Recruitment of Captive‐Reared Florida Grasshopper Sparrows After Translocation: Age of Release Matters by Juan C. Oteyza, Karl E. Miller, Andrew Schumann, Sarah Biesemier, Andrea Sylvia

“…Logistic regression analysis found support for release age class and mass on recruitment probability, but release age class was the only variable included in all the top three models. Based on the most‐parsimonious model, when mass was held at its mean value (16.47 g), the odds of recruitment for hatch‐year birds were 4.65 times (95% CI: 2.04, 11.75) that of second‐year birds. …”
