A continental‐scale analysis of feral cat diet in Australia (2015, background): “We compiled an inventory of every vertebrate species and invertebrate group recorded as eaten or killed by feral cats in Australia based on information in the dietary studies, as well as other published accounts of cat predation such as records of cats killing translocated mammals (e.g. Gibson et al”
Ongoing unraveling of a continental fauna: Decline and extinction of Australian mammals since European settlement (2015, background): “Conversely, reintroduction attempts that have not adequately controlled foxes and/or cats have typically failed (74).”
Introduced cats (Felis catus) eating a continental fauna: The number of mammals killed in Australia (2019, background): “Furthermore, many studies have demonstrated that predation by feral cats is the main 124 cause of ongoing mammal declines (Marlow et al. 2015; Moseby et al. 2011; Short 2016).”
Predator exposure improves anti‐predator responses in a threatened mammal (2018, background): “We contend that the current trend towards isolating native prey from introduced predators through exclusion fencing or island reintroductions (Burns, Innes, & Day, 2012; Moseby et al., 2011; Young et al., 2013) is likely to exacerbate the problem of prey naivety because prey species lose their anti-”
Psittacine reintroductions: Common denominators of success (2012, background): “Fischer and Lindenmayer (2000) and Moseby et al. (2011) also reported predation as a major factor influencing reintroduction success of birds, mammals and reptiles.”
Resolving the value of the dingo in ecological restoration (2015, background): “Dingoes killed all seven foxes within 17 days and were implicated in the deaths of at least five of the eight cats (Moseby et al. 2012).”
As clear as mud: A critical review of evidence for the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (2013, background): “Indeed, many such populations of reintroduced threatened fauna only persist on islands or within reserves fenced to exclude dingoes and other eutherian predators (Moseby et al., 2011; Van Dyck and Strahan, 2008).”
Catastrophic cat predation: A call for predator profiling in wildlife protection programs (2015, background): “and stick-nest rat, Leporillus conditor, have occurred when species are reintroduced into fenced reserves or islands where exotic cats and red foxes, Vulpes vulpes, are absent (Copley, 1999; Moseby et al., 2011; Hayward et al., 2014).”
Can we save large carnivores without losing large carnivore science (2017, background): “But such reintroductions continue to fail largely because predators – including dingoes – keep quickly decimating reintroduced mammals (Christensen and Burrows, 1995; Moseby et al., 2011; Bannister, 2014; Armstrong et al., 2015; Bannister et al., 2016).”
Can predator avoidance training improve reintroduction outcomes for the greater bilby in arid Australia (2012, background): “Predation by the introduced feral cat, Felis catus, and red fox, Vulpes vulpes, has been responsible for the failure of many mammal reintroduction programmes in Australia (Fischer & Lindenmayer 2000; Short 2009; Moseby et al. 2011).”
