Distributions of Indo-Pacific lionfishes Pterois spp. in their native ranges : implications for the Atlantic invasion (2012, background): “Changes in behavior are documented for many species that have escaped their natural predators (Mittelbach 1986, Holway & Suarez 1999, Sih et al. 2009).”
Understanding variation in behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change: a conceptual overview (2013, background): “2007; Chaine & Clobert 2012), exotic species (Blackburn et al. 2004; McKenzie et al. 2007; Sih et al. 2010), pollution (Verhoeven et al.”
Origin matters: alien consumers inflict greater damage on prey populations than do native consumers (2013, background): “The importance of prey na€ıvet e in determining the outcome of predator–prey interactions is well documented (e.g. Cox & Lima, 2006; PoloCavia et al., 2010; Sih et al., 2010), although most studies do not compare prey responses with alien and native predators alike (Kovalenko et al.”
Predation in bird populations (2011, background): “…that any population declines from introduced predators are likely to involve prey showing inappropriate non-lethal effects, which reduce fitness (Sih et al. 2010): these would generally act in the same direction as lethal effects and might well be as overlooked as have non-lethal effects in…”
Effects of invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans versus a native predator on Bahamian coral-reef fish communities (2012, background): “Novel traits of introduced predators and naı̈veté of native prey to such traits are generally thought to contribute to predator invasion success and may result in strong relative effects of invasive predators on native prey (Sih et al. 2010).”
Predator exposure improves anti‐predator responses in a threatened mammal (2018, background): “This is the result of a combination of lack of evolutionary exposure to introduced predators (Carthey & Banks, 2014; Sih et al., 2010) and/or long- term ontogenetic isolation from predators, common in species bred in captivity or maintained within fenced reserves or on predator- free islands.”
Invasive Species and Amphibian Conservation (2020, background): “Behavioral responses to IAS are often rapid because they are modulated by plasticity and inﬂuenced by experience (Sih et al. 2010; Weis and Sol 2016).”
Site fidelity and movement patterns of invasive lionfish, Pterois spp., in a Florida estuary (2012, background): “Extreme prey naïveté and enemy release, which often occur following the introduction of a novel predator (Sih et al., 2010), could influence lionfish movement patterns.”
Sharing a predator: can an invasive alien pest affect the predation on a local pest? (2013, background): “The occurrence of such natural enemies can contribute to the biotic resistance of ecosystems, i.e., a local ecosystem could be resilient to invasion by evolutionary naive species (Shea and Chesson 2002; Juliano et al. 2010; Sih et al. 2010).”
Altered activity patterns and reduced abundance of native mammals in sites with feral dogs in the high Andes (2016, background): “…patterns, prey naiveté, or existence of effective mechanisms of defense against feral dogs, as suggested by the lack of difference in relative abundance of the Andean white-eared opossum and white-tailed deer between areas with and without dogs (Ashby 1972; Kavanau and Ramos 1975; Sih et al. 2010).”
Climate change and the increasing impact of polar bears on bird populations (2015, background): “When a new predator enters the scene, the delicate balance between predators and their prey may be perturbed (Bell et al., 2010; Sih et al., 2010).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, methodology): “Again, we use prey responses to exotic predators as a format for explaining some general ideas (Sih 1992; Sih et al. 2010).”
Predicting novel herbivore–plant interactions (2013, background): “Understanding the impacts of exotic species on ecosystems is one of the most important issues in modern ecology and evolution (Mack et al. 2000, Sih et al. 2010).”
Invader Relative Impact Potential: a new metric to understand and predict the ecological impacts of existing, emerging and future invasive alien species (2017, background): “The ‘na€ıve prey’ hypothesis posits that prey without prior experience of an invasive predator may incur greater mortality than that with a native predator, as the anti-predator response is inappropriate or absent (Diamond & Case 1986; Banks & Dickman 2007; Sih et al. 2010).”
Behavioral consequences of plant invasion: an invasive plant alters rodent antipredator behavior (2010, background): “…consequences for preysurvival, prey population dynamics, and the stability of predator–prey interactions (Werner and Peacor 2003; Caro 2005; Preisser et al. 2005; Stankowich and Blumstein 2005), and it may also play an important role in biological invasions (Strauss et al. 2006; Sih et al., 2010).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “One such pattern is that a community’s lack of eco-evolutionary experience, or ecological naïveté, determines its vulnerability to non-native consumers, parasites, pathogens, and competitors (Sih et al. 2010; Saul and Jeschke 2015; Davis et al. 2019; Nunes et al. 2019; Anton et al. 2020).”
