Assessment of non-target impact of 1080-poisoning for vertebrate pest control on weta (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae and Rhaphidophoridae) and other invertebrates in artificial refuges
Artificial refuges and mark-recapture techniques were used to monitor the non-target impacts of handbroadcast application (simulating aerial application) of Wanganui No.7 cereal-based baits containing 0.15% (1500 μg g) 1080 on populations of weta and other invertebrates in Tararua Forest Park, North Island, New Zealand. Wellington tree weta (Hemideina crassidens) and a cave weta (Isoplectron sp...
متن کاملBiochemical and Histopathological Changes Induced by Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080) in Mallard Ducks
Public concern over inadvertent kills of native birds following large-scale aerial poisoning operations for possum has highlighted deficiencies in information concerning the effects of 1080 on nontarget species. In this study biochemical and histopathological changes were measured in adult male mallard ducks (Anas platyrynchos) dosed orally with 1080. The toxin was quickly absorbed into the blo...
متن کاملA Review of Recent Regulatory and Environmental Toxicology Studies on 1080: Results and Implications
Sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) is a highly toxic vertebrate pesticide that has been widely used for possum and rabbit control in New Zealand since the 1950s. Because of its importance in pest control and the highly toxic nature of this compound, its environmental fate, persistence, non-target impacts and general toxicology have been and continue to be extensively studied. A series of in vitro ...
متن کاملThe Toxicity of Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080) to Huberia Striata, a New Zealand Native Ant
Although many species of native invertebrates have been identified on toxic baits containing sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) following aerial operations for possum control, few quantitative data are available to determine the risk of primary or secondary poisoning that may result from these exposures. This paper reports on a series of studies conducted to determine the risk of 1080 exposure to ...
متن کاملEradication of black rats Rattus rattus from Anacapa Island
Removing invasive rats from islands is a powerful conservation tool, and practitioners are now targeting larger islands for rat eradication. As they do so, they face the challenge of mitigating for potential non-target impacts on native biodiversity that may be susceptible to rodenticides. We report on the eradication of black rats Rattus rattus from Anacapa Island, California, in 2001–2002, wh...
