Working conservation implication
What this evidence could inform
Post-release identity/condition/last-seen follow-up; procedures stay vet-led; a station reduces chase and restraint.
This is a research and product hypothesis derived from the developing map. It is not a clinical protocol, a field-program claim, or proof that a proposed intervention works.
Corpus coverage
1960–2026
50% of mapped records are marked open access. Classification can be imperfect; use the paper-level sources for substantive conclusions.
