• Genetic considerations in ecosystem restoration using native tree species (2014, unknown): “Despite an accumulation of experience of ecosystem restoration over recent decades, it is still common to measure the success of restoration efforts primarily in terms of the number of seedlings planted or their survival in the short term (Menges, 2008; Le et al., 2012).”
• Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective (2011, background): “…translocations to maximize population adaptability under climate change is increasingly being considered in the context of landscape restoration (Menges 2008; Jones and Monaco 2009); however, the perceived risk of losing local adaptation is a serious impediment to this approach being put into…”
• Quasi in situ: a bridge between ex situ and in situ conservation of plants (2010, background): “A relocation can be considered successful if the introduced population after longterm monitoring is as demographically capable as its wild counterpart(s), i.e. reference natural population(s) (Pavlik 1996; White and Walker 1997; Menges 2008).”
• Building evolutionary resilience for conserving biodiversity under climate change (2010, background): “…extinction, and the option of assisted migration to alleviate these threats has been the focus of increasing debate (Hunter 2007; McLachlan et al. 2007; Grueber and Jamieson 2008; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2008; Menges 2008; Ricciardi and Simberloff 2009; Richardson et al. 2009; Swarts and Dixon 2009).”
• How successful are plant species reintroductions (2011, background): “A key qualitative measure of the ultimate fate of reintroductions is the ability of transplants to flower and set fruit (Morgan, 2000; Tyndall and Groller, 2006; Menges, 2008).”
• Success Rates for Reintroductions of Eight Perennial Plant Species after 15 Years (2012, background): “Clearly, mere survival of some plants is not enough to judge the reintroduction success; but even the presence of reproductive individuals (Menges 2008) is not enough, either, as the seeds produced could fail to form the next generation.”
