Parkes, J., Fisher, P., Robinson, S., Aguirre-Muñoz, A. (2014) Eradication of feral cats from large islands: an assessment of the effort required for success. N. Z. J. Ecol., 38 (2), 307-314. http://www.jstor.org/stable/24060808
Review of cat eradication programmes on 6 islands leading to an estimate of 5.2 ± 1.6 years of effort to extirpate cats from 1000 ha of habitat, assuming a closed population and dedicated staffing (543 ± 341 annual person-days). States the resources needed to maintain such an intensive program often exceed the capacity of many land managers.
