• Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “In addition, ‘‘stress” is often cited as a potential factor in translocation failure (Calvete et al., 2005; Chipman et al., 2008; Letty et al., 2000; Molony et al., 2006; Rosatte et al., 2002; as reviewed in Teixeira et al., 2007) and as demonstrated in the previous section, there is a direct link w”
• Nocturnal ranging behaviour of urban hedgehogs, Erinaceus europaeus, in relation to risk and reward (2010, methodology): “By incorporating data from the adjacent study site (Molony et al. 2006), we collated patterns of road-crossing behaviour for 94 animal-nights from 46 (26_, 20\ females) hedgehogs.”
• Animal Translocations: What are they and why do we do them? (2012, unknown): “…care and release of wildlife is a significant and growing practice internationally; for example in Britain some 30 000 to 40 000 wild animal casualties end up in wildlife hospitals, the most common species being the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) (Molony et al., 2006).”
• Can translocations be used to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts? (2010, background): “Hard-released hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) exhibited greater bodyweight decline and higher mortality (59%) than did soft-released animals (19%) that had been held in captivity for a short period before translocation (Molony et al. 2006).”
• Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, unknown): “…to the release site and therefore can provide a good baseline for comparison, for example, when comparing survival rates (Strum, 2005; Molony et al., 2006; Frair et al., 2007), habitat choice (Ostro et al., 2000), movement patterns (Molony et al., 2006), and range use (Ostro et al., 1999).”
