Potential Impacts of Black Rats (Rattus rattus) on Seeds and Seedlings of Woody Species in a Regenerating Island Rainforest Plant Community

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Invasive rodents are among the world's most damaging invasive species linked to declines and extinctions of many vertebrate and invertebrate species, especially in island ecosystems. However, despite a mainly herbivorous diet, their impacts on plant communities are less well known, with few studies in Australian ecosystems.
