biodiversity outcomes that can
be realised when they are absent or present only in low numbers. Mustelids predate on
fledglings. Research confirms that, in mustelid trapping control areas, the survival rate of
native bird fledglings increases by up to 10 times. In the case of the bellbirds, the
survival rate of fledglings increased from 8% (without trapping) to 80% (with trapping).
Mustelids are also likely to have a similar impact on the survival rates of other native
