Trophic cascade driven by behavioural fine-tuning as naive prey rapidly adjust to a novel predator

This study shows that prey species rapidly adjust their behavior to a novel predator, leading to population declines and changes in seed predation rates.

Evolution transforms pushed waves into pulled waves

The paper shows that evolution during invasions can transform pushed waves into pulled waves, increasing invasion speed and affecting predictability.

Estimating the benefit of quarantine: eradicating invasive cane toads from islands

The paper estimates the economic value of cane toad quarantine on Australian islands and a mainland containment strategy by modeling eradication costs and benefits.

Anywhere but here: local conditions alone drive dispersal in Daphnia

This study shows Daphnia carinata dispersal is driven by intra-patch conditions, not extra-patch conditions, highlighting partial information use in dispersal decisions.
