Watts, C.H., Armstrong, D.P., Innes, J. and Thornburrow, D. 2011 Dramatic increases in weta (Orthoptera) following mammal eradication on Maungatautari – evidence from pitfalls and tracking tunnels. New Zealand Journal of Ecology (2011) 35(3):261-272 (3 copies)

• Monitored weta populations before and after predator eradication in Maungatautari       
• Compared the effectiveness of two different monitoring methods: lethal pitfall traps and footprint tracking tunnels
• Saw an increase in weta post-eradication, as well as an increase in the proportion of adults
