Abstract

Uninvited dinner guests: the effect of invasive fish and temperature on the foraging efficiency of southern Iberian chub

Highlights

  • Biological invasions have multiple ecological effects on native biota, mainly through trophic interactions

  • The outcome of trophic interactions is mediated by abiotic factors, such as temperature, and may be significantly affected under future climates (Ficke et al, 2007)

  • The Iberian Peninsula holds a rich and highly endemic freshwater fish fauna, which is highly threatened by invasive species, habitat degradation, and climate change (Clavero, 2011)

Summary

Introduction

Biological invasions have multiple ecological effects on native biota, mainly through trophic interactions. The outcome of trophic interactions is mediated by abiotic factors, such as temperature, and may be significantly affected under future climates (Ficke et al, 2007). The Iberian Peninsula holds a rich and highly endemic freshwater fish fauna, which is highly threatened by invasive species, habitat degradation, and climate change (Clavero, 2011).
