• Qualitative modelling of invasive species eradication on subantarctic Macquarie Island (2011, background): “Indeed, in other island eradications, failure to eradicate mice has been more common than failure to eradicate rats (Howald et al. 2007).”

(2008, background): “Eradication of invasive rats is We released radio-collared adult male Norway rats (Rattusnow possible on large islands (Howald et al. 2007), restoring norvegicus) on two small pest-free, forested, offshore islands in large areas of habitat for species reintroduction and conservanorthern New…”
• The impacts of invasive rodents on island invertebrates (2011, background): “Australasia (principally New Zealand) has been the site of 54% of the world’s 284 successful rodent eradications from islands up to 2006 (Howald et al., 2007), and in keeping with this geographical bias in interventions, a disproportionate number of studies which used rodent eradication to investiga”
• Invasive rats on tropical islands: Their population biology and impacts on native species (2015, background): “Rats trapped in trees spent 51% of their time on the forest floor, whereas ground-trapped rats were located in the canopy for 29% of observations (Howald et al., 2004).”
• Bio-Economics of Large-Scale Eradication of Feral Goats From Santiago Island, Galápagos (2009, background): “Rodents, goats, and cats are now being removed from larger islands at a faster rate than ever before (Algar and Burrows 2004, Cruz et al. 2005, Phillips et al. 2005, Howald et al. 2007, Morrison et al. 2007).”
• Avoiding surprise effects on Surprise Island: alien species control in a multitrophic level perspective (2009, background): “Control programmes of invading alien species, including the eradication of mammals from islands, have been increasing in numbers in the last few decades (Myers et al. 2000; Courchamp et al. 2003; Nogales et al. 2004; Campbell and Donlan 2005; Martins et al. 2006; Howald et al. 2007 ).”
• Review of impacts of the introduced house mouse on islands in the Southern Ocean: are mice equivalent to rats? (2009, background): “Despite this, there has been little island conservation action devoted to mice, relative to other introduced mammals (Wanless et al. 2007; Howald et al. 2007 ).”
• Seabird conservation status, threats and priority actions: a global assessment (2012, background): “Indeed, by late 2006, 332 successful rodent eradications (35 failed, 20 unknown outcome) had been undertaken, with invasive rodents eradicated from 284 islands (Howald et al. 2007).”
• The Global Islands Invasive Vertebrate Eradication Database: A tool to improve and facilitate restoration of island ecosystems (2011, background): “The bulk of the database came from the published summary articles for rodents (Howald et al. 2007), goats (Campbell and Donlan 2005), and cats (Nogales et al.”
• Improved detection of an alien invasive species through environmental DNA barcoding: the example of the American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus (2012, background): “Once an AIS becomes established, costs of control action can be extremely high, complete eradication cannot always be achieved (Howald et al. 2007) and this may negatively affect the environment and compromise the recovery of native species (Myers et al.”

• Fifty years of rodent eradications in New Zealand: another decade of advances (2016, background): “…early history of rodent management in New Zealand and update previous reviews (Thomas & Taylor 2002; Towns & Broome 2003; Clout & Russell 2006; Howald et al. 2007; Broome 2009; Towns 2011; Towns et al. 2013) with a focus on the past decade of invasive rodent management on New Zealand islands.”
• Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “Eradication of invasive vertebrate herbivores has been successful on many small islands (Campbell and Donlan, 2005; Smith et al., 2006; Howald et al., 2007; Cheke and Hume, 2008), and has led to rapid recovery of native vegetation on many oceanic islands.”
• Rating the rat: Global patterns and research priorities in impacts and management of rodent pests (2014, methodology): “…their natural range, many rodents such as rats, mice, squirrels and coypus may have a detrimental impact on native species and ecosystems, requiring the implementation of control or eradication programs (see Carter & Leonard 2002, Howald et al. 2007, Bertolino et al. 2008, Capizzi et al. 2010).”
• A Review of the World's Active Seabird Restoration Projects (2012, neutral): “Although over 300 predator eradications have been conducted, often costing millions of dollars (Nogales et al. 2004, Donlan andWilcox 2007, Howald et al. 2007), relatively few of these projects have been followed with seabird restoration (Jones et al. 2011).”
