Responses of Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) to Removal of Introduced Pacific Rats from IslandsConservation Biology, 21
The recent review of global responses by seabirds to eradications of invasive mammals from islands (Brooke et al., ) is a valuable synthesis, and follows a more general account of the responses of a range of terrestrial groups (Jones et al., ). However, as Brooke et al. () emphasize, the focus on seabirds provides insights into their behaviour, their capacity for recolonization, and the speed at which recolonization may progress. This focus on seabirds is crucial. As ecosystem drivers (engineers), seabird recovery should provide a platform for other responses in island ecosystems (e.g. Mulder et al., ), with indirect effects that can even flow into invertebrate food webs (Thoresen et al., ).The review also gives cause to re‐examine general theories about seabird behaviour. The unexpectedly rapid recolonization provides evidence that many seabird species are less philopatric to natal breeding sites than previously predicted. Furthermore, a pool of immature birds may be constantly prospecting for new sites, enabling them to rapidly take advantage of newly provided predator‐free habitats (Brooke et al., ). These findings identify the need for a more nuanced view of potential seabird colonization, since dispersal behaviour now appears to vary between and perhaps within families.Beyond seabird behaviour, the study by Brooke et al.
