Antipodes antipasto: mice make a meal of Subantarctic insects
Abstract
Invertibrate surveys on Antipodes Island and adjacent Bollons Island provided a unique opportunity to examine the impact of mouse predation on the invertibrate fauna. The diversity and abundance of larger beetle species (length >4mm) on mouse-infested Antipodes Island were compared with those of mouse-free Bollons Island.
