biogeographic isolation |
system type |
H1: Prey naiveté differs among system types (e.g. terrestrial, freshwater, or marine) |
freshwater systems will experience higher levels of prey naiveté than terrestrial or marine systems, owing to higher biogeographic isolation |
[13,22] |
partially |
insularity |
H2: Prey naiveté differs between islands and continental mainlands |
prey species on islands are more naive to novel terrestrial predators than on continents |
[23–25] |
yes |
archetype hypothesis |
H3: Prey recognize introduced predators that are the same archetype as familiar local predators |
predators introduced in locations that contain native congeners will encounter less naive prey |
[10,16,26,27,59] |
yes |
geographical scale |
H4: The geographical scale of the predator introduction mediates prey naiveté |
predators introduced in a foreign biogeographic realm will encounter prey species with higher levels of naiveté |
[10] |
yes |
adaptation |
number of prey generations |
H5: Prey naiveté varies with time of exposure to a novel predator |
prey naiveté will decrease with the number of prey generations since the introduction of a predator |
[28–30] |
yes |
latitude/biodiversity |
latitude of the introduction |
H6: Prey naiveté varies across latitudes |
prey naiveté is less pronounced at low latitudes, which are more biodiverse and contain a broader range of predator types |
[31–33] |
no |
taxonomic attribute |
taxonomic group of the predator |
H7: Prey naiveté differs among predator taxa |
certain taxa of predators will be recognized by prey more than others |
[38] |
yes |
taxonomic group of the prey |
H8: Prey naiveté differs among prey taxa |
some taxa of prey will recognize novel predators better than others |
[34] |
yes |
