When to end releases in reintroduction programmes: demographic rates and population viability analysis of bearded vultures in the Alps (2009, background): “An important reason why so many mature individuals do not reproduce could be due to inverse density-dependent phenomena such as Allee effects ( Derdedec & Courchamp 2007 ).”
How successful are plant species reintroductions (2011, background): “Moreover, published literature suffers from a bias towards positive results (Deredec and Courchamp, 2007).”
Strategic monitoring of reintroductions in ecological restoration programmes (2007, background): “…of behavioural responses can negatively affect establishment (for example, through a disruption of social interactions, Komdeur & Deerenberg, 1997; Deredec & Courchamp, 2007; through viability constraints in sexually selected species, Møller, 2000; and through loss of natural behaviours due to…”
Growth and demography of a re‐introduced population of White‐tailed Eagles Haliaeetus albicilla (2009, background): “More generally, re-introductions may be vulnerable in their early stages, both to stochastic events (Green et al. 1996) and in some cases due to so-called Allee effects of small population size leading to reduced individual fitness (Stephens et al. 1999, Deredec & Courchamp 2007).”
