Discriminating footprints to improve identification of congeneric invasive Rattus species
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We used linear discriminant analyses and extreme gradient boosting to distinguish tracking tunnel footprints between two congeneric invasive rat species. Predictive accuracies of the models were ≥ 94%, suggesting the reliability of using tracking tunnels and machine learning algorithms to identify Pacific and ship rats.
