“…In these instances, translocation of bats (deliberate transportation from one location to another) to more suitable areas safe from these threats, such as offshore islands, may be useful, as has often been the case with birds, reptiles and insects (Galbraith & Hayson 1995;Lovegrove 1996;Colbourne & Robertson 1997;Burbidge 1999). Although translocations often succeed, many others fail (Brambell 1977), perhaps because habitat quality and/or the composition of the founding population were inappropriate (Brambell 1977;Conant 1988;Griffith et al 1989;Kleiman 1989;Hodder & Bullock 1997). Homing is another possible cause of translocation failure that is often overlooked (Brambell 1977;Guilbert 2004).…”

It has been suggested as the cause for two failed bat translocations, one in Hawaii and the other in New Zealand (Tomich 1986;Lloyd 1994).…”

Homing behaviour in the New Zealand long-tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus), a temperate insectivorous species, was investigated at Grand Canyon Cave, central North Island. A pilot study of nine adult male bats was conducted to determine whether use of the cave was regular enough for a homing study. Eight bats returned to the cave over the 3-week monitoring period, six on the night following release. Nine additional bats carrying radio transmitters were then released at three sites (three at each site) c. 5, 10 and 20 km due east of the cave; sites estimated to be located within, on the border of, and outside the population's known familiar area respectively. All but one of these nine bats were subsequently detected at the cave. Results suggest that adult long-tailed bats are able to return home following displacement both inside and outside their familiar area. Implications of these findings for translocations of bats and the possession of a potential long-distance navigation system by this species are discussed.

“…One worry is disease [Woodford & Rossiter, 1994]. The baboon data suggest that the risk was greater for the animals who were moved than for the residents, a conclusion that has also been reached by others [Brambell, 1977;Campbell, 1980;Collinson & Anderson, 1984;Wolf et al, 1996]. It may be that better physical condition increases immunity to new pathogens (see deThoisy et al [2001] for evidence that poor condition decreases immunity).…”

Measuring success in primate translocation: A baboon case study

Translocation of primates is still a rare event. The translocation in 1984 of two research groups of wild baboons that had been studied for 12 years prior to translocation and observed for 18 years afterwards offers a comprehensive set of data with which to evaluate success. A comparison with indigenous baboon troops at the release site provides an independent control for assessing performance in the release area. Two success criteria are developed with the use of indicator measures that include birth rate, death rate, patterns of mortality and survivorship, body condition, intestinal parasites, and group size. The baboon translocation succeeded according to both criteria: the two troops were saved by the translocation, and they did as well or better than could be expected in their new home. Their performance matched or exceeded that of translocated groups of other primate species.

“…Rather, the success of reintroduction programs has been tightly linked to the release site choice and the mitigation of the environmental factors, such as the availability of suitable habitat and risk of predation, that originally led to the population decrease (Brambell, 1977;Griffith et al, 1989;Kleiman, 1989). Indeed, the NWHI are an apex predator-dominated marine ecosystem (Sudekum et al, 1991;Friedlander & DeMartini, 2002;Parrish et al, 2008) with decreased productivity (Polovina et al, 1994;.…”

Evaluation of the Captive Care and Post-Release Behavior and Survival of Seven Juvenile Female Hawaiian Monk Seals (Monachus schauinslandi)

Extremely poor juvenile survival in the endangered Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) is primarily caused by prey limitation and continues to drive the population decrease in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). In 2006-2007, a pilot project was conducted to determine whether temporarily providing nutritional supplementation and protection from predation would enhance the survival of juvenile monk seals. Seven female seals, two of which were rare fraternal twins, were included in the captive care (CC) project. Six weanling seals gained weight commensurate with their duration in captivity, 89 to 297 d, with weight gains of 31 to 143% initial body weight, and were released at Midway Atoll. The seventh seal, a female yearling, died 23 d after being admitted from complications associated with malnutrition and stress. The CC and three control seals were instrumented with satellitelinked GPS dive recorders to monitor post-release behavior and survival as part of an assessment of the project's success. Satellite tags transmitted between 37 and 311 d. Initially, the CC seals foraged closer to shore, used less of the atoll, and dove to shallower depths (< 20 m) and for shorter durations (< 4 min) relative to the controls (> 60 m and > 4 min). Over the course of several weeks, most of the CC and control seals were foraging in a similar fashion. These results demonstrate that following a brief acclimation period, captive-fed monk seals are capable of foraging normally postrelease. However, none of the CC seals were alive as 2-y-olds, whereas two of the control seals were alive in 2010 as 4-y-olds. Although post-release survival was poor in the current study, with a more suitable release location, an expanded captivefeeding program could be a useful tool to salvage the reproductive potential of Hawaiian monk seals in the future.
