By the mid-thirteenth century, the main islands of the country were the last large landmasses on Earth to remain uninhabited by humans, or any other land mammals. New Zealand’s endemic fauna evolved in isolation until first Polynesians, and then Europeans, arrived with a host of companion animals such as rats and cats in tow. Well-equipped with teeth and claws, these small furry mammals, along with the later arrival of stoats and ferrets, have devastated the fragile populations of unique birds, lizards and insects. Carolyn M. King brings together the necessary historical analysis and recent ecological research to understand this long, slow tragedy. As a comprehensive historical perspective on the fate of an iconic endemic fauna, this book offers much-needed insight into one of New Zealand’s longest-running national crises. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Species introduction; Fauna; Predator Free New Zealand; Mice; Norway rats; Wild European rabbits; Human in | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-32138-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-32140-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-32138-3Series ISSN 2730-9746 Series E-ISSN 2730-9754 | | issn_series | 2730-9746 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
