TLDR
The value of plant reintroductions as a conservation tool could be improved by an increased focus on species biology and using a higher number of transplants (preferring seedlings rather than seeds), and a consistent long-term monitoring after reintroduction.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments : a genetic perspective
Andrew Weeks,Carla M. Sgrò,Andrew G. Young,Richard Frankham,Nicki Mitchell,Kim A. Miller,Margaret Byrne,David J. Coates,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Paul Sunnucks,Martin F. Breed,Elizabeth A. James,Ary A. Hoffmann +12 more
TL;DR: A classification of translocations based on specific genetic goals for both threatened species and ecological restoration is provided, separating targets based on ‘genetic rescue’ of current population fitness from those focused on maintaining adaptive potential.

What is conservation physiology? Perspectives on an increasingly integrated and essential science†
Steven J. Cooke,Lawren Sack,Craig E. Franklin,Anthony P. Farrell,John Beardall,Martin Wikelski,Steven L. Chown +6 more
TL;DR: The definition of ‘conservation physiology’ is refined to be more inclusive, with an emphasis on characterizing diversity, understanding and predicting responses to environmental change and stressors, and generating solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) dieback - a conservation biology challenge.
TL;DR: An overview of the present knowledge on ash dieback is provided, practical recommendations are identified, and practical recommendations and research needs are pointed out.

Which provenance and where? Seed sourcing strategies for revegetation in a changing environment
Martin F. Breed,Martin F. Breed,Michael G. Stead,Kym Ottewell,Michael G. Gardner,Michael G. Gardner,Andrew J. Lowe +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a provenancing selection guide based on confidence surrounding climate change distribution modelling and data on population genetic and/or environmental differences between populations is presented to mitigate against two global drivers of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss.

TL;DR: It is found that coral restoration case studies are dominated by short-term projects, with 60% of all projects reporting less than 18 months of monitoring of the restored sites, and most projects are relatively small in spatial scale, with a median size of restored area of 100 m2.

C.J.F. ter Braak,Petr Šmilauer +1 more
TL;DR: Canoco as discussed by the authors is a software package for multivariate data analysis, with an emphasis on dimesional reduction (ordination), regression analysis, and the combination of the two, constrained ordination.
