摘要

罗斯柴尔德岩袋鼠（Petrogale rothschildi）是西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉和阿什伯顿地区的特有种。这种大型岩袋鼠目前还没有被认为受到威胁，但鲜为人知。野猫是许多澳大利亚大陆哺乳动物的严重威胁，包括一些种类的岩袋鼠，但它们对P.rothschildi的影响在很大程度上是未知的。在这里，我们首次报道了野猫捕食罗斯柴尔德岩袋鼠的情况，这一点已通过基因分析得到证实。当时常见的岩鼠数量丰富，是猫的主要猎物，这表明这是这种高度机会主义捕食者偶然发生的捕食事件。

Feral cat (Felis catus) predation confirmed for Rothschild

Rothschild’s rock-wallaby (Petrogale rothschildi) is endemic to the Pilbara and Ashburton regions of Western Australia. This large species of rock-wallaby is currently not recognised as threatened but is poorly known. Feral cats are a serious threat to many mainland Australian mammals, including some species of rock-wallaby, however their impact on P. rothschildi is largely unknown. Here we provide the first account of feral cat predation on Rothschild’s rock-wallaby, which was confirmed via genetic analysis. Common rock rats were abundant at the time and are the primary prey for cats, suggesting this was an incidental predation event by this highly opportunistic predator.

期刊介绍： Australian Mammalogy is a major journal for the publication of research in all branches of mammalogy. The journal’s emphasis is on studies relating to Australasian mammals, both native and introduced, and includes marine mammals in the Antarctic region. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: anatomy, behaviour, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, molecular biology, parasites and diseases of mammals, physiology, reproductive biology, systematics and taxonomy. Australian Mammalogy is for professional mammalogists, research scientists, resource managers, consulting ecologists, students and amateurs interested in any aspects of the biology and management of mammals. Australian Mammalogy began publication in 1972 and is published on behalf of the Australian Mammal Society.
