Factors influencing survival and long-term population viability of New Zealand long-tailed bats (Chalinolobus tuberculatus): Implications for conservation (2005, background): “Declines in populations of many hole-nesting forest birds follow periodic irruption of populations of stoats (Mustela erminea) and ship rats (Rattus rattus) in beech (Nothofagus) forests (Elliott et al., 1996; O Donnell et al., 1996; Wilson et al., 1998; Dilks et al., 2003; Moorhouse et al., 2003).”

A parrot apart: the natural history of the kakapo (Strigops habroptilus), and the context of its conservation management (2006, unknown): “A malebiased sex ratio (2:1) has also been reported in adult kaka, where high levels of predation on nesting females is a feature at mainland sites where stoats and possums are not controlled (Wilson et al. 1998; Greene & Fraser 1998; Moorhouse et al. 2003).”
Declines in common, widespread native birds in a mature temperate forest. (2010, background): “, kaka Nestor meridionalis (Moorhouse et al., 2003; Wilson et al., 1998); mohua Mohoua ochrocephala (Elliott, 1996)).”
Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “Changes in food supply controlled by climate can initiate bird breeding attempts, but predators may determine the success of those attempts (e.g. Wilson et al. 1998; Innes et al. 1999; Moorhouse et al. 2003).”
Faustian bargains? Restoration realities in the context of biodiversity offset policies (2012, background): “Relatively good success rates are possible for activities such as: (1) predator control, particularly in defined areas/islands (e.g. Moorhouse et al., 2003); (2) provision of specific resources for individual species (e.g. Gonzalez et al., 2006; Woodward et al., 2008); and (3) restoring native…”
Large‐scale pest control in New Zealand beech forests (2016, background): “At the same time, the benefits of controlling the full suite of predators (possums, rodents and stoats) on threatened forest birds has also become much clearer (Innes et al. 1999; Moorhouse et al. 2003; Powlesland et al. 2003).”
