Dietary niche differentiation among three species of invasive rodents (Rattus rattus, R. exulans, Mus musculus) (2013, background): “, fruits, seeds, vegetative material) and animals (e.g., arthropods, mollusks, birds; Sugihara 1997; Stapp 2002; Drake et al. 2011), and their diets can shift depending upon a number of factors, including food availability,”
A review of the evidence for potential impacts of black rats (Rattus rattus) on wildlife and humans in Australia (2012, background): “For example, Stapp (2002) identified predation by black rats on seabirds in Scotland by using SIA (see also Harper 2007).”
Defining eradication units to control invasive pests (2004, background): “As elsewhere (Imber, Harrison & Harrison 2000; Stapp 2002), brown rats have negatively impacted on the island’s avifauna, reducing populations of the Antarctic pipit Anthus antarcticus (Cabanis), the South Georgia pintail Anas georgica (Gmelin) and various burrowing petrel species (Pye & Bonner 1980”
Have the Harmful Effects of Introduced Rats on Islands been Exaggerated? (2006, background): “Stapp (2002) proposed that such evidence should be obtained in the Shiant Islands from studies of nest predation and egg and fledgling survival.”
