Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration Open
Conservation translocations are human‐mediated movements of wildlife for conservation purposes. They risk compromising the health of wildlife, and potentially domestic animals and humans, in the short and long term, but these risks vary wi…

Headstarting boosts population of a threatened wader, the black‐tailed godwit Open
Measures to boost populations can help ensure population persistence in the short‐term while longer‐term conservation interventions take effect. Headstarting, involving the collection of wild early life‐stage individuals, rearing in captiv…
