the long-term persistence
of viable, natural populations of wild species. Conservation practice has long been guided …

A predictive timeline of wildlife population collapse
Contemporary rates of biodiversity decline emphasize the need for reliable ecological
forecasting, but current methods vary in their ability to predict the declines of real-world …

Should we consider individual behavior differences in applied wildlife conservation studies?
Individually distinctive behavioral traits, or personalities, contribute to population-level
processes and ecological interactions important in applied wildlife conservation research …

Listening to animal behavior to understand changing ecosystems
Interpreting sound gives powerful insight into the health of ecosystems. Beyond detecting
the presence of wildlife, bioacoustic signals can reveal their behavior. However, behavioral …

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 …
