• Biogeographical variation in the diet of Holarctic martens (genus Martes, Mammalia: Carnivora: Mustelidae): adaptive foraging in generalists (2011, background): “Rodents are their staple prey, but when rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are available they will switch to optimize their energy budgets (Malo et al., 2004; Lozano et al., 2006).”
• Spatial ecology of the European wildcat in a Mediterranean ecosystem: dealing with small radio‐tracking datasets in species conservation (2009, background): “Despite being generally considered to be a species bound to forest habitats, where it mainly feeds on rodents (Nowell & Jackson, 1996), the European wildcat elects the European rabbit as preferred prey whenever it is available (Lozano et al., 2006).”
• The diet of feral cats on islands: a review and a call for more studies (2011, result): “For the analyses in this study we did not differentiate between the types of samples because several studies found only minor differences between sample types (Lozano et al. 2006; Souza and Bager 2008), but see Jones et al. (2003).”
• Evidence of Invasive Felis silvestris Predation on Propithecus verreauxi at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, Madagascar (2008, background): “…the skull of the Propithecus. primary prey are rodents, birds, small reptiles, and amphibians, their preferred prey varies according to a number of factors; e.g., in parts of Europe, wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus, which can be >3 kg) are preferred prey (Lozano et al. 2006; Malo et al. 2004).”
