So happy to share that after years of hard work our paper on low hatching success in the #ExtinctInTheWild #Sihek has now been published in Animal Conservation! Read more here: zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #Ornithology #ConservationScience 🌍 🦤 🧪
Parental Age, Inbreeding and Incubation Method Influence Extremely Low Hatching Success in the Ex‐Situ Population of the Extinct in the Wild Sihek
Reproductive success rates are a key parameter determining the recovery potential of ex-situ managed threatened species, with high rates often being required to produce offspring for wild releases wh...
