Artificial refuges for wildlife conservation: what is the state of the science?
Artificial refuges are human‐made structures that aim to create safe places for animals to
breed, hibernate, or take shelter in lieu of natural refuges. Artificial refuges are used across …

Free-ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) on public lands: estimating density, activity, and diet in the Florida Keys
Feral and free-ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) can have strong negative effects on small
mammals and birds, particularly in island ecosystems. We deployed camera traps to study …

Creating wildlife habitat using artificial structures: a review of their efficacy and potential use in solar farms
The biodiversity crisis is exacerbated by a growing human population modifying nearly three‐
quarters of the Earth's land surface area for anthropogenic uses. Habitat loss and …

Telesco** prey selection in invasive Burmese pythons spells trouble for endangered rodents
The allometric scaling of predators and their prey is well established within snakes (ie, gape-
width limits maximum prey sizes). However, while some species exhibit ontogenetic shifts to …

[HTML][HTML] Long-term monitoring reveals the value of continuous trap** to curtail the effects of free-roaming cats in protected island habitats
DJ Herrera, JD Dixon, MV Cove - Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 - Elsevier
Free-roaming domestic cats (Felis catus) pose numerous risks to biodiversity conservation,
especially in island ecosystems. However, the removal of cats is costly, labor-intensive, and …
