Reducing negative effects of introduced animals on native biotas in Hawaii: what is being done, what needs doing, and the role of national parks
Stone CP and Loope LL. 1987. Reducing negative effects of introduced animals on native biotas in Hawaii: what is being done, what needs doing, and the role of national parks. Environmental Conservation. 14(3):245-258
Describes the impacts of introduced species in near-natural environments of the Hawaiian Islands, and discusses the possibilities for preserving native biotas in the face of these impacts. Discussion centers on Haleakala and Hawaii Volcanoes National Parks, but is relevant to other near-natural Hawaiian areas that are managed for preservation of native species. Introduced species discussed include: feral goats, feral pigs, black rats and house mice, mongooses, feral cats and dogs, introduced birds, and alien invertebrates.
