Impacts of Introduced Predators on Seabirds
chapter
posted on 2023-05-22, 18:13 authored by Towns, DR, Vernon Byrd, G, Jones, HP, Rauzon, MJ, Russell, JC, Chris WilcoxChris WilcoxThis chapter focuses on the impacts of seabird predators on seabirds and describes the ways to measure these impacts. It identifies the most damaging of these invasive species and assesses which species of seabirds are the most vulnerable to them. It evaluates the predators in terms of their global distribution and efficacy in reducing seabird populations. It outlines methods for measuring the effects of invasive predators, and emphasizes the value of deleting invasive predators from island food webs as a mean of determining their impacts. It also examines the impacts of humans as deliberate and accidental predators, and as being competitors who exploit fisheries.
