Escape from the Ponto-Caspian: evolution and biogeography of an endemic goby species flock (Benthophilinae: Gobiidae: Teleostei).
Endemic Ponto-Caspian gobies include a flock of 24 "neogobiin" species (containing the nominal genera and subgenera Apollonia, Babka, Neogobius, Mesogobius, Ponticola, and Proterorhinus; Teleostei: Gobiidae), of which a large proportion (5 species; 21%) recently escaped to invade other freshwater Eurasian systems and the North American Great Lakes. We provide its first comprehensive phylogeneti...
متن کاملMicrosatellite loci for Ponto-Caspian gobies: markers for assessing exotic invasions.
We developed and tested eight polymorphic microsatellite loci for Ponto-Caspian 'neogobiin' gobies, many of which are invasive in Eurasia and North America, whose study will aid understanding of the population genetics underlying their success. We tested samples from one to two locations from 12 taxa in the recently revised genera Babka, Benthophilus, Mesogobius, Neogobius = Apollonia, Ponticol...
متن کاملInvasive Ponto-Caspian gobies rapidly reduce the abundance of protected native bullhead
Invasions by alien species may cause a decline in populations of vulnerable protected species through interference and resource competition. During the last decade, four invasive goby species of Ponto-Caspian origin have displayed rapid dispersal in The Netherlands. High densities of these species have been recorded in large rivers and hydrologically connected water bodies such as canals and fl...
متن کاملThe dietary pattern of Caspian bighead goby, Ponticola gorlap (Ilgin, 1949) in Anzali wetland
This study was conducted to investigate the dietary habits of Caspian bighead goby (Ponticola gorlap) in Anzali wetland. For this purpose, 70 goby were collected from four stations in different parts of Anzali Wetland by cone nets (fyke net) during December 2014 to April 2015. The contents of the gastrointestinal tract were examined using the occurrence method of Numerical methods. Condition fa...
متن کاملZebra mussel beds: an effective feeding ground for Ponto-Caspian gobies or suitable shelter for their prey?
Aggregations of the Ponto-Caspian invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) constitute a suitable habitat for macroinvertebrates, considerably increasing their abundance and providing effective antipredator protection. Thus, the overall effect of a mussel bed on particular predator species may vary from positive to negative, depending on both prey density increase and predator ability to pre...
