Restoring species through reintroductions: strategies for source population selection (2015, background): “In particular, there has been a pronounced increase in the number of reintroduction programs, rising from 124 species in the early 1990s to 424 species in 2005 (Seddon et al. 2014).”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “…species can have complex and far-reaching effects on ecosystem composition and structure, particularly if these species are ecosystem engineers or top order predators (Dirzo et al. 2014, Ripple et al. 2014, Seddon et al. 2014, McCauley et al. 2015) (see also functional effects in next section).”
Quantification of population sizes of large herbivores and their long‐term functional role in ecosystems using dung fungal spores (2016, background): “Increasingly conservation policy is looking to introduce large herbivores as ecosystem engineers where they are absent (Seddon et al. 2014; Ceaușu et al. 2015; Naundrup & Svenning 2015).”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “More than 485 animal species (mostly birds and mammals) have been reintroduced to their former distributions, but scientists are still learning the best strategies and techniques for achieving successful reintroductions (Seddon et al. 2014).”
Island extinctions: processes, patterns, and potential for ecosystem restoration (2017, positive): “There may be a specific case for translocating certain species in order to restore ecosystem processes (e.g. seabirds; Miskelly et al. 2009) or interactions (Seddon et al. 2014).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “…interest are proposals and ongoing projects to establish species to replace seed dispersers of plant species that have lost their ancestral native mutualisms (Seddon et al. 2014a; Galetti et al. 2017), and large herbivores and carnivores to fulfill lost trophic linkages (Svenning et al. 2016).”
Factors affecting success of conservation translocations of terrestrial vertebrates: A global systematic review (2021, methodology): “Assisted migrations were a common method employed historically to protect species in Oceania, but even though they have been predicted to increase in the future due to climate change (Hunter, 2007; McLachlan et al., 2007; Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2008; Seddon et al., 2014; Gallagher et al., 2015) our ”
