Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Teleostei: Cichlidae): a threat to native fishes of Lake Malawi?

Jay R. Stauffer et al.

Summary: The Nile Tilapia poses a significant threat to the native fishes of Lake Malawi due to its attributes such as fast growth rate and competitive nature, potentially leading to extinction of native species and damaging the livelihoods of existing artisanal fishermen.

Invasive Nile tilapia dominates a threatened indigenous tilapia in competition over shelter

T. Champneys et al.

Summary: The study found that the non-native Nile tilapia exhibited greater aggression and dominance over the native Manyara tilapia in competitive interactions, potentially leading to changes in resource use and long-term habitat displacement.

Global economic costs of aquatic invasive alien species

Ross N. Cuthbert et al.

Summary: Research indicates that the global economic cost of aquatic invasive alien species has reached $345 billion, with the majority attributed to invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants. The highest costs were reported in North America and Asia, primarily due to resource damages. The costs of aquatic invasive species have increased exponentially in recent decades, but are likely underreported.

The threat of invasive species to IUCN-listed critically endangered species: A systematic review

Manuel-Angel Duenas et al.

Summary: Globally, invasive species pose a threat to critically endangered terrestrial vertebrate species, with birds being the most affected and amphibians primarily threatened by the chytrid fungal pathogen. The control and management of invasive species are crucial for global biodiversity conservation.

Patterns of morphological traits shaping the feeding guilds in the intertidal mudflat fishes of the Indian Sundarbans

Anupam Podder et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the ecomorphological relationship among 37 fish species in the Indian Sundarbans, focusing on identifying feeding guilds, understanding morphological relationships with diet, and assessing potential phylogenetic convergence. It highlights the importance of morphological differentiation in driving dietary variations and resource utilization patterns among coexisting species, while also suggesting the 8-Guild model as more representative of species feeding habits compared to the broader 3-Guild model.
