“…At these sites, factors other than predation -probably food or habitat scarcity -may be secondarily limiting, or co-limiting, kererū. For example, Rotoiti Mainland Island is comprised entirely of beech forest, which is not high-quality habitat for kererū (Burge et al 2021). Supplementary feeding experiments at these sites would test this hypothesis.…”

“…Second, the low reproductive rate of kererū means that there may be a considerable lag before increased numbers of kererū are observed in sanctuaries. Finally, kererū are highly mobile, with home ranges as large as 31 732 ha (Powlesland et al 2011) and excellent ability to cross habitat gaps (Burge et al 2021). These factors make the interpretation of responses to management difficult: the kererū detected at non-treatment sites may be the same individuals detected in sanctuaries.…”

“…Ecosanctuaries may eventually provide source individuals to colonise a mammal predator-free landscape (Parkes et al 2017;Parker et al 2022), but many ecosanctuaries have little high-quality habitat around them and poor connectivity to it. The extra isolation of peninsula-fenced ecosanctuaries that protects them against invading pests also isolates them from connected habitats suitable for dispersing gap-limited birds (Burge et al 2021). Ecosanctuaries may benefit from isolation in the short term because emigration of threatened birds is limited, but connectivity to adjacent forests is desirable in the long term.…”

“…High-quality habitat in fragmented landscapes is only useful if birds can reach it (Burge et al 2017(Burge et al , 2021. Individuals may recolonise unoccupied sites by dispersal from intensively managed ecosanctuaries if the species can make the journey (e.g.…”
