Using the movement patterns of reintroduced animals to improve reintroduction success (2014, background): “In such novel environments, gaining information is critical for survival (Frair et al., 2007).”
Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, unknown): “…to the release site and therefore can provide a good baseline for comparison, for example, when comparing survival rates (Strum, 2005; Molony et al., 2006; Frair et al., 2007), habitat choice (Ostro et al., 2000), movement patterns (Molony et al., 2006), and range use (Ostro et al., 1999).”
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “Released animals have been shown to benefit from having experience with the local predators (Frair et al., 2007), even if the ‘‘predators” present at the release site are humans (Wauters et al.”
