Habitat suitability and herbivores determine reintroduction success of an endangered legume

Abstract: Reintroductions of rare plants require detailed knowledge of habitat requirements, species interactions, and restoration techniques. Thus, incremental experimentation over many years may be required to develop adequate knowledge and techniques for successful reintroduction. To determine drivers of extinction in historical reintroductions of a federally endangered perennial ( Astragalus bibullatus ), we developed a reintroduction experiment to disentangle the relative importance of habita… Show more

“…Just as there is a great diversity of threats, so there is a very wide range of corresponding management interventions (Monks et al., 2019; Albrecht & Long, 2019), and like them, they may interact with each other leading to unforeseen consequences. They range from fairly simple actions such as habitat weeding to quite unusual or unexpected actions such as resolving complex seed dormancy mechanisms that may be needed following detailed investigation.…”

“…For Astragalus , sowing seeds (usually scarified) or planting ex situ -produced seedlings/juveniles (usually from scarified seeds but also from stem cutting in the case of A. tennesseensis ; Bowles et al, 1988) in the field can be used for reintroduction of extirpated populations (Bowles, 1988; Bowles et al, 1993; Erisen et al, 2010; Naseri and Adibi, 2016), introduction for the establishment of new populations (Baskin and Baskin, 1981; Bowles et al, 1993; Kondo and Takeuchi, 2004; Albrecht and McCue, 2010; Albrecht and Penagos, 2012; Albrecht and Long, 2019) or for augmentation of existing populations (Becker, 2010). Also, plants can be produced by tissue and cell culture methods.…”

“…The explants produced have been successfully grown in ex vitro conditions such as those in a greenhouse (Yorgancilar and Erisen, 2011). Using seeds to propagate Astragalus plants is more reliable, costs less and is simpler than doing so by tissue and cell culture (Statwick, 2016; Albrecht and Long, 2019). Germination and seedling survival/establishment are the most critical stages of the life cycle in the conservation of endangered species.…”

“…Heywood (2019) emphasizes that it is not so much presence in a protected area that matter as its persistence and recovery over time. A common failing in planning species recovery is the lack of a detailed threat assessment and just as there is a great diversity of threats, so there is a very wide range of corresponding management interventions (Albrecht and Long, 2019; Monks et al., 2019; Heywood et al., 2018), and like them, they may interact with each other, leading to unforeseen consequences. An increasingly common intervention in recovery programmes where populations are no longer viable and under imminent threat of extinction is population augmentation, a type of conservation translocation.…”

“…Translocations, whether for recovery, reintroduction or introduction, are complex procedures and have a poor recorded success rate so it is important that we obtain and share information about the issues involved, experiences and the likely causes of success or failure. The papers by Albrecht and Long (2019); Miandrimanana et al. (2019); Tojibaev et al.…”
