DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4781
Abstract: As gastrointestinal parasites affect the health of marine mammal species, they are a potentially consequential stressor. Although they are infrequently identified as a cause of mortality, gastrointestinal parasites could drive cryptic declines in individual fitness—including… read more here.

Naïve, bold, or just hungry? An invasive exotic prey species recognises but does not respond to its predators
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Invasions"
DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1782-4
Abstract: Alien species experience both costs and benefits in invaded environments, through naiveté of potential prey species, but also predation pressure from native predators. The question of whether alien prey recognise and respond to native predators… read more here.

Pushing the switch: functional responses and prey switching by invasive lionfish may mediate their ecological impact

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02487-7
Abstract: Biodiversity is declining on a global scale and the spread of invasive alien species (IAS) is a major driver, particularly through predatory impacts. Thus, effective means of assessing and predicting the consequences of IAS predation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104214
Abstract: Animals trade-off predation risk against feeding opportunities and prey species may use signals or cues of predators to assess predation risk. We analyzed the mesopredators pine and stone marten (Martes martes, M. foina) and nocturnal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2020.e01285
Abstract: Abstract Theoretical and empirical studies have addressed predator-prey relationships, but the relevance of individual prey species, prey species richness and environment on the niche and the distribution of specialist predators have been scarcely tested with… read more here.

Prey species restrict limb regenerative growth in a ladybird beetle, Cheilomenes sexmaculata: allocation costs of regeneration?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Biocontrol Science and Technology"
DOI: 10.1080/09583157.2024.2358248
Abstract: ABSTRACT In aphidophagous ladybird beetles, amputation of limbs in the larval stage leads to limb regeneration in adults. Regeneration is an energetically expensive phenomenon, and altering prey species may have profound consequences on this process.… read more here.

An invasive amphibian drives antipredator responses in two prey at different trophic positions

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/araa036
Abstract: Generalist invasive predators consume prey at different trophic levels and generate drastic changes in local communities. However, the long-term effects of predation may be reduced by eco-evolutionary responses of native populations. The capacity of prey… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zoaf027
Abstract: Leopards Panthera pardus are top predators that play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance and stability by exerting top-down control on prey species populations through direct predation. Despite their wide distribution, in recent years… read more here.

Resistance is futile: lack of predator switching and a preference for native prey predict the success of an invasive prey species

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.180339
Abstract: Invasive species continue to severely impact biodiversity, yet predicting the success or failure of introduced species has remained elusive. In particular, the relationship between community invasibility and native species diversity remains obscure. Here, we apply… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220859
Abstract: The predator discrimination of prey can affect predation intensity and the prey density dependence of predators, which has the potential to alter the coexistence of prey species. We used a predator–prey population dynamics model accounting… read more here.
