A review of the evidence for potential impacts of black rats (Rattus rattus) on wildlife and humans in Australia (2012, background): “Black rats have been linked to 54% of bird extinctions worldwide (King 1985) and have partially or wholly replaced the native rodents in numerous locations (Burbidge and Manly 2002; Harris 2009).”
The current decline of tropical marsupials in Australia: Is history repeating? (2014, unknown): “Burbidge & Manly (2002) showed that”
Body mass and extinction risk in Australian marsupials: The ‘Critical Weight Range’ revisited (2009, background): “We excluded taxa which occur(ed) on Tasmania and other offshore islands as they have generally been immune from the mammal declines that affected much of the mainland ( Burbidge & Manly 2002 ), probably because of fewer introduced predators.”
The invasion ecology of mammals: a global perspective (2008, background): “Burbidge and Manly (2002) demonstrated a relationship between native mammal extinctions on Australian Islands and the presence of introduced European foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and feral cats.”
Direct and indirect effects of rats: does rat eradication restore ecosystem functioning of New Zealand seabird islands? (2009, background): “…of native seabirds (e.g. Atkinson 1985; Blackburn et al. 2004; Jones et al. 2008), reptiles (e.g. Whitaker 1973; Towns and Daugherty 1994; Cree et al. 1995), large invertebrates (e.g. Ramsey 1978; Bremner et al. 1984), and mammals (e.g. Burbidge and Manly 2002) as a result of predation by rats.”
Stemming the tide: progress towards resolving the causes of decline and implementing management responses for the disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia (2015, background): “For continental-scale analyses, Burbidge et al. (2008) and McKenzie and Burbidge (2002) compiled a broad bioregional-scale distributional matrix for Australian mammals with interpretation of historically changing distributions, but this database is too coarse for detailed examination of changes in…”
Analysis of factors implicated in the recent decline of Australia's mammal fauna (2007, methodology): “Twenty-two of these are now extinct (McKenzie & Burbidge, 2002).”
