- - - - RSD only functional in FT skuas?
        
        It could be breeding-role specialisation with an interaction with breeding strategy (FT vs NT) is important in the selective advantage of RSD. If the work only focuses on FT birds (as in Phillips, Dawson and Ross (2002)) then the important differences between NT and FT group would be missed.
        
        NT birds may require smaller females and males to be successful as sneakers. While larger FT females may defend more successfully due to their size. Large = looking for a fight. Small = avoiding a fight.
        
        Breeding-role specialisation, RSD and large females may only be a selective advantage for FT birds.
        
        I am getting the idea that FT and NT birds use two different breeding strategies and it is size dependent. TBC
- - - - Focuses on the effect of multiple interacting invasive species
      - Mentions effect of invasive species replacing functional role of a native species
      - Doesn't describe an eradication as a disturbance. Although essentially eradications like introductions both are disturbances
  - - - Apparent competition (impacts sensitive prey) (Brodier et al 2011)
      - Prey/ switching/hyperpredation of native prey
      - Reduces resources for predators
      - May become more of an issue as eradication programs (technology/feasibility) expand into more complex ecosystems. E.g. Larger areas with more complex trophic webs
