- Rats dying for mice: Modelling the competitor release effect (2007, background): “…disastrous as mice have been shown to be active predators of invertebrates, reptiles and even birds that can be 300 times their weight (Newman 1994; Fitzgerald et al. 1996; Campos & Granadeiro 1999; Ruscoe 2001; Le Roux et al. 2002; Smith et al. 2002; Cuthbert & Hilton 2004; Wanless et al. 2007).”
- A review on the effects of alien rodents in the Balearic (Western Mediterranean Sea) and Canary Islands (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2009, background): “Egg predation by M. m. domesticus has been recorded for crevice nesting-seabird species (Cuthbert and Hilton 2004), although this phenomenon is scarcely documented.”
- Bird demographic responses to predator removal programs (2010, unknown): “…Table 3) However, for Tristan Albatross (Diomedea dabbenena), the predicted increase in productivity resulting from predator removal is 21.4%, which is comparable to the reported mortality by Cuthbert and Hilton (2004) who suggest that 15–39% of chicks die as a result of mouse predation each year.”
