• The Use and Potential of Pest-Proof Fencing for Ecosystem Restoration and Fauna Conservation in New Zealand (2012, background): “…to overuse of resources and the potential for catastrophic decline (Hayward and Kerley 2009 ) , although population limitation by intra- and inter-specifi c competition is probably a more natural or original state for New Zealand birds than top-down limitation by pest mammals (Innes et al. 2010 ) .”
• The potential for the use of gene drives for pest control in New Zealand: a perspective (2018, background): “Of the three, the ship rat is of greatest conservation concern, but all prey on native species (Innes et al. 2010).”
• Legacy of avian-dominated plant-herbivore systems in New Zealand (2010, unknown): “Native birds in general continue to decline, particularly forest-dwelling herbivores (Innes et al. 2010), and many introduced avian herbivores are considered gamebirds and culled because of their impacts on pastoral farming.”
• The impact of trout on galaxiid fishes in New Zealand (2010, result): “In contrast to the situations reviewed by Bellingham et al. (2010) and Innes et al. (2010) for terrestrial systems, detailed descriptions of galaxiid taxonomy and distribution were not compiled until after trout were dispersed throughout New Zealand (McDowall 2003).”
• New Zealand island restoration: seabirds, predators, and the importance of history (2010, background): “However, islands with low levels of endemism are also important because they are, or have until recently been, refugia for species that became extinct after human settlement of the main islands of New Zealand (Worthy & Holdaway 2002; Innes et al. 2010).”
• Large‐scale pest control in New Zealand beech forests (2016, background): “forest birds are declining or threatened with extinction (Innes et al. 2010).”
• Predation in bird populations (2011, background): “Many native New Zealand bird species, for example, have declined because they lack flight or the behaviours to compensate non-lethally to mammalian predators which were completely absent on these islands until the last few centuries (Innes et al. 2010).”
• Impacts of exotic invertebrates on New Zealand's indigenous species and ecosystems (2010, background): “introduced animals and plants has led to range restriction, population decline, or extinction of numerous terrestrial species, especially birds, invertebrates, and plants (e.g. Atkinson & Cameron 1993; DOC/MfE 2000; Allen & Lee 2006; Gibbs 2010; Innes et al. 2010; Tennyson 2010).”
• Impacts of introduced deer and extinct moa on New Zealand ecosystems (2010, background): “…through the removal of preferred feeding plants, but predation by possums seems to be a much more important agent of decline than the removal of food trees (Innes et al. 1999) and it has recently been argued that food limitation is rarely important for New Zealand forest birds (Innes et al. 2010).”
