Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “In the Mariana Islands, Wiewel et al. (2009) reported that all species in their sampling that had been previously believed to be R. rattus or R. tanezumi were most closely related to the R. diardii group described by Robins et al. (2007).”

Review of rat invasion biology: implications for island biosecurity. (2008, background): “In this case, it is vital that samples are appropriately stored in ethanol. genetic methods provide a powerful means to determine the species, and possibly sex, of invading rats (Robins et al. 2007).”
Phylogeography of the introduced species Rattus rattus in the western Indian Ocean, with special emphasis on the colonization history of Madagascar (2010, background): “…samples from the islands of Oceania (New Zealand, Society, Samoa, Papua New Guinea) (GenBank EF186354– EF186360 and EF186469–EF186375) published by Robins et al.
