Faster Weight Growth in Invasive Mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki and Gambusia affinis (Poeciliidae) Under Climate Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki and Gambusia affinis (Poeciliidae) threaten native aquatic diversity globally. Climate change likely increases the body weight and alters the body condition of mosquitofish, resulting in higher invasive ability. The growth
