• Using the movement patterns of reintroduced animals to improve reintroduction success (2014, background): “, movement, foraging or social behaviors) may allow managers to optimize the personality composition of each release cohort, in order to increase reintroduction success (Watters and Meehan, 2007).”
• Why and how should we use environmental enrichment to tackle stereotypic behaviour (2007, background): “One might also be concerned about how such animals would fare if reintroduced to the wild, a situation in which captive-bred animals often have low success (e.g. Clark et al., 2002; Frantzen et al., 2001; Griffith et al., 1989; and see Watters and Meehan, 2007).”
• Should we consider individual behavior differences in applied wildlife conservation studies (2017, background): “Behavioral assays of individuals along several trait axes pre-release allows managers to select a more behaviorally (and presumably physiologically and genetically) diverse group slated for release (May et al., 2016; Reading et al., 2013; Smith and Blumstein, 2013; Watters and Meehan, 2007) and may ”
• The Culture of Conservation Biologists: Show Me the Hope! (2010, background): “A functional population, capable of meeting all its various environmental challenges, needs all types; if some types are eliminated, the population may not be able to adapt to all future contingencies (McDougall et al. 2006, Watters and Meehan 2007).”
• Personality in Non‐human Animals (2008, background): “Researchers in applied fields like Applied Ethology focus on practical issues like predicting working dog performance (e.g., Maejima et al., 2007; Svartberg, 2005) and applications in animal welfare and management (e.g., McDougall, Reale, Sol, & Reader, 2006; Watters & Meehan, 2007 ).”
