Over the past decade rodents have emerged as
significant agricultural pests throughout Southeast Asia. This book summarizes
current knowledge of the 20+ rodents that are major agricultural pests in SE
Asia as well as other non-pest rodents. Its clear descriptions and illustrations
will help people identify these species. For each one there is a summary of
geographic distribution, diet, habits and behaviour. The book includes practical
instructions on trapping methods, safe handling of rats and mice, and techniques
for assessing reproductive activity. The book can be also be
downloaded from the ACIAR Web site.
