Can redirected aggression explain interspecific attacks by Australian magpies on other birds?
(Brill, 2007)Attacks by participants of conflicts against a third party are referred to as redirected aggression. Usually the third party is a conspecific — few documented cases of redirected aggression against other species exist. The ... -
Converting predation cues into conservation tools: The effect of light on mouse foraging behaviour
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Prey face a conflict between acquiring energy and avoiding predators and use both direct and indirect cues to assess predation risk. Illumination, an indirect cue, influences nocturnal rodent foraging behaviour. New Zealand ... -
Do ship rats display predatory behaviour towards house mice?
(Elsevier, 2013)Control operations for invasive ship rats, Rattus rattus, in New Zealand forests are often followed by increased house mouse, Mus musculus, detections suggesting rats suppress mice. A potential mechanism is intraguild ... -
Effect of grazing on ship rat density in forest fragments of lowland Waikato, New Zealand
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2010)Ship rat (Rattus rattus) density was assessed by snap-trapping during summer and autumn in eight indigenous forest fragments (mean 5 ha) in rural landscapes of Waikato, a lowland pastoral farming district of the North ... -
Identification of nest predators using continuous time-lapse recording in a New Zealand city
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Predation of eggs and/or chicks is the main cause of nesting failure in birds. Nest predation has been studied in many habitats in New Zealand, but few studies have been conducted in urban ecosystems. Twenty-one nests of ...

Sap feeding behaviour of North Island kaka (Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis, Lorenz 1896) in plantation forests
(The University of Waikato, 1996)North Island kaka (Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis) damage plantation pines (Pinus radiata and Pseudotsuga menziesii) in the Whirinaki Forest. Kaka strip pieces of bark off the trunks to gain access to the sap beneath. ... -
Behavioural interactions and reasons for aggression between Australian magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen) and other birds in New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2006)The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen; magpie hereafter) was introduced to New Zealand from 1864 in an attempt to help control pest invertebrates in pasture. Since the introductions, magpie populations have gradually ... -
House mouse (Mus musculus) use of vertical space and impact on bird nesting success
(University of Waikato, 2016)Prior to human arrival, New Zealand was dominated by birds that had evolved in the absence of mammalian predators. Early Polynesian settlers brought with them the kiore (Rattus exulans), which subsequently decimated many ... -
Foraging behaviours of translocated takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) at two contrasting sites, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2014)The South Island takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) is an endangered ground-dwelling species, endemic to New Zealand. To prevent the species’ extinction, individuals were translocated to protected sites, such as off-shore ... -
Interactions between ship rats and house mice
(University of Waikato, 2012)Interactions between coexisting invasive species can cause complications when their populations are managed to protect native biodiversity. The ship rat (Rattus rattus) is a widespread invasive species often targeted for ...
