• One hundred years of eruptions of house mice in Australia: a natural biological curio (2005, background): “This story is repeated in New Zealand where outbreaks of mouse populations follow the seed mast years of beech forest ( Nothofagus spp.) (Ruscoe et al ., 2003) and the quantity of beech seed can be used to predict the growth of mouse populations ( Choquenot & Ruscoe, 2000 ).”
• Review of impacts of the introduced house mouse on islands in the Southern Ocean: are mice equivalent to rats? (2009, background): “Where mice cooccur on islands with other introduced mammals, their densities are suppressed (e.g. Miller and Miller 1995; Choquenot and Ruscoe 2000; Russell and Clout 2004; Witmer et al. 2007; Caut et al. 2008; Simberloff 2008); for example, the eradication of Rattus rattus from Buck Island…”
• Management of introduced mammals in New Zealand (2003, background): “…outcome without explaining mechanisms (e.g., Barlow 2000 for Tb epidemiology in possums), or a mechanistic model that purports to explain how the interactions work (e.g., Choquenot & Ruscoe (2000) for beech mast-mouse systems, or Bayliss & Choquenot (2002) for how food regulates possum densities).”
• Rats dying for mice: Modelling the competitor release effect (2007, background): “Field specialists seem unanimous in viewing rats as strong competitors of mice, negatively affecting the rate of change in mouse abundance and even excluding them when resources are scarce (Choquenot & Ruscoe 2000; Courchamp et al. 2000; Ruscoe 2001).”
• Testing the resource-matching hypothesis in the mast seeding tree Nothofagus truncata (Fagaceae) (2006, background): “Third, variation in beech seedfall is a significant driver of rodent population cycles (King 1983; O’Donnell & Phillipson 1996; Choquenot & Ruscoe 2000 ) and affects predation of, and breeding by, some New Zealand endemic bird species (Elliott et al. 1996; Wilson et al. 1998).”
