“…Strong differences in behaviour between captive‐bred and wild individuals (e.g., lack of exposure to natural stimuli, use of food resources, movement pattern, and/or differences in social structure) could make it difficult for captive‐bred birds to successfully integrate and mate with wild populations (Crates et al., 2023). Accordingly, poor performance of captive‐bred individuals after their release into the wild has been well documented in mallards (Champagnon, Elmberg, et al., 2012; Champagnon, Guillemain, et al., 2012; Söderquist et al., 2017) and other birds (Stojanovic, 2023). For marbled teal, GPS tagging has shown that captive‐bred birds have higher mortality and lower mobility than wild birds after their release, and has provided little evidence that they can breed successfully (Pérez‐García et al., in press).…”
