A breakthrough is coming - a rat-specific toxin that leaves birds, pets, and livestock unharmed. We spoke with Dr Lee Shapiro about norbormide.

Discover how Predator Free Dunedin are using innovative strategies to track and eliminate the last possums on the Otago Peninsula.

Spring has sprung and the stoat mating frenzy has begun. From the moment they open their eyes as babies, female stoats are almost certainly pregnant.

With golden beaches and emerald forests, Rakiura (Stewart Island) has been called “a piece of the primeval world” and is home to many wildlife wonders.

Current traps nab more male stoats than females, which is a big problem. Females are basically always pregnant, non-stop baby factories.

When cold weather pushes rodents indoors, infestations happen. They cause damage by chewing everything. The good news? Owen Stobart says you can prevent it.

Possum butts smell garlicy. Research suggests that predator-emitted volatile organic compounds could be used for predator monitoring.

Why do some stoats get caught in a trap, but others walk on by? Researchers have been diving deep into animal behaviour in an attempt to find out.

When you think of “introduced predators”, what comes to mind? Probably feral cats, rats and stoats. Wasps are introduced predators too.

If we can understand how invasive species use different habitats, we can better predict how their populations might change due to climate change.

A recent study has found high exposure rates of toxoplasmosis in a kiwi population that does not share its habitat with cats.

Stuff them in a roll or slap them on a piece of white bread; sausages are a Kiwi classic. Stoats and feral cats have a taste for them too.

Described as “murderous saveloys with legs”, new research suggests we pay closer attention to the recovery of native species rather than simply counting the number of predators killed.

Cats are the eighth-most populous species in the world. But, as invasive species across many continents, their popularity comes at a tremendous cost.

Curfews, leash walking, registration, and desexing. These are just some of the ways Australia is addressing domestic cat management.
