Problems encountered by individuals in animal translocations: Lessons from field studies (2007, background): “However, in wild rabbit, tranquilizer injections after capture and before 1-day-long transport did not affect survival during transport and early after release (Letty et al., 2000).”
Wild rabbit restocking for predator conservation in Spain (2004, background): “The lack of shelter or possible stress during handling and transporting are other factors which increase predation risk (Bright and Morris, 1994; Letty et al., 2000).”
The success of a soft-release reintroduction of the flightless Aldabra rail (Dryolimnas (cuvieri) aldabranus) on Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles (2002, background): “The release was designed as a soft-release (sensu Bright and Morris, 1994; Snyder et al., 1994; Letty et al., 2000).”
Dynamics of genetic adaptation to captivity (2003, background): “Training captive animals for survival in the wild (Wiley et al. 1993; Maynard et al. 1995; van Heezik et al. 1999) or ‘soft’ releasing captive animals by holding them in pens at the release site (Letty et al. 2000) has been used to reduce post release mortality.”
Behavioural processes affecting development: Tinbergen's fourth question comes of age (2003, unknown): “However, a norm of reaction approach suggests that instead of trying to change the behavioural phenotypes of subadults or adults prior to release, it might be more practical to provide them with protection, food and other forms of support in the new habitat (i.e. soft release; Letty et al. 2000).”
Linking Wild and Captive Populations to Maximize Species Persistence: Optimal Translocation Strategies (2004, methodology): “…of the species (Griffith et al. 1989; Wolf et al. 1998) and with high habitat quality (e.g., Wolf et al. 1998); using a soft release design (e.g., Letty et al. 2000); controlling predators at the release site (Sinclair et al. 1998); training released animals to avoid predators (Griffin et al.…”
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “In addition, ‘‘stress” is often cited as a potential factor in translocation failure (Calvete et al., 2005; Chipman et al., 2008; Letty et al., 2000; Molony et al., 2006; Rosatte et al., 2002; as reviewed in Teixeira et al., 2007) and as demonstrated in the previous section, there is a direct link w”
