Urbanization and the Predation Paradox: The Role of Trophic Dynamics in Structuring Vertebrate Communities (2012, background): “Stracey (2011) noted that predatory taxa differ in their impacts on prey populations.”
Population impacts of free‐ranging domestic cats on mainland vertebrates (2017, background): “In Florida, video cameras showed that greater than 70% of nest predation events for northern mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) were attributed to cats (Stracey 2011).”
Quantifying free-roaming domestic cat predation using animal-borne video cameras (2013, background): “be a dominant nest predator of urban Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) in Florida (Stracey, 2011).”
Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “Cats are known to pose threat mainly to fledged birds (especially to juveniles), although their role as nest predators in urban areas is also documented (Rodewald & Kearns 2011, Stracey 2011).”
Escape behaviour of birds provides evidence of predation being involved in urbanization (2012, background): “2008; Stracey 2011), whereas predation by avian predators appears to be less common in urban than in rural areas (Stracey 2011).”
