The breeding of threatened species in captivity for release is a central tool in conservation
biology. Given gloomy predictions for biodiversity trends in the Anthropocene, captive …

This book synthesizes existing knowledge of the process of domestication and how captive
breeding and management of wild and domestic animals have affected their behaviour and …

Recent insights from habitat selection theory may help conservation managers encourage
released animals to settle in appropriate habitats. By all measures, success rates for captive …

Reintroduction of captive-bred animals is a key approach in conservation attempts for many
endangered species, however, post-release survival is often low. Rearing conditions may be …

Animal personality and behavioral syndromes can have profound effects on individual
fitness. Consequently, there is growing recognition that knowledge of these phenomena …

Translocation is a popular conservation tool, but the outcomes are variable. Many tactics can
be used to improve the probability of success, but a comprehensive summary of these does …

As anthropogenic environmental changes spread and intensify across the planet,
conservation biologists have to analyze dynamics at large spatial and temporal scales …

Short‐term, transient population dynamics can differ in important ways from long‐term
asymptotic dynamics. Just as perturbation analysis (sensitivity and elasticity) of the …

It would be much easier to assess the effectiveness of different reintroduction methods, and
so improve the success of reintroductions, if there was greater standardization in …

The translocation of animal species, that is the transfer of individuals from a source
population to a release area to restock, is a widespread practice in conservation biology and …
