Eradication of common mynas Acridotheres tristis from Denis Island, Seychelles.

Background: In Seychelles, the common myna has been shown to have a negative impact on endangered endemic birds on Denis Island, interfering with breeding attempts and attacking adult endemic birds at their nests. This stimulated an attempt to eradicate the island's mynas.

Results: The eradication was undertaken in three phases, overall killing 1186 mynas and lasting 5 years.
