Swimming performance is a key feature that mediates fitness and survival in aquatic
animals. Dispersal, habitat selection, predator–prey interactions and reproduction are …

A popular species for food and sport, the European catfish (Silurus glanis) is well‐studied in
its native range, but little studied in its introduced range. Silurus glanis is the largest‐bodied …

Abstract The Iberian Peninsula contains a highly endemic freshwater ichthyofauna that is
being homogenized and threatened by an increasing number of non-native fishes. Here, in …

Most studies analyzing patterns in biotic homogenization of fish communities have used
large-scale approaches, while the community-level effects of species introductions and local …

Growing human population and industrialization have led to the pollution of most aquatic
ecosystems and consequent deterioration in environmental water quality. Indicator …

Literature data are reviewed on the origin, distribution, economic benefits and impacts of
common carp Cyprinus carpio L. in the Mediterranean region. Despite the ubiquity of …

The ecological impact of many invasive species is usually unknown because of the absence
of data before their introduction. We exemplify the usefulness of comparing early and late …

Introduced species often thrive in modified systems, although it is not clear whether they
have negative effects on native biota that might also be present or, alternatively, occupy …

Knowledge of the movements and diel behaviour of the European catfish (Silurus glanis),
the largest European freshwater fish, is limited to anecdotal information. In a preliminary …

Knowledge of the size‐selectivity of fishing gear types is crucial to fisheries management
and ecology. The gillnet selectivity of most freshwater fish is poorly known. We caught 694 …
