Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna
Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 592-606, August 2025.We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...
