The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Compassionate conservation, rehabilitation and translocation of Indonesian slow lorises (2014, background): “This ‘soft release’ or ‘delayed-release’ technique has been found to influence success in translocations in other species (Bradley et al. 2005, Parker et al. 2008), but not in all cases (Hardman & Moro 2006), and suggests that certain successful techniques are often species or site specific.”
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “, 2005), the technique does not always improve success potential (Hardman and Moro, 2006) and may result in decreased survivorship (Castro et al.”
Know Thy Enemy: Experience Affects Elk Translocation Success in Risky Landscapes (2007, background): “Additional research into animal conditioning (McLean et al. 2000), soft releases (Biggins et al. 1998, Hardman and Moro 2006), predator control (Calvete and Estrada 2004), manipulation of release group sizes (Robinette et al. 1995), and exploitation of spatial variability in risks will help…”
Captive-reared burrowing owls show higher site-affinity, survival, and reproductive performance when reintroduced using a soft-release (2011, unknown): “, 2002), while others either have not benefited or occasionally have been hindered by field enclosures (Castro et al., 1994; Lovegrove, 1996; Moro, 2001; Clarke et al., 2002; Hardman and Moro, 2006).”
