The invasion of alien species into areas beyond their native ranges is having profound
effects on ecosystems around the world. In particular, novel alien predators are causing …

Predictions of the identities and ecological impacts of invasive alien species are critical for
risk assessment, but presently we lack universal and standardized metrics that reliably …

Biological invasions are a significant driver of human-induced global change and many
ecosystems sustain sympatric invaders. Interactions occurring among these invaders have …

Freshwater gastropods occupy relatively low trophic levels in food webs and are frequently
consumed as prey items by a wide variety of predators. Many studies have documented …

Invasive alien predators can impose strong selection on native prey populations and induce
rapid evolutionary change in the invaded communities. However, studies on evolutionary …

Abstract The North American crayfish Procambarus clarkii is considered among the most
invasive freshwater species. However, burrowing behaviour and the possible impact of P …

The threat of predation influences decisions made by prey animals and alters the way that
prey interact with other species in their environment. Animals often alter their foraging …

Alarm signals released after predator attack function as reliable public information revealing
areas of high risk. The utility of this information can extend beyond species boundaries …

Prey naiveté has been hypothesized to be one of the major driving forces behind population
declines following the introduction of novel predators or release of inexperienced prey into …

Non‐native predators might inflict proportionally higher mortality on prey that have no
previous experience of them, compared to species that have coexisted with the predator for …
