The pipit and red-tailed hawk.
Please verify this information with the assigned article for confirmation.
Rats and mice on South Georgia Island are considered an invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt local ecosystems and threaten native wildlife.
Rats and mice are dangerous to the pipit and pintail birds on South Georgia Island because the birds build their nests on the ground since there are no trees on the island. This makes their nests vulnerable to predation by the invasive rodents.
Researchers got rid of the rats and mice on South Georgia Island by putting out poisoned bait. This method was used to control the invasive rodent populations.
The seabirds on South Georgia likely use sexual reproduction. Most birds reproduce sexually, which involves the combination of genetic material from male and female parents.
