DNA metabarcoding reveals the diet of the invasive fish Oreochromis mossambicus...
Nogueira, S.; Curto, M.; Gkenas, C.; Afonso, F.; Dias, D.; Heumüller, J.; Félix, P. M.; Silva De Lima, Rivete; Chaínho, P.; Brito, A. C.; Ribeiro, F.Invasive species can trigger profound effects on recipient ecosystems, namely through the food web. Despite being recognized as one of the worst invasive species, little is known about the feeding ecology of the Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. To understand how this invasive species might impact food webs, we applied metabarcoding to analyze its diet’s composition in two African mangroves, in the Ob...
Widespread hybridization between Invasive bleak (Alburnus alburnus) and Iberian...
Curto, M.; Morgado-Santos, M.; Alexandre, C.M.; Alves, M.J.; Gante, H.F.; Gkenas, C.; Medeiros, J.P.; Pinheiro, P.J.; Almeida, P.R.; Magalhães, M.F.Hybridization between native and nonnative fish species is a major conservation issue, especially in ecosystems with high levels of endemism, such as Iberian streams. To date, hybridization with the invasive bleak Alburnus alburnus has been reported for the Iberian chub Squalius alburnoides and S. pyrenaicus and in scattered locations only. However, the bleak is spreading in the region, potentially increasing t...
