Captive breeding genetics and reintroduction success (2009, background): “…considerations), modeling work has shown that the best strategy to ensure species persistence is to capture the entire wild population whenever it is below a threshold of 20 individuals, provided that captive populations have better growth rates than wild populations (Tenhumberg et al., 2004).”
Making robust decisions for conservation with restricted money and knowledge (2008, unknown): “Testing hypotheses and modelling the impact of management on threatened species recovery has enabled managers to make more measured decisions about management practices (Milner-Gulland 1997; McCarthy, Possingham & Gill 2001; Regan et al. 2001; Tenhumberg et al. 2004).”
Limit theorems for discrete-time metapopulation models (2010, methodology): “This approach has become predominant in the applied metapopulation literature, because it provides a vehicle for parameter estimation [46] and permits control mechanisms to be investigated using simple optimisation tools such as dynamic programming [60, 62].”
