Population history and genetic bottlenecks in translocated Cook Strait giant weta, Deinacrida rugosa: recommendations for future conservation management

2017-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Translocating populations of endangered animals to predator-free offshore islands is an extreme, and potentially risky, conservation management strategy. There are many examples of failures and successes, however relatively little work has been done to formally quantify the required numbers of translocated individuals to increase the chance of successful establishment. Cook Strait giant weta, Deinacrida rugosa Bul...
