Since European occupation of Australia, human activities have caused the dramatic decline
and sometimes extinction of many of the continent's unique species. Here we provide a …

Research and management attention on the impacts of the introduced domestic cat (Felis
catus) on Australian fauna have focussed mainly on the feral population. Here, we …

One of the major characteristics of globalisation has been the spread of plant and animal
species. Although fauna and flora are always on the move, human mobility and its …

Free‐ranging domestic cats Felis catus, from owned pets to feral cats, impact biodiversity
through predation, fear effects, competition, disease and hybridization. Scientific knowledge …

Predation by cats (Felis catus) is implicated in the decline and extinction of many Australian
mammal species. We estimate the number of mammals killed by cats across Australia …

Domestic cats (Felis catus) are a conservation concern because they kill billions of native
prey each year, but without spatial context the ecological importance of pets as predators …

Aim Introduced predators negatively impact biodiversity globally, with insular fauna often
most severely affected. Here, we assess spatial variation in the number of terrestrial …

Context Feral cats (Felis catus) are a threat to biodiversity globally, but their impacts upon
continental reptile faunas have been poorly resolved. Aims To estimate the number of …

Mammals comprise the bulk of the diet of free‐ranging domestic cats Felis catus (defined as
including outdoor pet cats, strays, and feral cats) in most parts of their global range. In …

Throughout much of the world, growing populations of free-ranging domestic cats pose an
increasingly serious threat to biodiversity. However, no study has estimated the magnitude …
