Ecological history and latent conservation potential: Large and giant tortoises as a model for taxon substitutions (2010, background): “…reintroductions, translocations, and taxon substitutions There have been several tortoise translocation projects worldwide, usually as part of single-species conservation projects rather than establishing new populations (Pedrono and Sarovy 2000, Atkinson 2001, Tuberville et al. 2005, 2008).”
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “Though it has been shown to improve establishment at the release site in certain species (Bradley et al., 2005; Bright and Morris, 1994; Parker et al., 2008; Tuberville et al., 2005), the technique does not always improve success potential (Hardman and Moro, 2006) and may result in decreased survivo”
No place like home: an experimental comparison of reintroduction strategies using snakes (2010, methodology): “…of release cohorts, the timing of their release, and use of temporary enclosures to acclimate and familiarize animals to site conditions are some examples of methods that have proven useful (Bright & Morris 1994; Sarrazin & Legendre 2000; Tuberville et al. 2005; Griffiths & Pavajeau 2008).”
