Advances in plant conservation translocation
Plant Ecology, 2023 With thousands of performed cases, conservation translocation is now widely used to restore rare and threatened plant populations worldwide. While we begin to understand from previous mistakes and best practices what makes translocations successful, we realize also how complex the process of performing a translocation is, from the very initial planning

Climate suitability as a predictor of conservation translocation failure [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2020 Abstract The continuing decline and loss of biodiversity has caused an increase in the use of interventionist conservation tools, such as translocation. However, many translocation attempts fail to establish viable populations, with poor release site selection often flagged as an inhibitor of success.

Tracking the global application of conservation translocation and social attraction to reverse seabird declines. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance Tracking evidence of species restoration can improve best practices and management outcomes. Seabirds are globally threatened and respond positively to restoration, particularly on islands where threats can be mitigated at landscape scales ...

Taxonomic and genetic assessment of captive White-Handed Gibbons (Hylobateslar) in Peninsular Malaysia with implications towards conservation translocation and reintroduction programmes. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2021 Abstract Conservation translocation and reintroduction for the purpose of repopulating and reinforcing extirpated or depleted populations has been recognised as an important conservation tool, particularly for gibbon conservation in the immediate future.

The fitness consequences of wildlife conservation translocations: a meta-analysis
Biological Reviews, 2023 ABSTRACTConservation translocation is a common strategy to offset mounting rates of population declines through the transfer of captive-or wild-origin organisms into areas where conspecific populations are imperiled or completely extirpated. Translocations that supplement existing populations are referred to as reinforcements, and can be conducted ...

Strategies for integrating animal social learning and culture into conservation translocation practice. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol SciConservation translocations are increasingly used in species’ recovery. Their success often depends upon maintaining or restoring survival-relevant behaviour, which is socially learned in many animals.

Applying a modified streamlined disease risk analysis framework to a platypus conservation translocation, with special consideration for the conservation of ecto- and endoparasites. [PDF]
Int J Parasitol Parasites WildlPlatypuses are the world's most evolutionarily distinct mammal and have several host-specific ecto- and endoparasites. With platypus populations declining, consideration should also be given to preserving these high conservation priority parasites ...

Habitat Suitability, Distribution Modelling and GAP Analysis of Przewalski’s Gazelle Conservation
AnimalsAlthough the population of Przewalski’s gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) has increased, this species is still threatened by a variety of risk factors, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, grassland fencing, grazing conflict, the segmentation of ...
