Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective (2011, background): “For these introductions (also termed ‘assisted colonization’, ‘managed relocation’ and ‘assisted migration’) (Seddon 2010), a different set of genetic issues becomes important.”
Genetic considerations in ecosystem restoration using native tree species (2014, neutral): “Ideally FRM transfer decisions should be based on solid field trial data and provenance transfer planning based purely on climate distribution modelling approaches is still highly controversial (e.g. Seddon, 2010; Sgrò et al., 2011).”
Placing Forestry in the Assisted Migration Debate (2012, background): “At one end of the spectrum are movements of populations within current or historic distribution limits; at the other end are movements of suites of species, potentially over considerable distances, to create futuristic “designer” ecosystems (Seddon 2010, p. 800).”
Towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of large terrestrial mammals to heat and aridity associated with climate change (2016, background): “Where range shifts are not feasible for large mammals, either as a result of unattainable dispersal distances or loss of habitat connectivity, and the species cannot adapt in situ, assisted colonization may be a conservation solution to the threats imposed by climate change [36].”
Factors affecting success of conservation translocations of terrestrial vertebrates: A global systematic review (2021, methodology): “Following the IUCN/SSC (2013) definition (Table 1) and other publications discussing (Seddon, 2010) conservation translocations, projects were excluded if they were primarily experimental, for hunting purposes, or where the benefit was received only by the individual animal(s) translocated and not…”
Animal Translocations: What are they and why do we do them? (2012, neutral): “…post hoc secondary releases have been termed follow-up translocations (Armstrong & Ewen, 2001) and could be seen as supplementation of the re-established free-ranging population, but should strictly be considered part of the original, but not yet successful, reintroduction attempt (Seddon, 2010).”
Restoring species through reintroductions: strategies for source population selection (2015, background): “Reintroduction programs, in which conspecific individuals are translocated into formerly occupied locations, have emerged as an important tool for reversing extirpations and restoring ecosystem function (Lipsey & Child 2007; Seddon et al. 2007; Armstrong & Seddon 2008; Seddon 2010; IUCN 2013).”
