Outcomes of wildlife translocations in protected areas: what is the type and extent of existing evidence? A systematic map protocol

Table 3 Outcome categories and corresponding descriptions

Outcome category	Description	Example references (from test list or scoping exercise)
Space use	Studies measuring all movement/dispersal of translocated individuals. This will include notably home range measurements, or euclidean distance travelled	[43]
Demography	Studies outlining the changes in number of individuals, males/females, of the translocated population i.e. population growth overtime	[44, 45]
Survival	Studies illustrating precisely the proportion of individuals alive or level of mortality since translocation	[46]
Reproduction	Any impacts on reproduction, expressed by number of young born since translocation, or specifically the survival rate of offspring	[47]
Feeding	All impacts specifically on diet and feeding of translocated individuals. (Nb. cascade effects will not be included as an outcome)	[48, 49]
Behaviour	Studies measuring changes in terms of communication (e.g. vocal), social structure, or anti-predator behaviour i.e. stress/vigilance levels, of translocated individuals	[50, 51]
Genetics	Studies relating to the genetic structure of the translocated species	[52]
Physiology	All biological or physiological impacts measured at the molecular, cellular or organic level (e.g. hormone activity)	[53]
