“…In another European mink re-introduction project in Estonia, Maran et al (2009) reported 59 and 30% alive after 14 d and 1 mo, respectively, with 37% confirmed as having died. For black-footed ferrets in North America, Biggins et al (1998) reported only 30% still alive after 30 d. In the current study, only 9 polecats (28%) were confirmed to have died. However, the fate of the other 23, once the signal had been lost, is not known, and these animals may also have died.…”

“…Perhaps individuals of both sexes were overwhelmed by release into a strange area, and other sources of variation masked intersexual dierences (Biggins et al, 1998). Over time, patterns of movement unique to each sex would be expected to develop; the duration of this study was too short to gather such information.…”

“…There are many possibilities (Biggins et al, 1998), but few experiments have been conducted to isolate their separate in¯uences on ferrets. Ferrets raised outdoors were subjected to oscillations in climatic conditions, and were pre-exposed to soil microorganisms and parasites such as¯eas and ticks.…”

“…Among other considerations, such as genus, species, sex, and enclosure-type differences [Day, 2003;Day et al, 2003], the age of animals when they receive any pre-release training may determine whether the experience is effective in enhancing postrelease survival [Beck et al, 2002;Biggins et al, 1998]. In contrast to previous studies in which callitrichids were exposed to pre-release foraging tasks [Kleiman et al, 1986;Redshaw & Mallinson, 1991], the current results suggest that older individuals have an increased ability to acquire or exploit novel information compared to younger individuals.…”
