Animal cognition and culture mediate predator–prey interactions
Predator–prey ecology and the study of animal cognition and culture have emerged as
independent disciplines. Research combining these disciplines suggests that both animal …

Functional traits—not nativeness—shape the effects of large mammalian herbivores on plant communities
Large mammalian herbivores (megafauna) have experienced extinctions and declines since
prehistory. Introduced megafauna have partly counteracted these losses yet are thought to …

Wolves recolonize novel ecosystems leading to novel interactions
The wolf (Canis lupus) is arguably the most successful species at recolonizing its now
human‐dominated former ranges in Europe and North America. Over the centuries while the …

Savviness of prey to introduced predators
The prey naivety hypothesis posits that prey are vulnerable to introduced predators because
many generations in slow gradual coevolution are needed for appropriate avoidance …

[PDF][PDF] Predator protection dampens the landscape of fear
Apex predators structure ecosystems by hunting mesopredators and herbivores. Their
ecological influence is determined not only by the number of animals they kill, but also by …

The late-Quaternary megafauna extinctions: Patterns, causes, ecological consequences and implications for ecosystem management in the Anthropocene
Across the last~ 50,000 years (the late Quaternary) terrestrial vertebrate faunas have
experienced severe losses of large species (megafauna), with most extinctions occurring in …

Prey responses to foxes are not determined by nativeness
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 …

Preventing extinction in an age of species migration and planetary change
International and national conservation policies almost exclusively focus on conserving
species in their historic native ranges, thus excluding species that have been introduced by …
