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.

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.

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.

Predator discrimination of prey promotes the predator-mediated coexistence of prey species

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.

Top–down limits on prey populations may be more severe in larger prey species, despite having fewer predators

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.03791
Abstract: Variation in the vulnerability of herbivore prey to predation is linked to body size, yet whether this relationship is size‐nested or size‐partitioned remains debated. If size‐partitioned, predators would be focused on prey within their preferred… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0202876
Abstract: Co-occurrence between mesopredators can be achieved by differentiation of prey, temporal activity, and spatial habitat use. The study of mesopredator interactions is a growing area of research in tropical forests and shedding new light on… read more here.
