The eradication of feral cats from Ascension Island and its subsequent recolonization by seabirds (2010, background): “Removing cats from affected islands can benefit seabirds by reducing mortality (Keitt & Tershy, 2003; Rodriguez et al., 2006; Peck et al., 2008), allowing recolonization of areas from which they were extirpated (Hänel & Chown, 1998; Wolf, 2002) and population recovery (Cooper et al., 1995).”
Intraguild predation and mesopredator release effect on long-lived prey (2009, background): “, 2000) rather than mesopredation, where the presence of n alternative food supply can maintain the key superpredator at n elevated density (e.g. Bonnaud et al., 2007; Peck et al., 2008).”
Catastrophic cat predation: A call for predator profiling in wildlife protection programs (2015, background): “, 2015), indulge in surplus killing (Peck et al., 2008), and specialize on particular prey (Ancillotto et al.”
The diet of feral cats on islands: a review and a call for more studies (2011, background): “Birds were important on islands that harbour important colonies of seabirds and, in these cases, they constitute the main source of biomass in the diet of feral cats (Jones and Barmuta 1998; Bonnaud et al. 2007; Nogales and Medina 2009, Peck et al. 2008, Faulquier et al. 2009).”
