- Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “Intermittent control of possums and ship rats may have the nett effect of increasing ship rats for most of the time (Sweetapple & Nugent 2007); removing stoats may also increase ship rats (I. Flux, C. Gillies, unpubl. data), altering both predation and food supply scenarios in complex ways.”
- Are introduced rats (Rattus rattus) both seed predators and dispersers in Hawaii? (2011, background): “…trials (Moles and Drake 1999; Grant-Hoffman et al. 2010; Chimera and Drake, in revision), or examination of gut contents (Clark 1981; Sugihara 1997; Sweetapple and Nugent 2007; Chapter 3), droppings (Medeiros 2004; Bourgeois et al. 2005), or husking stations (Campbell et al. 1984; McConkey et al.…”
- Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “Flowers are not commonly consumed by R. rattus (Sweetapple and Nugent 2007), yet in arid habitats in the Galápagos Islands flowers were occasionally found in R. rattus stomachs (Clark 1981); in southern Tasmania R. rattus foraged on Acrotriche serrulata flowers ( Johnson et al. 2011), and rats…”
- Large‐scale pest control in New Zealand beech forests (2016, background): “…found that rats recovered to precontrol levels in 3–6 months following 1080 operations in podocarp–broadleaved forests and Ruscoe et al. (2011), Sweetapple and Nugent (2007), also working in podocarp–broadleaved forests, reported that rat numbers rose to even higher levels than pretreatment…”
- Dietary niche differentiation among three species of invasive rodents (Rattus rattus, R. exulans, Mus musculus) (2013, background): “Plant material often comprises 75–80 % of black rat diets within and outside of Hawaii, regardless of the types of coexisting rodent species (Kami 1966; Norman 1970; Clark 1981; Cole et al. 2000; Sweetapple and Nugent 2007; this study).”
- Chew-track-cards: a multiple-species small mammal detection device (2011, background): “However, such possum control operations can also reduce rat and stoat numbers to very low levels (Innes et al. 1995; Murphy et al. 1999; Sweetapple & Nugent 2006, 2007).”
