Yellow crazy ant
- Potentially, Yellow crazy ants are the most serious threat facing Abbott’s booby.
- Whilst a direct impact on breeding adults, eggs or nestlings has not been detected, the effect on ecosystem function is likely to lead to degradation and loss of essential breeding habitat.
- It is essential the control program for crazy ants be continued as a high priority action, with the proviso that avoidance of accidental poisoning of Abbott’s booby, and minimisation of disturbance by bait distribution methods, receive the highest priority within that action.
