Human disturbance has contrasting effects on niche partitioning within carnivore communities
Among species, coexistence is driven partly by the partitioning of available resources. The
mechanisms of coexistence and competition among species have been a central topic …

Cat–wildlife interactions and zoonotic disease risk: a call for more and better community science data
T Szentivanyi, M Oedin, R Rocha - Mammal Review, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Due to their close interaction with both wildlife and humans, free‐ranging domestic animals
are well‐suited to act as conveyors of zoonotic pathogens. Yet, although cats Felis catus are …

The small home ranges and large local ecological impacts of pet cats
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 …
