Fire as a driver and mediator of predator–prey interactions
Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of
animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire …

Enumerating a continental-scale threat: how many feral cats are in Australia?
Feral cats (Felis catus) have devastated wildlife globally. In Australia, feral cats are
implicated in most recent mammal extinctions and continue to threaten native species. Cat …

Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances
Invasive species have reshaped the composition of biomes across the globe, and
considerable cost is now associated with minimising their ecological, social and economic …

[HTML][HTML] Feral cats are better killers in open habitats, revealed by animal-borne video
One of the key gaps in understanding the impacts of predation by small mammalian
predators on prey is how habitat structure affects the hunting success of small predators …
