Can we predict the predation pressure of owned domestic cats on all birds in the United States?

The paper predicts predation pressure of owned domestic cats on U.S. birds using machine learning and citizen science data, finding that 35% of bird species face high predation pressure regardless of other threats.

Advancing ecological networks: moving beyond binary classification to probabilistic interactions.

This study uses binary classifiers to predict probabilistic predation interactions among mammalian predators, showing better performance than null models and highlighting the importance of species traits.
