Anticoagulant rodenticides in urban bobcats: a sixteen-year exposure study
PaperThis long-term study screened bobcats across the urbanizing landscape of southern California and found pervasive exposure to second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, with the great majority of te…

Effects of urbanization on carnivore distribution and richness
PaperThis camera-trap study examined how a community of carnivores, including bobcats and pumas, was distributed across an urbanisation gradient in southern California, relating species occurrence and rich…

Relative sensitivities of mammalian carnivores to habitat fragmentation
PaperThis study compared how a suite of carnivores, including bobcats, responded to the size and isolation of urban habitat fragments in coastal southern California. Bobcats and other area-sensitive specie…

Research overview: bobcat home ranges and habitat use in suburban landscapes
OverviewBobcats are among the most adaptable felids at the urban edge, persisting in suburbs and exurban developments across North America by exploiting greenbelts, washes, golf courses and remnant natural pa…
Research overview: commensal rodent abundance subsidising urban felids
OverviewCities support large populations of commensal rodents fed by human waste, and these rodents form a critical prey subsidy for small and medium urban felids from bobcats to leopard cats and jungle cats.…
Research overview: edge effects shaping felid habitat in fragmented cities
OverviewHabitat edges created by urban development alter microclimate, vegetation, prey, disturbance and predator interactions, shaping how felids use the boundary between natural and built land. This overvie…
Research overview: global spread of rodenticide exposure in wild felids
OverviewDocumented first in southern California felids and later in Cape Town caracals, anticoagulant-rodenticide exposure in wild cats has emerged as a global phenomenon wherever predators hunt poisoned rode…
Research overview: stable isotopes revealing anthropogenic food in felid diets
OverviewStable-isotope analysis of felid tissues offers a powerful way to quantify how much of a cat diet derives from anthropogenic versus natural sources, complementing scat analysis. This overview synthesi…
Research overview: viral disease dynamics in urban-edge wild felids
OverviewWild felids living near cities are exposed to pathogens including feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus and others, sometimes shared with domestic cats, raising conservation and One Hea…
