The prey naiveté hypothesis suggests that native prey may be vulnerable to introduced
predators because they have not evolved appropriate defenses. However, recent evidence …

A wide range of taxa have been shown to display inducible, phenotypically plastic
responses to known predators. Most studies of inducible defenses include only known …

Predator induced responses by prey can reduce risk, however, newly introduced predators
may not elicit the same predator responses, thus making prey more vulnerable to these new …

Historical differences in crab abundance and temperature, along with the natural history of
specific species, have caused littorinid snail shells to vary in morphology across New …

A central question in evolutionary biology is how coevolutionary history between predator
and prey influences their interactions. Contemporary global change and range expansion of …

In recent years, Pomacea canaliculata has aggressively invaded rice fields in Asia, resulting
in significant agricultural losses. Biological control can effectively reduce the damage …

A laboratory experiment was conducted with the marine gastropod Littorina littorea from
three different sites in Long Island Sound to test for inducible responses to the non‐native …

Interactions among species have important influences on the structure and function of the
communities in which they reside. Much is known about interactions involving two species …

Sarracenia purpurea is a carnivorous pitcher plant from North America and a model system
for aquatic communities. After the pitchers fill up with rainwater, a food web forms in these …

The eastern mud snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta, is found at densities of 100's of individuals m-2
on soft sediments in the intertidal zones of estuaries. These obligate deposit feeders …
