Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 20. Rattus exulans, the Polynesian Rat (Rodentia: Muridae)

Steven C. Hess, Carmen C. Antaky, Kailey M. Alcosiba, Michael W. Fall et autres

Polynesian rats (Rattus exulans) are perhaps the fourth most widespread detrimental species of invasive commensal rodent on the planet. Here, we review their biology, impacts, and management in Pacific Islands. Their temperate to tropical distribution resulted from accompanying ancestral Polynesian settlers during …

Anticoagulant residues associated with an attempted rodent eradication from a subtropical coral atoll

Carmen C. Antaky, Israel L. Leinbach, Jonathan H. Plissner, Elizabeth Flint et autres

The use of rodenticides is a primary method for eradicating rodents from islands for conservation purposes. Rodenticide residue monitoring is often incorporated into rodent eradication project planning to understand the potential effects on nontarget species, but robust long-term sampling is often challenging …

Reexamination of Rat Lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis: Nematoda) Prevalence in Wild Rattus spp. on the Island of Kaua‘i after a 60-Year Hiatus1

Israel L. Leinbach, Chris N. Niebuhr, Jaime A. Botet-Rodriguez, Carmen C. Antaky et autres

In August of 2023, we conducted the first survey of rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) in wild rats (Rattus spp.) from the island of Kaua‘i since 1964. Our objectives were to capture and obtain specimens of wild rats from Kaua‘i, to confirm infection …

Efficacy of X-Ray Phytosanitary Irradiation on the Infectivity and Reproduction of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Experimentally Infected Rats

Susan Irene Jarvi, Lisa Kaluna, Steven C. Hess, Lindsey J. Hamilton et autres

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a globally distributed nematode and the leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis in humans. As a global hotspot for this disease, Hawaii's agricultural exports may be contributing to the spread of A. cantonensis. Phytosanitary irradiation doses of 150 or 400 …

Development and evaluation of prototype toxicant-delivery bait stations for the control of the small Indian mongoose

Carmen C. Antaky, Robert T. Sugihara, Israel L. Leinbach, Shane R. Siers et autres

We conducted research to develop a safe and effective toxic bait to control the small Indian mongoose (Urva auropunctata), an invasive vertebrate predator impacting the survival of native species in Hawai'i and in other parts of the world.A preserved fish-based bait product …

In vivo efficacy of pyrantel pamoate as a post-exposure prophylactic for rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis)

John Prasanth Jacob, Argon Steel, Lisa Kaluna, Steven C. Hess et autres

Rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) is a neurotropic nematode, and the leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis worldwide. The parasite is usually contracted through ingestion of infected gastropods, often hidden in raw or partially cooked produce. Pharmaceutical grade pyrantel pamoate was evaluated as a …

Dispersal Under the Seabird Paradox: Probability, Life History, or Spatial Attributes?

Carmen C. Antaky, Lindsay C. Young, Jeremy L. Ringma, Melissa R. Price

Management of avian species threatened by land use and climate change requires a thorough understanding of their site fidelity and dispersive behaviors. Among long-lived colonial seabird species, the behavior of returning to the natal colony to breed, i.e., natal philopatry, may increase …

HAWAIIAN BAND-RUMPED STORM PETREL PROJECT

M. Philips Price, Carmen C. Antaky

The Hawaiian Band-rumped Storm Petrel (Oceanodroma castro), listed under the Endangered Species Act in 2016, is finally receiving much-needed protection, but little is known about its genetic diversity in the Hawaiian islands. Once widespread, the range of this species is now restricted …

Unexpectedly high genetic diversity in a rare and endangered seabird in the Hawaiian Archipelago

Carmen C. Antaky, Emily E. Conklin, Robert John Toonen, Ingrid S. S. Knapp et autres

Seabirds in the order of Procellariiformes have one of the highest proportions of threatened species of any avian order. Species undergoing recovery may be predicted to have a genetic signature of a bottleneck, low genetic diversity, or higher rates of inbreeding. The …

Nesting ecology in the Hawaiian population of an endangered seabird, the Band-rumped Storm-Petrel ( Oceanodroma castro )

Carmen C. Antaky, Nicole K. Galase, Melissa R. Price

The first confirmed nesting location of the Hawaiian population of the Band-rumped Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma castro), an endangered seabird, was recently discovered on Hawai‘i island after decades of searching. Following the discovery, we analyzed nest site preferences of the Band-rumped Storm-Petrel at this …

Phytobiomes are compositionally nested from the ground up

Anthony S. Amend, Gerald M. Cobián, Áki Jarl Láruson, Kristina Remple et autres

Plant-associated microbes are critical players in host health, fitness and productivity. Despite microbes’ importance in plants, seeds are mostly sterile, and most plant microbes are recruited from an environmental pool. Surprisingly little is known about the processes that govern how environmental microbes …
