Cover : Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. On pages 199‐207, Moir et al. examine potential methods to prevent extinction of species dependent on hosts of divergent taxa, including the tuatara, when translocating threatened animals or plants. A tick ( Amblyomma sphenodonti ) that is specific to tuatara did not establish after two translocations of tuatara. Moir et al. suggest determining viable sizes of founder host populations for dependent species and managing populations of dependent species to maximize the probability of sustainable rates of transmission between hosts.
