Abstract

Evidence-based translocation designing can lead to better translocation outcomes. In this research thesis, I address the knowledge gaps in the cryptic semi-arid species, the western grasswren (Amytornis textilis textilis) to better guide the translocation design process. My thesis focused on providing detailed information on the social organisation, breeding biology and genetic mating system, song diversity and population genetic structure, while testing the efficacy of diverse translocation tactics and modelling translocation scenarios. Research outcomes directly affected the choices made in the translocation plan of this species to a nearby island, Dirk Hartog Island.
