Abstract
The invention relates, in part, to devices, systems and methods to increase the likelihood of survival and reproductive success of preselected organisms. An organism container may be configured for permitting access to a preselected organism and denying access to other organisms. The container may include a floor, one or more walls, a door, a lock associated with the door, and a first sensor configured to unlock the lock to selectively move the door into the open configuration when it detects the presence of the preselected organism at the door and outside of the organism enclosure so the preselected organism can enter the container cavity, and the first sensor is configured to prevent access to the container cavity to other organisms.
