• Mammal invaders on islands: impact, control and control impact (2003, background): “Most of the time, thesemammalian predators ignored the target prey and instead turned to native prey, whichwere often easier to locate and/or kill because they evolved in the absence of these terrestrial predators (Atkinson, 2001).”
• Review of impacts of the introduced house mouse on islands in the Southern Ocean: are mice equivalent to rats? (2009, background): “The direct impact of house mice on seabird populations was until recently considered negligible (Moors and Atkinson 1984; Atkinson 2001, Witmer et al. 2007).”
• Avoiding surprise effects on Surprise Island: alien species control in a multitrophic level perspective (2009, background): “However, eradication success cannot be reduced to effective alien removal, because eradication of alien invasive species should be viewed as a necessary, but not single, step towards ecological restoration (Atkinson 2001).”
• Ecological history and latent conservation potential: Large and giant tortoises as a model for taxon substitutions (2010, background): “…the term’s meaning has been recently expanded in the scientific literature and media to include proposed reintroductions that incorporate ecological history back to the Pleistocene epoch (Atkinson 2001, Jones 2002, Steadman and Martin 2003, Galetti 2004, Donlan et al. 2005, 2006, Zimov 2005).”
• From Reintroduction to Assisted Colonization: Moving along the Conservation Translocation Spectrum (2010, background): “One option is therefore to restore lost function through the establishment of an ecologically similar species (Atkinson 2001).”
• Feeding Ecology of a Feral Cat Population on a Small Mediterranean Island (2007, background): “Most ecosystem damage on islands has been caused by the introduction of a few mammal species that have generally led to the impoverishment of the local flora and fauna through competition or predation (Atkinson 2001; Courchamp et al. 2003).”
• The impact of brodifacoum on non-target wildlife: gaps in knowledge (2006, background): “Innes and Barker, 1999; Atkinson, 2001; Towns and Broome, 2003).”
• Landscape‐level vegetation recovery from herbivory: progress after four decades of invasive red deer control (2009, background): “Small-scale activemanagement strategies that restore either pre-disturbance ecological processes and ⁄or biotamay be a viable alternative for accelerating recovery via ‘natural’ processes (Atkinson 2001; Benayas, Bullock & Newton 2008).”
• Restoration Ecology: Interventionist Approaches for Restoring and Maintaining Ecosystem Function in the Face of Rapid Environmental Change (2008, background): “effective control or exclusion of feral predators such as foxes or mustelids (110-112).”
• A review on the effects of alien rodents in the Balearic (Western Mediterranean Sea) and Canary Islands (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2009, background): “Alien mammals have reportedly caused the most stunning of ecological disturbances from biological invasions, which can be partly attributed to the general absence of naturally occurring terrestrial mammals on most remote islands (Atkinson 2001).”
• Rediscovery of the ‘extinct’ Lord Howe Island stick-insect (Dryococelus australis (Montrouzier)) (Phasmatodea) and recommendations for its conservation (2003, background): “Two islands larger than 10 km have now been cleared of rats ( Atkinson 2001 ).”
• The diet of feral cats on islands: a review and a call for more studies (2011, background): “…and global extinctions of many island endemic species making them leading contributors to biodiversity loss (Diamond 1989; Fritts and Rodda 1998; Balmford 1996; Stattersfield and Capper 2000; Atkinson 2001; Dowding and Murphy 2001; Courchamp et al. 2003; Long 2003; Aguirre-Muñoz et al. 2008).”
• Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “stoat Mustela erminea and feral cat Felis catus) (Brockie 1992; Innes & Barker 1999; Atkinson 2001; King 2005; Forsyth et al. 2010).”
• When does invasive species removal lead to ecological recovery? Implications for management success (2018, background): “…lasting effects of their impacts, and if they play an important functional role will help to anticipate if and what management might be necessary post-invader removal to recover ecological systems (Atkinson 2001; Zavaleta 2002; Courchamp et al. 2003; Caut et al. 2007, 2009; Buckley and Han 2014).”
• The Use and Potential of Pest-Proof Fencing for Ecosystem Restoration and Fauna Conservation in New Zealand (2012, background): “…is strictly unattainable given the lack of knowledge of what such an ecosystem looked like, extinction of some species, and changes in environment (e.g., climate) since that time (e.g., Karori Wildlife Sanctuary (recently renamed Zealandia), Campbell-Hunt 2002 ) (Simberloff 1990 ; Atkinson 2001 ) .”
