Legacy of avian-dominated plant-herbivore systems in New Zealand (2010, unknown): “Tolerance of mammalian herbivores and ongoing dispersal by such herbivores for some indigenous fleshy-fruit-producing plants (Williams et al. 2000) will maintain the realised niche of a subset of indigenous plants, but even after several centuries of mammalian occupation no vegetation communities…”
Dietary niche differentiation among three species of invasive rodents (Rattus rattus, R. exulans, Mus musculus) (2013, background): “2003; Meyer and Shiels 2009), captive-feeding trials (Bunn and Craig 1989; Williams et al. 2000; Pérez et al. 2008; Shiels 2011), and stomach content analysis (Clark 1981, 1982; Amarasekare 1994; Pisanu et al.”
Are introduced rats (Rattus rattus) both seed predators and dispersers in Hawaii? (2011, background): “Although this type of dispersal is much more common with birds than rodents (Herrera and Pellmyr 2002; Forget et al. 2005), it has been demonstrated with captive black rats for two small-seeded species (< 2.5 mm length) from New Zealand (Williams et al. 2000).”
Assessing the benefits of frugivory for seed germination: the importance of the deinhibition effect (2006, background): “The pipes were covered with 9-mm mesh which excluded all vertebrate predators except mice ( Mus musculus ). Ship rats ( Rattus rattus ) and mice are both important seed predators in New Zealand forests (Fitzgerald et al . 1996; Williams et al . 2000; Alley et al . 2001; Wilson et al . 2003; Ruscoe”
Do larger frugivores move seeds further? Body size, seed dispersal distance, and a case study of a large, sedentary pigeon (2012, background): “Introduced birds rarely disperse large-seeded plants (Kelly et al., 2010), while introduced mammals such as possums do not swallow large seeds (Williams et al., 2000; Williams, 2003).”
Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “…et al. 2013), field trials measuring food item removal ( Norman 1970, Abe 2007, Shiels and Drake 2011), captive-feeding trials (Amarasakare 1994, Williams et al. 2000, Pérez et al. 2008, Gregory and Macdonald 2009, Meyer and Shiels 2009, Shiels 2011), and stable isotope analysis (Harper 2006,…”
Mutualisms with the wreckage of an avifauna: the status of bird pollination and fruit- dispersal in New Zealand (2010, unknown): “smaller introduced mammals have been tested (Williams et al. 2000; Dungan et al. 2002; Dungan & Norton 2003; Williams 2003).”
