Factors Affecting the Use of Reforested Sites by Reptiles in Cleared Rainforest Landscapes in Tropical and Subtropical Australia (2006, background): “Developing appropriate monitoring strategies for reptiles requires considerable thought and experimentation under an adaptive management framework (Mitchener 1997; Block et al. 2001; Towns & Ferreira 2001; Holl & Cairns 2002).”
New Zealand island restoration: seabirds, predators, and the importance of history (2010, background): “For example, of 26 reptile species translocated to islands, only four individual attempts have so far passed the most basic criterion for success by demonstrating that the populations are self sustaining (Towns & Ferreira 2001, D.R. Towns unpublished data).”
Establishing a New Wild Population of Tuatara (Sphenodon guntheri) (2002, methodology): “…then, that many of the factors that have been identified as risks of failure for translocations of lizards to islands in New Zealand—for example, small population size, low reproductive output, and slow popula- tion growth (Towns & Ferreira 2001)—may also apply to translocated tuatara populations.”
