Abstract

Predator diet can provide important data to inform management actions as well as an enhanced understanding of the fauna of a region. The diet of dingo (Canis lupus dingo), feral cat (Felis catus) and eastern barn owl (Tyto delicatula) were compared using scat, stomach and pellets from a significant conservation reserve in southwest Queensland. Dingo diet was dominated by macropods, while the diet of feral cat and barn owl was dominated by small mammals. We found no remains of threatened species but recommend continued monitoring of predator diet as a tool to assist management.

昆士兰西南部普伦普伦保护区的野狗、野猫和东部仓鸮的饮食

捕食者的饮食可以为管理行动提供重要的数据，也可以增强对一个地区动物群的了解。研究了澳洲野狗(Canis lupus dingo)、野猫(Felis catus)和东部仓鸮(Tyto delicatula)的饮食，使用了来自昆士兰州西南部一个重要自然保护区的粪便、胃和颗粒。野狗以大型足类动物为主，野猫和仓鸮以小型哺乳动物为主。我们没有发现濒危物种的遗迹，但建议继续监测捕食者的饮食，作为协助管理的工具。
