- The threat of invasive species to IUCN-listed critically endangered species: A systematic review (2021, result): “As regards Australia, in contrast to other continents, the general pattern of extinction of landmammals is most likely due to the introduction of mammal predators and changed fire regimes (Woinarski et al., 2015; Kearney et al., 2019).”
- Responses of invasive predators and native prey to a prescribed forest fire (2017, background): “Predation by invasive red foxes and feral cats, and inappropriate fire regimes are major drivers of declines in Australia’s native mammals (Woinarski et al. 2015).”
- Introduced cats (Felis catus) eating a continental fauna: The number of mammals killed in Australia (2019, background): “…that predation by 590 cats contributed to or caused the widespread loss and extinction of many Australian mammal 591 species (Radford et al. 2018; Woinarski et al. 2015), and continues to cause to the ongoing decline of 592 many others (Clark et al. 1995; Dufty 1994; Lacy and Clark 1990; Marlow…”
- Drivers of Extinction Risk in Terrestrial Vertebrates (2017, background): “The globally lower effect of invasive species on mammals may depend on scale, with Australian mammals particularly sensitive to invasive species (Woinarski et al. 2015).”
- Quantifying extinction risk and forecasting the number of impending Australian bird and mammal extinctions (2018, background): “This estimate is about five times higher than the 1–2 taxa per decade that has been occurring historically for the Australian mammal fauna (Woinarski et al. 2015).”
- How many reptiles are killed by cats in Australia? (2018, background): “They have caused severe detrimental impacts on the Australian mammal fauna (Woinarski et al. 2015) and are a major source of mortality for Australian birds (Woinarski et al. 2017a).”
- How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “In Australia, since their first introduction in 1788, feral cats have spread to now occupy the entire continent and most larger islands (Legge et al., 2017), and have been implicated in the decline and extinction of many native mammal species (Woinarski et al., 2015).”
- Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “The extinction of the Macquarie Island parakeet Cyanoramphus erythrotis was attributed to hyperpredation by cats following the introduction of rabbits (Taylor, 1979), and similar patterns have been described for the impact of cats on Australian conilurine rodents (Smith and Quin, 1996) and on endang”
- Invasive predators and global biodiversity loss (2016, background): “Central America (including the Caribbean) has experienced the most extinctions (33 species), followed by Micro-/Mela-/ Polynesia (25), Australia (21), the Madagascar region (20), New Zealand (15), and Hawaii (11), with the remaining regions having 0–7 species extinctions each (Fig.”
- Stop Jumping the Gun: A Call for Evidence‐Based Invasive Predator Management (2017, background): “2011), and along with the introduced red fox Vulpes vulpes, have contributed to the extinction of more than 20 Australian mammals (Woinarski et al. 2015).”
