Ingestion Rate, Prey Selectivity, and Growth of Larval Vieja zonata (Teleostei: Cichlidae) Co‐Fed Rotifers with Cladocerans [PDF]
The study of fish larval nutrition is important as dietary requirements change significantly with growth. Vieja zonata is a cichlid species that is endemic to Mexico. In this study, we investigated the ingestion rate, prey selectivity, and growth of V. zonata larvae that were fed on prey cultured with and without probiotics.

Competition from sea to mountain: Interactions and aggregation in low‐diversity monogenean and endohelminth communities in twospot livebearer Pseudoxiphophorus bimaculatus (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) populations in a neotropical river [PDF]
The results of this work suggest that interspecific competition can occur in species‐poor, nonsaturated communities among specialist dominant species. Our analyses suggest also that aggregation is an important factor to determine local richness of parasites in fish populations and that intraspecific aggregation allows the coexistence of species in the ...

Abstract Riverine floodplains serve as an important link between terrestrial and aquatic systems, as the rising and falling of water drive spatial food web subsidies that are critical to the functioning and stability of ecosystems. As these systems are increasingly impacted by hydrological alterations and climate change, it is important to understand ...

The role of refuges in biological invasions: A systematic review
Abstract Aim Ecological refuges buffer organisms against stressors and mediate a range of species interactions. However, their role in the context of biological invasions has yet to be synthesized, despite the increasing prevalence and impact of non‐native species.

Abstract Aquatic invasive species (AIS) present major ecological and economic challenges globally, endangering ecosystems and human livelihoods. Managers and policy makers thus need tools to predict invasion risk and prioritize species and areas of concern, and they often use native range climate matching to determine whether a species could persist in

Abstract The analysis of food web structures has increased the understanding of the dynamics of organisms belonging to different trophic levels. In this study, the diet of two native species, Glossogobius callidus and Gilchristella aestuaria, was assessed in the presence of two non‐native species, Oreochromis mossambicus and Gambusia affinis, in ...

A global review of problematic and pathogenic parasites of farmed tilapia
Abstract Over the past 80 years, tilapia have been translocated globally for aquaculture; active production is recorded in >124 countries. Of 7 million tonnes of tilapia produced in aquaculture, 79% is from 79 countries outside the natural range of tilapia.

Abstract Aim Non‐native fishes threaten native biodiversity worldwide. Life history traits have been used to predict the risk of establishment for non‐native fish in several regions of the world and parts of the United States, but not yet for Florida despite the elevated risk of establishment in the state due to many invasion pathways and favourable ...

Abstract Combining information from active and passive sampling of mobile animals is challenging because active‐sampling data are affected by limited detection of rare or sparse taxa, while passive‐sampling data reflect both density and movement. We propose that a model‐based analysis allows information to be combined between these methods to interpret

Abstract Extreme climate events can interact synergistically with invasions to dramatically alter ecosystem structure, function, and services. Yet, the effects of extreme climate events on species invasions remain unresolved. Extreme climate events may increase resources and decrease biotic resistance by causing physiological stress and/or mortality of
