The story of invasive species in New Zealand is unlike any other in
the world. 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.
