“…Until recently, cats were believed to rarely scavenge [36, 37]. However, there is now a growing body of evidence that they actively scavenge, especially when they perceive little risk [41]. Our data show that in the simple scavenger community, feral cats scavenged at eight times the rate of cats living in a full scavenger community (Fig.…”

“…Further research is needed to confirm whether these species are truly increasing in abundance. Elevated numbers of forest ravens could have destructive effects for the local birds on the islands through heightened levels of depredation, and impact local farmers through increased attacks on livestock, as shown in other corvid studies [41, 50], as well as on King Island specifically [51]. While past research in Tasmania found no impact of forest raven abundance on the abundance of other bird species [52], these impacts may differ on the Bass Strait islands if the raven population size is greater.…”
