Rediscovery of the ‘extinct’ Lord Howe Island stick-insect (Dryococelus australis (Montrouzier)) (Phasmatodea) and recommendations for its conservation (2003, background): “In New Zealand alone, more than 90 islands have been successfully cleared of introduced mammals ( Towns et al. 2001 ).”
Effect of Vegetation Matrix on Animal Dispersal: Genetic Evidence from a Study of Endangered Skinks (2005, background): “Linking landscape change to the decline of this species, however, is complicated by the simultaneous pressures of multiple introduced mammalian predators (Towns et al. 2001), which may act in combination with landscape change to endanger skink populations.”
Importance of Assessing Population Genetic Structure before Eradication of Invasive Species: Examples from Insular Norway Rat Populations (2005, background): “Results of many studies show that eradication of alien mammals is a powerful conservation tool for insular ecosystems, and many spectacular recoveries of threatened species have followed eradication campaigns (Towns et al. 2001; Graham & Veitch 2002; Kerbiriou et al. 2004; Pascal et al. 2005).”
Mammal invaders on islands: impact, control and control impact (2003, background): “Rats have had an impact on most remaining tuatara populations as well as on other rare reptile species (Newman, 1988; Newman & McFadden, 1990; Cree, Daugherty & Hay, 1995; Towns et al., 2001).”
