Reducing the impacts of feral cats (Felis catus) is a priority for conservation managers across the globe, and success in achieving this aim requires a detailed understanding of the species’ ecology across a broad spectrum of climatic and environmental conditions. We reviewed the diet of the feral cat across Australia and on Australian territorial islands, seeking to identify biogeographical patterns in dietary composition and diversity, and use the results to consider how feral cats may best be managed.

Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “Through predation (Doherty et al., 2015), competition (Norbury, 2001), hybridisation (Daniels et al., 2001) and disease (Banks and Hughes, 2012), invasive mammalian predators are among the most damaging of all invasive species.”
Invasive predators and global biodiversity loss (2016, background): “Species such as cats (Felis catus), rats (Rattus rattus), mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus), and stoats (Mustela erminea) threaten biodiversity through predation (4, 5), competition (6), disease transmission (7), and facilitation with other invasive species (8).”
