Increasing generations in captivity is associated with increased vulnerability of Tasmanian devils to vehicle strike following release to the wild
Captive breeding of threatened species, for release to the wild, is critical for conservation. This strategy, however, risks producing captive-raised animals with traits poorly suited to the wild. We describe the first study to characterise accumulated consequences of long-term captive breeding on b...
