• Phylogeography of the introduced species Rattus rattus in the western Indian Ocean, with special emphasis on the colonization history of Madagascar (2010, background): “Moreover, as in other parts of the world, especially islands (Towns et al., 2006; Harris, 2009), the black rat is strongly implicated in ecosystem damage (Lever, 1994; Jones et al., 2008) and serious agricultural and health problems (Gratz, 1997) in Madagascar (Duplantier & Rakotondravony, 1999).”
• The impacts of invasive rodents on island invertebrates (2011, background): “Rodents that accompany human colonisation are a major contributor to this effect, likely accounting for more recent bird extinctions than any other single factor, and implicated in the extirpation of numerous small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and plant species (Johnson and Stattersfield, 1990; Bla”

Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “Harris (2009) conducted a review of the negative impacts of invasive rodents on native mammals and found that R. rattus has been implicated in at least six extinctions in the Pacific, including four from the Galápagos Islands (Nesoryzomys spp. rats), one from New Zealand (Mystacina robusta bat),…”

(2008) on impacts of introduced rodents on islands).”
• Invasive predators and global biodiversity loss (2016, background): “Central America (including the Caribbean) has experienced the most extinctions (33 species), followed by Micro-/Mela-/ Polynesia (25), Australia (21), the Madagascar region (20), New Zealand (15), and Hawaii (11), with the remaining regions having 0–7 species extinctions each (Fig.”
