Reduced genetic variability in a captive-bred population of the endangered Hume's pheasant (Syrmaticus humiae, Hume 1881) revealed by microsatellite genotyping and D-loop sequencing.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Captive breeding programs are crucial to ensure the survival of endangered species and ultimately to reintroduce individuals into the wild. However, captive-bred populations can also deteriorate due to inbreeding depression and reduction of genetic ...

Effects of domestication and captive breeding on reaction to moving objects: implications for avoidance behaviours of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Domestication and captive breeding can compromise the obstacle- and predator-avoidance capabilities of animals in the wild. Whereas previous studies only examined these effects in combination, here we examine them individually by comparing the abilities ...

Ark or park: the need to predict relative effectiveness of ex situ and in situ conservation before attempting captive breeding [PDF]

, 2015
1. When species face extinction, captive breeding may be appropriate. However, captive breeding may be unsuccessful, while reducing motivation and resources for in situ conservation and impacting wild source populations. Despite such risks, decisions are

Timing avian long-distance migration: from internal clock mechanisms to global flights [PDF]

, 2017
Migratory birds regularly perform impressive long-distance flights, which are timed relative to the anticipated environmental resources at destination areas that can be several thousand kilometres away.

Survival rates of captive-bred Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii in a hunted migratory population [PDF]

, 2016
Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii numbers are declining owing to unsustainable levels of hunting and poaching, with the main conservation response being population reinforcement through the release of captive-bred birds.

Sperm morphology and forward motility are indicators of reproductive success and are not age- or condition-dependent in a captive breeding population of endangered snake.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The relationship between male ejaculate traits and reproductive success is an important consideration for captive breeding programs. A recovery plan for the endangered Louisiana pinesnake includes captive breeding for the release of young to the wild ...
