Citations in the corpus
- Phylogeography of the introduced species Rattus rattus in the western Indian Ocean, with special emphasis on the colonization history of Madagascar (2010, background): “However, north-western Mediterranean islands such as Lavezzi were probably colonized at an early stage of European colonization, probably by a few centuries bc (Ruffino et al., 2009).”
- Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 11. Rattus rattus, the Black Rat (Rodentia: Muridae) (2014, background): “The effects of R. rattus on seabirds are more variable than those on native forest birds; some seabirds are highly vulnerable, whereas others appear largely unaffected by presence of R. rattus ( Jones et al. 2008, Ruffino et al. 2009).”
- Invasive rodents on islands: integrating historical and contemporary ecology (2009, background): “In addition, Ruffino et al. (2008) use data from hundreds of Mediterranean islands to investigate how burrowing seabirds have managed to persist on some islands for 2,000 years after the introduction of R. rattus.”
- The Biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea: Estimates, Patterns, and Threats (2010, background): “The main threats for most seabirds and marine turtles in the Mediterranean arise from habitat degradation and loss [110,252].”
- Nest boxes: A successful management tool for the conservation of an endangered seabird (2012, background): “Their current populations are confined to rat-free sites, which remain scarce among Mediterranean islands (Ruffino et al., 2009).”
