Optimizing the ratio of captures to trapping effort in a black rat Rattus rattus control programme in New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The ratio of captures to unit effort is an important cost/benefit measure for volunteer pest control programmes. We describe an experiment designed to investigate the use of pre-feeding and trap pulsing as possible means of increasing this ratio.

Introduced mona monkey Cercopithecus mona is a key predator of bird nests in the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Bird communities in oceanic islands tend to evolve under reduced predation, making them extremely susceptible to introduced predators. Príncipe Island (São Tomé and Príncipe, Central Africa) harbors 11 endemic bird species and eight introduced mammal species.

Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...

Temporally‐indexed multi‐species density impact functions: Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density‐impact functions provide a framework to quantify the relationships between predator abundance and impact but are currently limited to a single species with invariant impact.
