Philippine Rats: Ecology and
Management
This book documents current knowledge on
Philippine rodents, their ecology, systematics, diseases, and management. It
covers a wide array of topics, including the shift in the management of rodent
pests from heavy reliance on chemical control to the emergence of ecologically
based rodent management; biology and management in complex agroecosystems;
ecology of pest and native rodent species; and their impact on farming
communities.
The book comes with two CDs: simple identification
keys to quickly differentiate pest and nonpest rodent species in rice and
nonrice habitats in the Philippines, and a searchable comprehensive bibliography
and database on Philippine rodents.
For more information, contact Grant Singleton (g.singleton@cgiar.org).
Book price (inclusive of shipping and handling costs) within the Philippines is
Php 1,350; developed countries US$30; developing countries US$40

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.
