Reduced genetic diversity and the success of the invasive peacock bass (Cichliformes: Cichlidae)
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Several species of Cichla successfully colonized lakes and reservoirs of Brazil, since the 1960’s, causing serious damage to local wildlife. In this study, 135 peacock bass were collected in a reservoir complex in order to identify if they represented a ...
