• The use of hand-raised psittacines for reintroduction: a case study of scarlet macaws (Ara macao) in Peru and Costa Rica (2005, background): “Many hand-raised animals lack the social skills needed to survive and reproduce in the wild (Snyder et al., 1987, 1994; Wiley et al., 1992; Snyder and Snyder, 2000).”
• Restoration Ecology: Interventionist Approaches for Restoring and Maintaining Ecosystem Function in the Face of Rapid Environmental Change (2008, background): “Recent high profile examples include the reintroduction of wolves to the Yellowstone area in the Rocky Mountains (93) and the recovery of the California Condor (94).”
• Coextinction and persistence of dependent species in a changing world (2012, background): “Similar to the case of the black-footed ferret, when the last 22 wild California condors (Gymnogyps californianus) were brought into captivity in 1987 for rearing, they were deloused (Snyder & Snyder 2000).”
• Pragmatic population viability targets in a rapidly changing world (2010, unknown): “If conservation biologists, the very people dedicated to prevent extinction via scientific investigation and restorative problem solving, sanction this, then what is there to stop others with no sympathy for conservation from justifying extinction (Jachowski and Kesler, 2009)? Others highlight conse”
• Status of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) and Efforts to Achieve Its Recovery (2010, methodology): “For example, adherence to subsidies has been strongest in southern California, where feeding stations have been few and nonproffered food sources appear to be limited (Snyder and Snyder 2000, Grantham 2007, Hall et al. 2007).”
• Exposure of California Condors to Lead From Spent Ammunition (2007, background): “…fatalities and physiological malfunctions that—at current levels of exposure—will prevent the reintroduced condors from developing self-sustainable populations, at least in Arizona if not also in California, USA (Meretsky et al. 2000, Snyder and Snyder 2000, Cade et al. 2004, Woods et al. 2007).”
• Leadership and conservation effectiveness: finding a better way to lead (2011, methodology): “Not until the intensive studies of the 1980s and 1990s did the true cause of decline become clear (lead poisoning caused by ingestion of lead shot from abandoned deer carcasses) for the project to develop a clear vision and strong direction (Snyder & Snyder 2000).”
• State of the world's raptors: Distributions, threats, and conservation recommendations (2018, background): “Protected areas have been created especially for raptors (e.g., Marti, 1992; Snyder and Snyder, 2000; Watson et al., 2007), and best practices have been developed to prevent raptor mortality (APLIC, 2006; CMS, 2011, 2014).”
