Atkinson; introduced mammals & models for conservation.

Atkinson, I. (2001). Introduced mammals and models for restoration. Biological Conservation, 99: 81-96. (1 copy)

Traces the development of ecological restoration in NZ and discusses factors that have inflenced its direction. Factors: (1) The extent to which introduced animals have changed selective forces operating on the native biota, (2) our improved capacity to control or remove introduced mammals, and (3) the growing realization that there are sometimes opportunities to rebuild former trophic guilds even though restoration of the full system is not possible.
