Lead pollution impacts the dynamics and resolution of contests between the native Mexican mojarra and invasive convict cichlid

Both pollution and invasive species are threats for freshwater environments and their native ichthyofauna. The Mexican mojarra is the only cichlid fish species native to the Amacuzac River of central Mexico. I...

Lead has different impacts on behavior of the native Mexican mojarra and invasive convict cichlid

Our objective was to determine the effect of lead (Pb) on the behavior of the Mexican mojarra, which is native to the Balsas River basin, and the convict cichlid, which is an exotic invasive there. Both fish s...
