rate. One factor that contributes to failure is postrelease hyperdispersal, which we define as …

Starting in the late 1970s, ecologists began unraveling the role of recently extinct large
vertebrates in evolutionary ecology and ecosystem dynamics. Three decades later …

Analysis of factors influencing the success or failure of translocation programmes is crucial
to understand broadly the process of establishment of new populations (Seddon et al., 2007) …
