Very nice!
Remember the Mantas vs Coconut trees paper?
There, introduced Coconut trees were shown to reduce seabird abundance by being unsuitable as roosting and nesting trees; here, this new paper examines the effects of invasive rats killing off seabird colonies in Chagos and shows that as a consequence, the biomass of Coral Reef communities adjacent to rat-infested islands is substantially smaller than next to rat-free islands.
