The publication of Reintroduction Biology of Australian and New
Zealand Fauna nearly 20 years ago introduced the new science of
`reintroduction biology'. Since then, there have been vast changes
in our understanding of the process of reintroductions and other
conservation-driven translocations, and corresponding changes in
regulatory frameworks governing translocations. Advances in
Reintroduction Biology of Australian and New Zealand Fauna is a
timely review of our understanding of translocation from an
Australasian perspective, ensuring translocation becomes an
increasingly effective conservation management strategy in the
future. Written by experts, including reintroduction practitioners,
researchers and policy makers, the book includes extensive
practical advice and example case studies, identifies emerging
themes and suggests future directions. Topics include: key
questions in reintroduction biology; population establishment; prey
naivety; disease management; dispersal; the roles of trials and
experiments; modelling projections; assisted colonisation;
population interchange; genetic diversity; disease management;
metapopulation dynamics; reintroduced species as ecological
engineers; the contributions of sanctuary networks and zoos; and
extensive insights from reintroduction programs. This book is aimed
at conservation practitioners and researchers, as well as
conservation management agencies and NGOs. Although it is based on
Australasian examples, it will be of interest globally due to
synergies with reintroduction programs throughout the world.
