Intraspecific resource partitioning by an opportunistic strategist, inland silverside Menidia beryllina

Effects of Artificial Lighting and Presence of Menidia Beryllina on Growth and Diet of Labidesthes Sicculus

Two atherinid species, Labidesthes sicculus (brook silverside) and Menidia beryllina (inland silverside), often co-occur in North American reservoirs. Menidia beryllina is a superior competitor for zooplankton and has displaced Labidesthes in a number of reservoir habitats. In Lake Texoma (Oklahoma-Texas), Labidesthes was thought extirpated from the reservoir after introduction of Menidia in th...

An evaluation of the mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, and the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, as mosquito control agents in California wild rice fields.

The mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, and the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, were evaluated in experimental, one-tenth hectare wild rice plots in Lake County, California, for their impact on densities of Culex tarsalis, Anopheles freeborni and Anopheles franciscanus. Gambusia affinis were tested at 0.6 and 1.7 kg/ha and the silversides at ca. 0.9 kg/ha. The silversides did not survive well...

Effects of Beauveria bassiana on embryos of the inland silverside fish (Menidia beryllina).

A chemical toxicity and teratogenicity test was adapted to assess potential adverse effects of a microbial pest control agent on a nontarget fish. Developing embryos of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, were exposed to conidiospores of the insect-pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. Embryo rupture and death were observed. Embryo rupture did not always result in death, nor was death alw...
