A new article on animal health after translocation: Soft Release Translocation of Texas Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma cornutum) on an Urban Military Installation in Oklahoma, United States https://t.co/ot2a4RLqBg https://t.co/okYt4LgUSG
NEW paper. Does soft-release increase the likelihood of successful translocation? Maybe not for adult #TexasHornedLizards but results were promising for juveniles.
"While soft-released adults did have reduced post-release movements, they also had low survival, suggesting that they do not respond well to translocation." 🦎 #TexasHornedLizards #ConservationBehavior #Translocation https://t.co/os2r7YFNid
