- Beyond control : wider implications for the management of biological invasions (2006, background): “In contrast, removal of rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus from Sonoran desert islands led to changes in plant species composition that were expected from a knowledge of grazing preferences, and thus confirmed strong top-down control of the vegetation by introduced alien herbivores ( Donlan, Tershy & Col”
- Diversity, invasive species and extinctions in insular ecosystems (2008, unknown): “2001; Roemer, Donlan & Courchamp 2002).”
- Invasive Rodent Eradication on Islands (2007, background): “Furthermore, invasive mammal eradications offer unique opportunities for largescale ecological experiments (Donlan et al. 2002; Croll et al. 2005).”
- A conservation paradox for the 21st century: The European wild rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, an invasive alien and an endangered native species (2008, background): “The polyphagous, but hierarchical, diet of rabbits allows them to switch forage species, allowing this herbivore to continue to flourish despite a decrease in preferred plant species (Donlan et al., 2002).”
- Research for Requiems: the Need for More Collaborative Action in Eradication of Invasive Species (2003, background): “…Veitch & Clout 2002), (2) critically evaluates existing tools for invasive-species eradication (e.g., Nogales et al., 2004), (3) develops new eradication tools (e.g., Courchamp & Cornell 2000), and (4) exploits eradication programs as large-scale ecological experiments (e.g., Donlan et al. 2002).”
- Herbivory on aquatic vascular plants by the introduced golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Lao PDR (2005, background): “It is for instance well known that invasive herbivores such as rabbits, goats and donkeys can have dramatic influences on species composition, habitat structure and ecosystem processes in terrestrial ecosystems (Donlan et al. 2002; Holmgren 2002), while the effect of invasive herbivores in freshwate”
- Bio-Economics of Large-Scale Eradication of Feral Goats From Santiago Island, Galápagos (2009, background): “Nonnative herbivores, such as goats (Capra hircus), have caused wholesale changes on insular plant commun- ities, as well as secondary impacts via habitat degradation (Coblentz 1978, Ebenhard 1988, Donlan et al. 2002, Campbell and Donlan 2005).”
- Feral Goat Eradications on Islands (2005, background): “Island vertebrates and plants are vulnerable to the impacts of rats (Rattus spp.), feral cats (Felis catus), and introduced herbivores (Elton 1958; King 1985; Ebenhard 1988; Atkinson 1989; Donlan et al. 2002; Nogales et al. 2004).”
- Contradiction in Conservation of Island Ecosystems: Plants, Introduced Herbivores and Avian Scavengers in the Canary Islands (2006, background): “Their release in sensitive island systems has resulted in considerable effects on plant cover, floristic richness, and, subsequently, communities structure (Donlan et al. 2002).”
- Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “…islands and inside predator-proof fence enclosures on the mainland provide experimental opportunities to explore ecosystem function (Zavaleta et al. 2001; Donlan et al. 2002; Sekercioglu et al. 2004), especially (in a New Zealand setting) which and whether predators might limit bird populations.”
