The use of Starlicide in preliminary trials to control invasive common myna Acridotheres tristis populations on St Helena and Ascension islands, Atlantic Ocean.pdf

Introduced common mynas Acridotheres tristis have been implicated as a threat to native biodiversity on the oceanic islands of St Helena and Ascension (UK). A rice-based bait treated with Starlicide® wasbroadcast for consumption by flocks of common mynas at the government rubbish tips on the two islands during investigation of potential myna management techniques.
