We point out several shortcomings in the analysis by Koch et al. (BMC Evol Biol 15:262, 2015; "A voyage to Terra Australis: human-mediated dispersal of cats". Dryad Digital Repository, 2015), present a reanalysis of part of the study and discuss the challenges of elucidating the early history of feral cats. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | BMC Evolutionary Biology, v.16, p. 1-6 | Publisher: | BioMed Central Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1471-2148 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060302 Biogeography and Phylogeography 060411 Population, Ecological and Evolutionary Genetics 050103 Invasive Species Ecology |
