New Zealand island restoration: seabirds, predators, and the importance of history (2010, background): “Selective seed predation by kiore could alter long-term forest composition (Campbell & Atkinson 1999, 2002).”
Conservation of oceanic island floras: present and future global challenges. (2010, background): “Invasive animals may also interfere with pollination and/or seed dispersal mutualisms (Campbell and Atkinson, 2002; Traveset and Richardson, 2006; Meyer and Butaud, 2009; Traveset et al., 2009).”
A review on the effects of alien rodents in the Balearic (Western Mediterranean Sea) and Canary Islands (Eastern Atlantic Ocean) (2009, background): “(2 0 0 6 ) Stone 1990, and references therein; Tonga Islands, McConkey and Drake 2003); seed predation by rats, specifically, causes important declines in the populations of some plant species (New Zealand, Allen et al. 1994; Campbell and Atkinson 2002).”
Invasive rodents on islands: integrating historical and contemporary ecology (2009, background): “For example, while there is ample evidence that invasive rats consume seeds of island plants (e.g. McConkey et al. 2003; Hunt 2007; Wilmshurst et al. 2008), direct field evidence for recruitment limitation is rare (Campbell and Atkinson 2002).”
Are introduced rats (Rattus rattus) both seed predators and dispersers in Hawaii? (2011, background): “Rattus spp. can affect plant communities directly by destroying or dispersing seeds; however, on islands these rats are viewed mainly as seed predators (Campbell and Atkinson 2002; Towns et al. 2006; Meyer and Butaud 2009; Traveset et al. 2009; Towns 2009).”
The impacts of invasive rodents on island invertebrates (2011, background): “exulans) on the distribution, germination or recruitment of plant species (Campbell, 1978; Campbell and Atkinson, 2002; Wilson et al., 2003; Shaw et al., 2005; Wardle et al., 2007; Phiri et al., 2009), although only a few studies have addressed rodent impacts on invertebrate populations via effects ”
Have the Harmful Effects of Introduced Rats on Islands been Exaggerated? (2006, background): “Predicted longer-term responses were increased abundance of terrestrial invertebrates such as the giant orthopteran Deinacrida heteracantha, recovery of many of the 13 species of resident lizards, recolonisation by small burrowing seabirds now confined to offshore rocky islets, and shifts in forest ”
Direct and indirect effects of rats: does rat eradication restore ecosystem functioning of New Zealand seabird islands? (2009, background): “Rats may have additional direct impacts on this community through seed predation and herbivory on seedlings (e.g. Allen et al. 1994; Delgado Garcia 2000; Campbell and Atkinson 2002; McConkey et al. 2003; Smith et al. 2006).”
