Naïve, bold, or just hungry? An invasive exotic prey species recognises but does not respond to its predators

2018-12-01

Abstract excerpt

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 has been relatively understudied, despite the hypothesised potential for native predators to provide biotic resistance to invasion. There are two main hypotheses about whet...
