It is contended that an individual’s prior experience is an important factor in determining their behaviour and performance during the phase of early establishment at an unfamiliar site, which suggests the existence of common underlying mechanisms influencing the outcome of reintroduction attempts, and provides a potentially useful framework for improving reintroduction efforts.

Wetland complexes and upland–wetland linkages: landscape effects on the distribution of rare and common wetland reptiles
- Omar Attum, Y. Lee, J. H. Roe, B. Kingsbury

The results suggest that management practices should focus on protecting wetland complexes and maintaining upland–wetland linkages by improving landscape connectivity, increasing forest area surrounding wetlands and reducing road effects.
Movement patterns and habitat use of soft-released translocated spur-thighed tortoises, Testudo graeca

The results suggest that forced aestivation soft-releases may succeed in reducing dispersal by forcing spur-thighed tortoises to spend time at the release site as the majority of translocated tortoisers had similar activity range sizes and movement path tortuosity as resident tortoise.
