| effectiveness of multiple-release sites in reintroduction of persian fallow deer. | releasing animals in more than one location may increase or decrease the probability of success of a reintroduction project, yet the question of how many release sites to use has received little attention. we used empirical data from the reintroduction program of the persian fallow deer (dama mesopotamica) (galilee region in northern israel) in an individual-based spatially explicit simulation model to assess the effects of releasing deer from multiple sites. we examined whether multiple-release ... | 2011 | 21977973 |
| dynamics and management of infectious disease in colonizing populations. | the introduction of chronic, infectious diseases by colonizing populations (invasive or reintroduced) is a serious hazard in conservation biology, threatening the original host and other spillover species. most research on spatial invasion of diseases has pertained to established host populations, either at steady state or fluctuating through time. within a colonizing population, however, the spread of disease may be influenced by the expansion process of the population itself. here we explore t ... | 2006 | 16761600 |
