How many reptiles are killed by cats in Australia? (2018, background): “As with most other terrestrial vertebrate groups, many reptile species across theworldhavedeclinedorbecomeextinct because of invasive predator species, with susceptibility especially pronounced for island-endemic species (Böhm et al. 2016; Doherty et al. 2016).”
Population impacts of free‐ranging domestic cats on mainland vertebrates (2017, background): “Cats have contributed to 26% of reptile, bird, and mammal extinctions (Doherty et al. 2016) and pose a global risk to threatened and endangered vertebrates (Bellard et al. 2016).”
Alien versus native species as drivers of recent extinctions (2019, background): “These aliens can cause declines and extinctions in native species through a range of mechanisms, including competition (Gilbert and Levine 2013), disease transmission (Lips 2016) and predation (Doherty et al. 2016).”
How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “Predation by cats has been a major cause of the extinction of many bird species on many islands (Blackburn et al., 2004; Bonnaud et al., 2011; Doherty et al., 2016; Duncan and Blackburn, 2007; Medina et al., 2011; Nogales et al., 2013), but the species-level impacts of cat predation on birds in…”
