Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “In rare cases, some native plants may profit from the presence of alien animals (e.g. Traveset et al., 2009), and introduced animals can also reduce the abundance of some plant invaders (e.g. Campbell and Donlan, 2005; Kueffer, 2006).”
A review of the evidence for potential impacts of black rats (Rattus rattus) on wildlife and humans in Australia (2012, background): “Several studies have suggested that black rats have disrupted such plant–fauna relationships (Athens et al. 2002; Delgado García 2002; Kelly et al. 2006; see also Kuschel and Worthy 1996; Traveset et al. 2009), although direct evidence for black rats as the agent of disruption is often lacking.”
Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “However, contemporary studies have indeed depicted R. rattus as the rodent species responsible for the most detrimental impacts on islands (Towns et al. 2006, Jones et al. 2008, Ruffino et al. 2009, Traveset et al. 2009).”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “…to have detrimental effects on the native island flora and fauna (e.g. North et al., 1994; Mack et al., 2000) and thereby affect native mutualisms indirectly (e.g. Campbell and Donald, 2005; Nogales et al., 2004, 2005, 2006; Traveset and Riera, 2005; Kelly et al., 2006; Traveset et al., 2009).”
Invasive rodents on islands: integrating historical and contemporary ecology (2009, background): “Today, the integration of these fields has become increasingly important, because invasions and threats of extinction continue, and because ecological restoration of islands frequently depends on understanding rodent ecology in order to predict the consequences of their removal ( Towns and Broome 20”
Review of impacts of the introduced house mouse on islands in the Southern Ocean: are mice equivalent to rats? (2009, background): “In particular, the predatory impacts of rats Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus and R. exulans, cats Felis catus and pigs Sus scrofa on insular ecology and charismatic fauna such as seabirds are such that their eradication from islands has progressed apace (Veitch and Clout 2002; Courchamp et al. 2003; Pa”
Are introduced rats (Rattus rattus) both seed predators and dispersers in Hawaii? (2011, background): “…held view that introduced rats are seed predators (Campbell and Atkinson 2002; Towns et al. 2006; Howald et al. 2007; Athens 2009; Towns 2009; Traveset et al. 2009), but I also demonstrate another facet of rat-plant interactions: fruit removal by black rats can sometimes result in seed…”
Review of negative effects of introduced rodents on small mammals on islands (2009, background): “By comparison, R. norvegicus is also widespread but is more common at higher northern and southern latitudes and tends to be restricted to human-modified habitats in the warmer parts of its range (Musser and Carleton 2005; e.g. Traveset et al. 2008).”
