Reintroduction biology is a field of scientific research that aims to inform translocations of endangered species. We review two decades of published literature to evaluate whether reintroduction science is evolving in its decision-support role, as called for by advocates of evidence-based conservation. Reintroduction research increasingly addresses a priori hypotheses, but remains largely focused on short-term population establishment. Similarly, studies that directly assist decisions by explicitly comparing alternative management actions remain a minority. A small set of case studies demonstrate full integration of research in the reintroduction decision process. We encourage the use of tools that embed research in decision-making, particularly the explicit consideration of multiple management alternatives because this is the crux of any management decisions.
再引入生物学是一个科学研究领域，旨在为濒危物种的再引入提供信息支持。我们回顾了二十年来发表的文献，以评估再引入科学是否在其决策支持作用方面有所发展，这是基于证据的保护倡导者所呼吁的。再引入研究越来越多地针对先验假设，但仍然主要集中在短期种群建立上。同样，直接通过明确比较替代管理行动来协助决策的研究仍然占少数。少数案例研究表明，研究已经完全融入了再引入决策过程。我们鼓励使用将研究嵌入决策中的工具，特别是明确考虑多种管理替代方案，因为这是任何管理决策的关键。
