Molecular ecology of marine turtles: New approaches and future directions (2008, background): “Accessing stress levels of animals that must be captured, translocated or reintroduced is becoming an increasingly important concern (Teixeira et al., 2007).”
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “For example, animals may be held for disease screening, or quarantine (Teixeira et al., 2007) or are held while additional individuals are being captured.”
Captive-reared burrowing owls show higher site-affinity, survival, and reproductive performance when reintroduced using a soft-release (2011, unknown): “We therefore join several previous authors in suggesting that soft-releases be used as the method of choice in reintroductions and translocations for a wide-variety of species (e.g., Bright and Morris, 1994; Wanless et al., 2002; Teixeira et al., 2007).”
Ecological Restoration and Physiology: An Overdue Integration (2008, background): “Physiological knowledge can help ensure that stress from translocation is minimal so that introductions have a greater chance of success (reviewed in Teixeira et al. 2007).”
Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, unknown): “However, abrupt elevation of GC during the translocation procedure itself may be a sign of reduced animal welfare (Waas et al., 1999) and prolonged exposure to high GC levels can inflict severe damage to animals' memory and immune system, leading to reduced survival (Teixeira et al., 2007).”
Psittacine reintroductions: Common denominators of success (2012, background): “terms of population establishment and persistence: survival and reproduction (Seddon, 1999b; Teixiera et al., 2007; Armstrong and Seddon, 2008; Tavecchia et al., 2009).”
Mitigation‐driven translocations: are we moving wildlife in the right direction? (2015, background): “In Brazil, purportedly vast mone tary sums are dedicated to relocating animals from the sites of large hydroelectric projects; such actions are legally required but essentially undocumented (Teixeira et al. 2007).”
