Cats (Felis catus) are more abundant and are the dominant predator of woylies (Bettongia penicillata) after sustained fox (Vulpes vulpes) control (2015, background): “Also, the fauna recoveries observed in the southwest following the introduction of fox baiting in the 1980s occurred irrespective of thepresenceof cats (Burrows et al. 2003).”

Seven considerations about dingoes as biodiversity engineers: the socioecological niches of dogs in Australia (2012, background): “1999), dogs and foxes are approximately equally controlled by effective dog-control programs and, moreover, dog control usually affects fox populations first (Fleming 1996; Fleming et al. 1996;Burrows et al. 2003).”
Movement patterns of feral predators in an arid environment – implications for control through poison baiting (2009, background): “…both mesic and arid areas are generally active only at night time (Lloyd 1980; Saunders et al. 1995; Adkins and Stott 1998; Meek and Saunders 2000; Burrows et al. 2003), although some researchers have found that foraging does occur during daylight hours during the breeding season or after long…”

Effects of predator control on behaviour of an apex predator and indirect consequences for mesopredator suppression (2012, background): “1987), but they can exhibit crepuscular and nocturnal patterns (Jones & Coman 1982; Burrows et al. 2003) or irregular cathemeral activity (Molsher et al.”
Does a top predator suppress the abundance of an invasive mesopredator at a continental scale (2011, background): “To protect threatened native mammals, foxes are typically controlled by distributing meat baits impregnated with poison from aircraft or along vehicular tracks (Fleming et al., 2001; Burrows et al., 2003).”

Interactions between a Top Order Predator and Exotic Mesopredators in the Australian Rangelands (2012, background): “The home range of cats and foxes vary considerably in the arid zone with averages of between 20 and 30 km2 commonly recorded [15, 20, 56].”
