Eradication of stoats ( Mustela erminea ) from Secretary Island , New Zealand
Stoats (Mustelia erminea) are known to be good swimmers. Following their liberation into New Zealand, stoats reached many of the remote coastal islands of Fiordland after six years. Stoats probably reached Secretary Island (8140 ha) in the late 1800s. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are the only other mammalian pest present on Secretary Island; surprisingly, rodents have never established. The signif...

متن کاملPersistence of sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) and diphacinone in hen eggs for control of stoats (Mustela erminea)
Hen eggs injected with either sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) or diphacinone are being used by the Department of Conservation for the control of stoats (Mustela erminea ). The eggs remain attractive to stoats for at least 1 month. This study investigates the persistence of the toxins in eggs incubated at two temperatures of 1080 in eggs incubated at both temperatures and the amount of diphacino...
متن کاملRange and Diet of Stoats (mustela Erminea) in a New Zealand Beech Forest
Home range and diet of stoats inhabiting beech forest were examined by trapping and radiotracking. Eleven stoats (6 female, 5 male) were fitted with radio-transmitters. Minimum home ranges of five females averaged 124 ± 21 ha and of four males 206 ± 73 ha. Range lengths of females averaged 2.3 ± 0.3 km and of males 4.0 ± 0.9 km. These differences were not statistically significant. Adult female...
متن کاملSelection of alpine grasslands over beech forest by stoats (Mustela erminea) in montane southern New Zealand
Predation by introduced stoats is now considered a major threat to the population viability of several New Zealand endemic bird species. Historically stoat research and management has focused on beech forests and little is known about the ecology of stoats in the alpine grasslands occurring above the natural altitudinal limit of beech forest. Several stoat control operations in beech forest val...
