Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.Invasive animals threaten island‐native arthropods with predation. We found that introduced ants and rats conducted 77% of experimental arthropod live bait predations on Ascension Island. Predation was mostly by big‐headed ants Pheidole megacephala inland and around non‐native vegetation, and by black rats Rattus rattus in coastal lowland habitats and ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 458-469, March 2025.Our results illustrate the value of PVAs as a tool for understanding potential invasive species management outcomes in multi‐invaded ecosystems. Defining thresholds of ecologically significant rat impact informs the setting of decision triggers, which in combination with targeted monitoring, can help managers prepare to adapt to deficient or ...

Evaluation of trial reintroductions of two extinct in the wild reptile species on Christmas Island
Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 19-32, February 2025.We undertook the first reintroduction trials of the Extinct in the Wild blue‐tailed skink and Lister's gecko on Christmas Island and assessed their success in the first 15 months post‐release against a priori success criteria. Both reintroductions achieved some short‐ and medium‐term success (in particular the blue‐tailed skink population increased ...

Latitudinal Variation in the Timing of Nest Predator Activity Is Habitat Specific
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The goal of this work was to investigate whether the community of avian nest predators shifts from nocturnal to diurnal with changes in latitude. This hypothesis was formulated 70 years ago, under the rationale that longer day length during the bird breeding season at high latitudes increases opportunities for visual predators.
