• A continental‐scale analysis of feral cat diet in Australia (2015, background): “Reducing the harmful impact of feral cats is a priority for conservation managers across the globe (Daniels et al., 2001; Medway, 2004; Woinarski et al., 2011; Loss et al., 2013; Nogales et al., 2013), and success in achieving this aim requires a detailed understanding of feral cat ecology across a…”
• Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “Through predation (Doherty et al., 2015), competition (Norbury, 2001), hybridisation (Daniels et al., 2001) and disease (Banks and Hughes, 2012), invasive mammalian predators are among the most damaging of all invasive species.”
• A diagnosis for the Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris): a tool for conservation action for a critically‐endangered felid (2005, background): “…the domestic cat appears to be characterised by the possession of the traditional pelage characters of the Scottish wildcat (Beaumont et al., 2001; Daniels et al., 2001; Macdonald et al., 2004; Yamaguchi et al., 2004b), suggesting the importance and usefulness of the pelage for conservation of…”
• Spatio‐temporal sharing between the European wildcat, the domestic cat and their hybrids (2008, background): “For domestic cats, the home-range sizes we estimated were within the range of values reported in Scotland (Corbett, 1979; Daniels et al., 2001).”
