Large avian scavengers are among the most vulnerable vertebrates, and many of their
populations have declined severely in recent decades. To help mitigate this marked …

Applied ecologists continually advocate further research, under the assumption that
obtaining more information will lead to better decisions. Value of information (VoI) analysis …

The Eurasian Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus is a large Palearctic, Indohimalayan and
Afrotropical Old-World vulture. The species' range is vast, encompassing territories from the …

Biodiversity losses are increasing as a consequence of negative anthropogenic effects on
ecosystem dynamics. However, the magnitude and complexity of these effects may still be …

The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus; hereafter “condor”; Fig.) has long been
symbolic of avian conservation in the United States. Its large size, inquisitiveness, and …

Despite recent efforts to develop the science of reintroduction biology, there is still no
general and broadly accepted definition of reintroduction success. We investigate this issue …

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) …

Despite its key role in population dynamics and evolutionary ecology, little is known about
factors shaping survival in long‐lived territorial species. Here, we assessed several …

Summary 1 Reintroductions are commonly used for re‐establishing self‐sustainable
populations in formerly inhabited areas. Reintroductions are expensive, and thus, it is worth …

Since reintroduction programmes involve moving animals from captive or wild environments
and releasing them into novel environments, there are sure to be a number of challenges to …
