Secondary Poisoning of Mammalian Predators during Possum and Rodent Control Operations at Trounson Kauri Park, Northland, New Zealand
A poison baiting operation at Trounson Kauri Park in Northland, New Zealand using first 1080 and then brodifacoum targeted possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) and rodents (Rattus rattus, Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus). Predatory mammals were monitored by radio telemetry during the operation. All six feral cats (Felis catus), the single stoat (Mustela erminea) and the single ferret (Mustela fur...

This study aimed to estimate the level of mortality of North Island tomtits (Petroica macrocephala toitoi) during an aerial 1080 possum poisoning operation in Tongariro Forest, New Zealand, and to evaluate transect-based alternatives to banding for monitoring tomtit populations. The operation used 12 g toxic (1080 at 0.15% weight/weight) cereal baits sown at 3 kg/ha. Transects were established ...

An aerial 1080 poison operation for possums at Waipoua Forest in spring 1990 applied cereal pellets lured with cinnamon. Numbers of brown kiwi, moreporks, fernbirds, kokako and common diurnal birds were monitored before, during and after the operation, while small numbers of insects and kauri snails were tested for 1080 uptake. Of the birds only blackbird and tomtit showed possible declines aft...
متن کاملEffects of an aerial 1080 possum poison operation using carrot baits on invertebrates in artificial refuges at Whirinaki
The effects of an aerial 1080 possum poison operation using carrot baits on invertebrates in Whirinaki Forest Park are described from an un-replicated study of artificial refuges attached to tree trunks. Auckland tree weta (Hemideina thoracica), cave weta (Pharmacus sp. and Isoplectron sp.), cockroaches, spiders and harvestmen, and leaf-veined slugs (Athoracophorus bitentaculatus) were the most...
متن کاملAn assessment of the probability of secondary poisoning of forest insectivores following an aer ial 1080 possum control operation
Assays for the toxin sodium monofluoroacetate (compound 1080) were undertaken on arthropods collected from toxic baits after a brushtail possum (Trichosorus vulpecula) control operation in Nothofagus forest in central North Island, New Zealand. The 1080 concentrations measured (mean 57 μg g, max 130 μg g) are considerably higher than those reported by other researchers who collected arthropods ...
