The impacts of invasive rodents on island invertebrates (2011, background): “, 2007), reduced nitrogen content in the soil and some plant species (Mulder et al., 2008; Wardle et al., 2009), a reduced rate of litter decomposition and nitrogen release (Wardle et al.”
A Review of the World's Active Seabird Restoration Projects (2012, unknown): “In the absence of these nutrient vectors, managers may not be meeting their goal of island restoration to pre-invasion states (Mulder et al. 2009, Jones 2010).”
Impacts of invasive biota in forest ecosystems in an aboveground–belowground context (2017, background): “See main text for further discussion Extirpation of rats on several islands has failed to restore aboveground and belowground ecosystem properties, because restoration requires not only the loss of rats but also reintroduction of lost seabird populations (Mulder et al. 2009).”
Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “…of indirect effects of rats on island ecosystems is reported from a group of 18 offshore islands in northern New Zealand, where half of the islands were rat-free at the time of the study (Fukami et al. 2006, Wardle et al. 2007, 2009, Mulder et al. 2009, Towns et al. 2009, Peay et al. 2013).”
Fifty years of rodent eradications in New Zealand: another decade of advances (2016, background): “Throughout the early 21st century the Rats And Seabird Project (RASP) used rat invasions of islands in the Hauraki Gulf as a large-scale natural experiment to investigate the impacts of rat invasion, particularly seabird extirpation, on ecosystem processes (Fukami et al. 2006; Mulder et al. 2009; To”
New Zealand island restoration: seabirds, predators, and the importance of history (2010, background): “7 ha); these were a subset of the islands studied in some recent research (Fukami et al. 2006; Wardle et al. 2007; Mulder et al. 2009).”
Review of impacts of the introduced house mouse on islands in the Southern Ocean: are mice equivalent to rats? (2009, background): “The transport of nutrients from marine to terrestrial systems is a critical determinant of terrestrial productivity on Subantarctic and other seabirddominated islands (Smith 1978; Smith 1979; Smith and Steenkamp 1993; Erskine et al. 1998; Croll et al. 2005; Fukami et al. 2006; Maron et al. 2006; Mul”
The potential for the use of gene drives for pest control in New Zealand: a perspective (2018, background): “Pest management in New Zealand is dominated by intensive poisoning and trapping, but native ecosystems do rebound after pest suppression and removal (Clout & Russell 2006; Howald et al. 2007; Mulder et al. 2009).”
