Summary
A 2015 review (Arcilla et al. 2015) reported that removing non-native chaff flower Achyranthes japonica from Dok Islet in South Korea increased nest abundance and productivity of Swinhoe’s storm petrel Oceanodroma monhris. Statistical significance was not assessed. Between 2007 and 2012, >5,000 kg of chaff flower was removed from Dok Islet. In 2007, researchers recorded 27 petrels entangled in the vegetation, 184 nests and 41 fledged juveniles. In 2012, researchers recorded one entangled petrel, 281 nests and 65 fledged juveniles. The review does not report any further methodological details.
