The influence of supplemental feeding on survival, dispersal and competition in translocated Brown Teal, or Pateke (Anas chlorotis)
Abstract
Supplemental feeding is widely used after the translocation of animals and is presumed to increase post-release survival or reproductive output. However, the results of empirical studies on supplemental feeding are equivocal and research is needed to determine the mechanisms by which supplemental feeding affects health and behaviour. Here, we studied the effect of supplemental feeding on the Brown Teal, or Pateke (Anas chlorotis), an endangered …
