The tonic immobility test : do wild and captive golden mantella frogs (Mantella aurantiaca) have the same response? (2017)
Journal Article
have the same response?. PLoS ONE, 12(7), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0181972

Adaptations to captivity that reduce fitness are one of many reasons, which explain the low success rate of reintroductions. One way of testing this hypothesis is to compare an important behavioural response in captive and wild members of the same sp...
