• THE RESPONSES OF MAMMALS TO LA NIÑA (EL NIÑO SOUTHERN OSCILLATION)–ASSOCIATED RAINFALL, PREDATION, AND WILDFIRE IN CENTRAL AUSTRALIA (2005, background): “Being able to control predator numbers during these periods when rodents form the primary prey items of predators (Paltridge 2002) has the potential to alleviate the impacts of predation on secondary prey species that are most vulnerable to predation (Sinclair et al. 1998).”
• Does a top predator suppress the abundance of an invasive mesopredator at a continental scale (2011, background): “Dietary studies also show that sympatric dingoes and foxes typically have similar diets, and suggest that there is considerable scope for competition for food between the two species (Paltridge, 2002; Mitchell & Banks, 2005).”
• How many reptiles are killed by cats in Australia? (2018, background): “…of reptiles in the diet of feral cats in Australia generally increases in warmer seasons, consistent with seasonal variation in reptile activity (Paltridge 2002; Yip et al. 2015), it was not possible for us to account for seasonal variation in cat diet in this analysis becausemany of the Table…”
• Influence of bait type, weather and prey abundance on bait uptake by feral cats (Felis catus) on Peron Peninsula, Western Australia (2007, background): “However in the absence or extreme low abundance of such a significant primary prey source, cats exhibit a considerable dietary breadth as they are able to capitalize on a variety of prey sources (Martin et al. 1996; Catling 1998; Molsher et al. 1999; Risbey et al. 1999; Read and Bowen 2001; Paltridg”
• Evaluating the role of the dingo as a trophic regulator in Australian ecosystems (2007, background): “Consumption of cats by dingoes has also been reported by Newsome et al. (1983), Lundie-Jenkins et al. (1993), Thomson (1992a), Corbett (1995) and Paltridge (2002) .”
• Dietary overlap and prey selectivity among sympatric carnivores: could dingoes suppress foxes through competition for prey? (2011, methodology): “Furthermore, when rabbits are absent or rare, both predators increase their consumption of reptiles and invertebrates (Paltridge 2002), and in the case of dingoes, large prey such as livestock and kangaroos (Corbett 1995).”
• Does a top‐predator provide an endangered rodent with refuge from an invasive mesopredator? (2009, background): “A likely cause for these relationships is that dingoes prey upon foxes and cats, and foxes prey upon cats (Marsack & Campbell, 1990; Paltridge, 2002).”
• Interactions between a Top Order Predator and Exotic Mesopredators in the Australian Rangelands (2012, background): “Marsack and Campbell [39] observed dingoes eating foxes in arid Western Australia, and both fox and cat remains have been found in dingo scats and stomach contents [39, 42–45].”
• How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “…important studies of the ecology (including diet) of feral cats (Coman and Brunner, 1972; Doherty et al., 2015; Jones and Coman, 1981; Kutt, 2011; Paltridge, 2002; Pavey et al., 2008; Read and Bowen, 2001; Yip et al., 2014), there has been no assessment of the extent of losses of birds due to…”
