Domestic cat (Felis catus) preys reported by volunteers within the project Feral Cats

Observations of captures and/or predation events performed by domestic cats (Felis catus) reported through the questionnaire set up for this purpose in the framework of the project Feral Cats - WP4 SUMHAL or through the online platform Observation.org. Most of the events are prey brought home by cats and reported by their owners with associated images that have been used to identify the prey to the most specific taxonomic level possible. These images can be found at Digital CSIC or linked to the observation uploaded to Observation.org. The goal of this dataset is to explore the diversity of species that free-roaming domestic cats hunt and to assess which species or animal groups predominate in their catches.

本项目框架下，通过专为该项目设立的问卷调查以及在线平台Observation.org收集到的数据，对家猫（Felis catus）的捕捉与/或捕食行为的观测记录进行了整理。其中，大多数事件涉及猫捕获猎物并将其带回家中，由其主人报告，并附有用于将猎物识别至尽可能具体的分类级别的相关图像。这些图像可在Digital CSIC找到，或链接至上传至Observation.org的观测记录。本数据集旨在探讨自由散养的猫狩猎物种的多样性，并评估在它们的捕获物中哪些物种或动物群体占主导地位。
