Can Invasiveness in Freshwater Fishes Be Predicted From Life-History Traits?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 We review a model we developed in 2007 to predict the invasion potential of an introduced population, based on the relationship between juvenile growth (mean total length at age 2) and mean age-at-maturity, and test the model with data from 75 non-native
