Developing the Science of Reintroduction Biology (2007, background): “…of released California Condors (Gymnogyps californianus) exceeded the levels necessary for projected population stability and focused management attention on the need to address sources of lead contamination before establishment of a viable wild population was possible (Meretsky et al. 2000).”
Status of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) and Efforts to Achieve Its Recovery (2010, background): “A basic tenet of conservation biology is that reintroductions will inevitably fail if the factors that caused the species to decline in the first place have not been addressed (Meretsky et al. 2000).”
Climate change challenges the current conservation strategy for the giant panda. (2015, background): “Although some acquisitions of foraging habitat have been made, these reserves are still much too limited to effectively counter the lead poisoning threat to condors (Meretsky et al., 2000).”
Microbial biogeography: putting microorganisms on the map (2006, background): “Indeed, many large-bodied mammals and birds that occupy limited ranges are recently extinct or are currently endangered 58 .”
Lead in birds (2011, background): “Lead poisoning in the California condor, which feeds almost exclusively on carrion, is now considered a major obstacle to the recovery of the species (Meretsky et al. 2000, Cade 2007, Snyder 2007).”
Poison-related mortality effects in the endangered Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) population in Spain (2009, background): “In an endangered species, adult mortality may have significant consequences because population stability demands high adult survival rates (Meretsky et al. 2000; Oro et al. 2008; Ortega et al. 2009).”
A review of survival estimates for raptors and owls (2016, background): “…S1 refer to populations in which survival rates were lower than expected because of human behaviour of one form or another: for example, lead poisoning of California Condors Gymnogyps californianus or direct persecution of Hen Harriers Circus cyaneus (Etheridge et al. 1997, Meretsky et al. 2000).”
Exposure of California Condors to Lead From Spent Ammunition (2007, background): “My objective is to summarize the scientific data supporting the conclusion that reintroduced California condors are seriously exposed to lead poisoning from spent ammunition1 E-mail: tcade@peregrinefund.org Cade Exposure Of California Condors To Lead 2125 in the carcasses and gut-piles they eat and ”
Animal Domestication and Behavior (2003, background): “californianus), puppet-reared in an attempt to avoid social imprinting to human caretakers, were found to exhibit considerably less fear of people following release into nature than parent-reared birds (Meretsky et al., 2000).”
Growth and demography of a re‐introduced population of White‐tailed Eagles Haliaeetus albicilla (2009, background): “It is widely used for birds (Seddon et al. 2005) and, in particular, birds of prey (Sarrazin et al. 1996, Evans et al. 1999, Meretsky et al. 2000, O’Toole et al. 2002).”
Conspecific Attraction and the Conservation of Territorial Songbirds (2004, methodology): “As an example, behavioral training in skills such as predator avoidance and foraging has been used to improve the success of animal reintroductions (e.g., Biggins et al. 1999; McLean et al. 2000; Meretsky et al. 2000).”
