The Value of Enrichment to Reintroduction Success

Zoo Biology, 2013
AbstractReintroduction attempts have faced low, albeit improving, success rates, especially for threatened and endangered species reintroduced from captivity to the wild.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
Four years after the first successful open heart operation in 1953, most cardiac surgeons were using bilateral anterior thoracotomy.
