Interactions Between Non‐Native Western Mosquitofish and Native Bluegill Sunfish: Mesocosm Experiments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70508
Abstract: ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems are often negatively affected by invasive species. However, biotic resistance by native species, either by competition or predation, can reduce the impacts of invasions by non‐native species. The Western Mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.5c02842
Abstract: The western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis (G. affinis)) is often the only fish that survives in various selenium-contaminated aquatic environments. However, mechanisms of its survival in such environments remain seldom explored. In this study, the acute… read more here.

Invasive fish (Gambusia affinis) as an ecological filter for macroinvertebrate colonization of experimental ponds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Freshwater Science"
DOI: 10.1086/713006
Abstract: Invasive predators might serve as ecological filters for prey communities, either through non-consumptive or consumptive effects. The Western Mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis [Baird and Girard, 1853]) is an invasive non-native fish that affects native aquatic communities,… read more here.
