The use of articial perches to increase predation on house mice (Mus domesticus) by raptors [1994]

Abstract
Changes in raptor and mouse abundance over time in response to the introduction of articial perches for raptors were analysed using
generalised linear models. The placement of articial perches around the perimeter of irrigated soybean crops signicantly increased the
number of diurnal raptors visiting and hunting over these crops compared with untreated crops. This increased hunting pressure reduced (a)
the rate at which the mouse population increased in the crops and (b) the maximum mouse population density. These eects were greater
when articial perches were placed at 100-m spacings rather than 200-m spacings. No signicant reductions in mouse damage were detected
as mice failed to reach threshold densities for crop damage on the untreated plots. Despite this, the use of articial perches to attract birds of
prey may be a useful addition to rodent management strategies.
