TL;DR: The global benefits of an increasingly used conservation action to stem biodiversity loss: eradication of invasive mammals on islands are estimated to be 107 highly threatened birds, mammals, and reptiles on the IUCN Red List—6% of all these highly threatened species—likely have benefitted from invasive mammal eradications on islands.

TL;DR: Results of a 4-year translocation effort to reestablish a breeding population of Evermann's Rock Ptarmigan in the Near Islands group of the western Aleutian Archipelago showTranslocations were successful because females survived, successfully nested, and recruited offspring during the establishment stage.

TL;DR: It appears ground squirrels are not a recent, human-mediated introduction and may have colonized the island via a natural dispersal event or an ancient human translocation.

TL;DR: The potential contribution of datasets derived from archaeological fauna, archaeogenomics, and paleoenvironmentaldata to conservation efforts has been widely addressed in the literature as discussed by the authors, particularly in a region like the Gulf of Alaska where resources are known to have fluctuated across space and through time.
