Reintroduction modelling: A guide to choosing and combining models for species reintroductions

James Hunter‐Ayad, Ralf Ohlemüller, Mariano R. Recio, Philip J. Seddon, more

Journal of Applied Ecology > 57 > 7 > 1233 - 1243

Species reintroductions are high‐investment ecological interventions that require careful planning. Predictive models are useful tools for managing reintroductions. We provide an overview of habitat suitability, dispersal, population dynamics and interspecies models, considering potential uses and limitations of established methods for reintroductions. Furthermore, we include a guide for integrating...

Integrated spatially-explicit models predict pervasive risks to recolonizing wolves in Scandinavia from human-driven mortality

Mariano R. Recio, Barbara Zimmermann, Camilla Wikenros, Andreas Zetterberg, more

Biological Conservation > 2018 > 226 > C > 111-119

Human-driven wildlife mortality is caused by both indirect causes and direct persecution due to conflicts of interests. The wolf, a predator frequently at risk from human-wildlife conflict, is returning to areas where it was historically extirpated in Scandinavia (Sweden and Norway). The wolf is expanding via a management strategy that allows wolves to reproduce exclusively in a wolf breeding range...

Trial reintroduction of buff weka to an unfenced mainland site in central South Island, New Zealand

Jim O. Watts, Antoni Moore, Dawn Palmer, Tim C. A. Molteno, more

Austral Ecology > 42 > 2 > 198 - 209

While there have been significant conservation successes through restoration of island biodiversity following the eradication of invasive predators, a major challenge remains to reintroduce native species within larger mainland systems that support suites of introduced mammalian predators. Strategies to enhance establishment and persistence of reintroduced populations include pre‐release management...

Optimizing control programmes by integrating data from fine-scale space use by introduced predators

Mariano R. Recio, Richard F. Maloney, Renaud Mathieu, Emilio Virgós, more

Biological Invasions > 2017 > 19 > 1 > 209-221

The control of introduced mammalian predators (IMP) through trapping campaigns relies on operator experience to deploy traps in sites with an expected high probability of IMP presence, where the maximum number of captures is anticipated. We tested the limitations of available information on fine-scale spatial use by feral cats modelled from remote data collection methods (small-resolution satellite...

Resource selection by an ancient taxon (Onychophora) in a modern urban landscape: A multi-scale analysis approach to assist in the conservation of an animal phylum

Dan Barrett, Mariano R. Recio, Barbara I.P. Barratt, Philip J. Seddon, more

Landscape and Urban Planning > 2016 > 148 > C > 27-36

Invertebrates are a neglected but important component of urban ecosystems. Although cities are a heterogeneous landscape most studies of urban invertebrates focus on specific habitat fragment types. We modeled the resource selection of an undescribed species of Onychophora – the Dunedin peripatus – at multiple scales across an urban gradient in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. We aimed to identify...

Niche and movement models identify corridors of introduced feral cats infringing ecologically sensitive areas in New Zealand

Mariano R. Recio, Philip J. Seddon, Antoni B. Moore

Biological Conservation > 2015 > 192 > C > 48-56

The mitigation of the impact caused by introduced mammalian predators is a priority for conservation managers. Reducing predator population numbers is the most realistic strategy in mainland areas or large islands, and could be a feasible alternative to pest eradication. However, the success of control campaigns depends not only on removal of resident individuals, but also on managing reinvasions...

article

Quantifying fine-scale resource selection by introduced feral cats to complement management decision-making in ecologically sensitive areas

Mariano R. Recio, Renaud Mathieu, Emilio Virgós, Philip J. Seddon

Biological Invasions > 2014 > 16 > 9 > 1915-1927

The feral domestic cat (Felis catus) is considered to be one of the most damaging introduced predators, responsible for the decline and extinction of numerous native species. Advanced satellite technologies enable the study of resource selection by small mammals at fine-scales through remote data. These tools can improve understanding of the spatial ecology of introduced predators in ecologically...

Understanding determinants of home range behaviour of feral cats as introduced apex predators in insular ecosystems: a spatial approach

Mariano R. Recio, Philip J. Seddon

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology > 2013 > 67 > 12 > 1971-1981

The introduced feral cat (Felis catus) is a widespread generalist with flexible social behaviour and an apex predator without major interspecific competitors in insular ecosystems that evolved in the absence of predators. Mechanistic definitions consider an animal’s home range to be the spatial expression of a cognitive map that is kept up-to-date with the status of critical resources that contribute...

Design of a GPS backpack to track European hedgehogs Erinaceus europaeus

Mariano R. Recio, Renaud Mathieu, Philip J. Seddon

European Journal of Wildlife Research > 2011 > 57 > 6 > 1175-1178

We report on the design and construction of a Global Positioning System (GPS) backpack to collect positional data of European hedgehogs Erinaceus europaeus. The device consisted of a microGPS unit plus a VHF transmitter to facilitate unit recovery. It was constructed to articulate when the animal rolled up and to prevent snagging on objects or nests. Backpacks were fitted to 28 hedgehogs with eight...
