Future directions to escalate benefits of stepping-stone approach for conservation translocations
April 8, 2019
Through a reintroduction case study on the critically endangered Vancouver Island marmot (Marmota vancouverensis), we introduced a ‘stepping-stone’ approach which utilizes the transition of released individuals among populations to maximize demographic growth potential (Lloyd et al. 2019). We greatly appreciate and hereby reflect on the thoughtful commentaries by Chauvenet (2019), Hayward (2019) and Thévenin (2019) to propose 3 key topics for future exploration.
