This study, the first of its kind, has the potential to improve PPM reintroduction efforts and provides insights to other management programs facing similar concerns. However, exposure to invasive seeds during pre-weaning increased PPM’s willingness to forage for invasive seeds. Captive-born PPM preferred commercial seeds, which contain higher levels of moisture and starch, to native and invasive seeds.

The findings, published this month in the journal Conservation Genetics, indicate that genetic diversity should be introduced from the larger, genetically healthier. Utilizing the conservation breeding program for the endangered Pacific Pocket Mouse (Perognathus longimembris pacificus, PPM), we experimentally determined how seed origin, exposure during crucial developmental periods, and nutritional quality influence PPM’s willingness to consume invasive food types. Drawing on genetic data from six generations of Pacific pocket mice in this program, a new study has tracked reproductive success relative to a mouses ancestral population. Scientists at the San Diego Zoos Institute for Conservation Research welcomed their fifth litter of Pacific pocket mice on August 30, 2013.
One approach to combating the threat of invasive species replacing the native food sources of captive-bred endangered animals from conservation breeding and reintroduction programs is to expand the foraging options of these animals to include palatable invasive species.
