Invasive mammal eradication on islands results in substantial conservation gains
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Global conservation actions to prevent or slow extinctions and protect biodiversity are costly. However, few conservation actions have been evaluated for their efficacy globally, hampering the prioritization of conservation actions. Islands are key areas for biodiversity conservation because they are home to more than 15% of terrestrial species and more than one-third of critically endangered species; nearly two-thirds of recent extinctions were of island species. This research quantifies the benefits to native island fauna of removing invasive mammals from islands. Our results highlight the importance of this conservation measure for protecting the world's most threatened species.

Many island ecosystems that are recovering after eradications of invasive mammals would not have done so in the absence of conservation action and policy responses.
“and many island ecosystems that are recovering after eradications of invasive mammals would not have done so ( 80 ).”
From Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change (2019) · cites this paper as [80]
The Results report recovery of many native island species and populations following invasive mammal eradications. But the paper says its review was restricted to individual-species responses because few studies consider ecosystem-scale impacts; it does not establish that many whole ecosystems would not have recovered without conservation action.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
