The diet of feral cats (Felis catus L.) at five sites on the Grande Terre, Kerguelen archipelago
International audience Assessing the impact (direct or indirect) of introduced predator species on native seabird populations is a clear management priority, particularly so in the simple sub-Antarctic ecosystems where these effects may be dramatic. We evaluated the diet of introduced feral cats (Fe...
