It is now surely well-known that the introduced House Mice of Gough Island in the South Atlantic are wreaking havoc amongst its birds up to the size of the near-endemic and Critically Endangered Tristan Albatross Diomedea dabbenena , whose chicks are...
conservation actions in case of emergency situations. It is expected that in due course an attempt will be made to rid Gough Island of its introduced House Mice Mus musculus , which cause massive breeding failure in Tristan Albatrosses every year (...
efforts are proceeding on all four islands in the Tristan da Cunha group, for Procumbent Pearlwort Sagina procumbens on Gough , New Zealand Flax Phormium tenax (and other plant species) on Nightingale and Inaccessible, and forLoganberry Rubus...
colleagues report this month in the journal Wildlife Research on the susceptibility to poison bait of the "killer mice" of Gough Island, home of the Critically Endangered Tristan Albatross Diomedea dabbenena , whose chicks the introduced House Mice...
The Tristan da Cunha islands, which include the Gough and Inaccessible Islands World Heritage Site , form part of a United Kingdom Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. The islands have been in the news this year because of the Oliva oiling...

needed to go in advance, as I leave near-immediately after the ACAP Advisory Committee meeting on my annual field visit to Gough Island in the South Atlantic. Realizing a long-standing ambition, I spent a few hours within the albatross colony at Punta...
will surely help in developing and expanding the needed skills and knowledge base for future efforts, such as ridding UK's Gough Island in the South Atlantic of its "killer mice", and so saving the Critically Endangered Tristan Albatross Diomedea...
ship, the m.v. S.A. Agulhas , sailed from Cape Town on the annual relief of the South African weather station on the UK's Gough Island, part of the Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic. The ship is due to arrive at Gough on the 17th, via the main...

Simpson Scholarship from the Royal Naval Birdwatching Society I commenced a demographic study of Southern Giant Petrels on Gough Island in the South Atlantic, the species' most northerly breeding population in 2010 ( click here ). As part of the study,...

Every year Tristan Albatross Diomedea dabbenena chicks on Gough Island are attacked and killed by introduced House Mice Mus musculus during winter months when in their early downy stage. As a consequence, breeding success is too low to support the...
a Tristan Albatross by it being banded as Yellow H89/J-14156. It was metal-banded as a chick in the Tafelkop study colony on Gough Island in the South Atlantic on 29 October 2000. It was next recorded as a "loafer" (non-breeding visitor) in the Gonydale...
on Australia's 12 800-ha Macquarie Island ( click here ), the way seems to be opening for an attempt on the mice on 6 800-ha Gough Island in the South Atlantic. A successful eradication on Gough will do much to help save the Critically Endangered...

or Gony Diomedea dabbenena is endemic to the Tristan da Cunha island group in the South Atlantic, where it breeds on Gough and Inaccessible Islands, which together form a World Heritage Site. Practically the whole species' population breeds on Gough,...
