- W2596707971 abstract "The importance of oceanic islands for conservation of native species is often affected by the introduction of invasive species. Introduced mammalian predators such as feral cats (Felis catus) and rats (Rattus sp.), have been responsible for population decline and extinction of many native species on oceanic islands worldwide. Christmas Island, located in the Indian Ocean, is an example of how introduced mammals have influenced the population of endemic species even to the point of extinction. A management plan for the control of feral cats and rats has been implemented on the island since 2010. The effectiveness of a baiting programme for rats within the residential area (as part of the management plan) was monitored in this study. Twenty rats (ten in each site) were trapped in two study areas within townsites (Settlement and Upper Poon Saan). Rats were radio-collared and released, and then bait stations were opened containing Racumin paste sprayed with coconut milk as an additive. The baiting had a mean efficacy of 76.5%. There was a difference between the two sites but it was not quite statistically significant (Fisher’s Exact Test P = 0.053) with a mortality of 100% at the Settlement site and 55.5% at the Upper Poon Saan site. The mean time of action for bait effect for both sites was 5.6 ± 0.6 days and the total mean bait consumption per bait station was 41.6 ± 9.07 g over 10 days. The results of this study suggest that the type of bait currently in use is adequate, but the spacing of baits may not be sufficient to successfully control rats on Christmas Island, particularly in the residential area where there are other food sources. It is recommended that the rubbish in the residential area be removed to reduce the available habitat and food for rats, which will aid the control programme." @default.
