Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduced predators in Australia are one of the major causes of native fauna species decline, with attempts to address this decline including predator control, wildlife reintroductions and predator‐proof conservation fencing. The efficacy of conservation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aec.12697
Abstract: The high failure rate of threatened species translocations has prompted many managers to fence areas to protect wildlife from introduced predators. However, conservation fencing is expensive, restrictive and exacerbates prey na€ıvet e reducing the chance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.14012
Abstract: The prey naivety hypothesis posits that prey are vulnerable to introduced predators because many generations in slow gradual coevolution are needed for appropriate avoidance responses to develop. It predicts that prey will be more responsive… read more here.

Abstract: Introduced predators are thought to be responsible for the decline and extinction of their native prey. The prey naivety hypothesis provides a mechanism for these declines, suggesting that native prey are vulnerable to introduced predators… read more here.
