Effects of low-level culling of feral cats in open populations: a case study from the forests of southern Tasmania (2015, background): “The introduction and establishment of feral cats (Felis catus) on islands has caused the extinction of several animal taxa (Nogales et al. 2004, 2013) and, although their impact in open systems is less clear (Dickman 1996), feral cats are nevertheless recognised as an important threat to…”
A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “The scale of the problem is such that, despite notable successes (see e.g. Olivera et al., 2010; Rivera-Parra et al., 2012; Nogales et al., 2013; Stokstad, 2013; Robinson & Copson, 2014), increased efforts are evidently needed.”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “Feral cats are a particularly pervasive problem as predators of bird nests and adult birds (Nogales et al. 2013).”
Catastrophic cat predation: A call for predator profiling in wildlife protection programs (2015, background): “, 2013) and hence cats are the focus of many eradication and control programs (Bester et al., 2000; Cruz and Cruz, 1987; Nogales et al., 2013; Robinson and Copson, 2014).”
Direct Mortality of Birds from Anthropogenic Causes (2015, unknown): “Predation by domestic cats (Felis catus) has caused the decline and extinction of numerous bird populations on small islands (Nogales et al. 2013).”
How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “…of the extinction of many bird species on many islands (Blackburn et al., 2004; Bonnaud et al., 2011; Doherty et al., 2016; Duncan and Blackburn, 2007; Medina et al., 2011; Nogales et al., 2013), but the species-level impacts of cat predation on birds in continental areas remain poorly resolved.”
Hunting behaviour in domestic cats: An exploratory study of risk and responsibility among cat owners (2019, background): “The issue is complex; cats undoubtedly have significant detrimental effects on some vulnerable species, especially in island ecosystems (Medina et al., 2011; Nogales et al., 2013), and previous research indicates that, even when killing behaviour is not universal, large numbers of cats inevitably ki”
