Identifying predictors of translocation success in rare plant species [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2023
Abstract The fundamental goal of a rare plant translocation is to create self‐sustaining populations with the evolutionary resilience to persist in the long term. Yet, most plant translocation syntheses focus on a few factors influencing short‐term benchmarks of success (e.g., survival and reproduction).

Return to 1616: Multispecies Fauna Reconstruction Requires Thinking Outside the Box

Animals, 2023
Conservation translocations have become increasingly popular for ‘rewilding’ areas that have lost their native fauna. These multispecies translocations are complex and need to consider the requirements of each individual species as well as the influence ...

Global assessment of forest quality for threatened terrestrial vertebrate species in need of conservation translocation programs.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Conservation actions such as habitat protection, restoration, and translocations are critical actions in preventing further extinctions of threatened species.

Giraffe translocation population viability analysis [PDF]

, 2020
Most populations of giraffes have declined in recent decades, leading to the recent IUCN decision to upgrade the species to Vulnerable status, and some subspecies to Endangered.

Existing evidence on the outcomes of wildlife translocations in protected areas: a systematic map

Environmental Evidence, 2021
Background Ecosystem degradation, mainly through overexploitation and destruction of natural habitats, is a well-known threat to the viability and persistence of many species’ populations worldwide. The use of translocations as a viable conservation tool

Taking the Leap: A Binational Translocation Effort to Close the 420-Km Gap in the Baja California Lineage of the California Red-Legged Frog (Rana draytonii)

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
Conservation translocations, the human-mediated movement and release of a living organism for a conservation benefit, are increasingly recommended in species’ recovery plans as a technique for mitigating population declines or augmenting genetic ...

Estimating vital rate variation to assess early success of scrub mint translocations

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
Species translocations are increasingly common in rare plant conservation. Wild populations can provide basic ecological knowledge to improve their chance of success.

Novel Conditions in Conservation Translocations: A Conservative-Extrapolative Strategic Framework

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
In response to anthropogenic threats, conservation translocations are increasingly used to combat species' population and range declines. However, moving animals outside of their current distribution can mean introducing them to novel conditions, even in

Virulence factor secretion and translocation by Bordetella species [PDF]

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2009
Here we review the Bordetella virulence secretome with an emphasis on factors that translocate into target cells. Recent advances in understanding the functions of adenylate cyclase toxin, a type 1 secretion system (T1SS) substrate, and pertussis toxin, a type IV secretion system (T4SS) substrate, are briefly described and a compilation of additional ...

Convergent adaptation of Saccharomyces uvarum to sulfite, an antimicrobial preservative widely used in human-driven fermentations.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
Different species can find convergent solutions to adapt their genome to the same evolutionary constraints, although functional convergence promoted by chromosomal rearrangements in different species has not previously been found.
