Abstract Heterospecific sociability could enhance invasion success in social species since non‐natives usually belong to small founding populations during the early stages of invasion. The twospot livebearer ( Pseudoxiphophorus bimaculatus ) is native Central America and southern Mexico recently recognised as invasive Mexican Plateau, where it poses a threat species. Here, we evaluated towards either conspecific pair or shoal four fish with one possible compositions, all conspecifics two combined guppies, porthole livebearers twoline skiffias. In second experiment, foraging time, latency feed, first begin aggressive interactions were recorded under same conditions used body size included covariate both experiments. All focal spent significantly more time given shoals rather than available space aquarium. They showed higher tendency associate pairs. Larger associated more, regardless condition. Twospot fed livebearers, less guppies similarly Latency forage did not vary between conditions. involved when skiffias conspecifics. gain benefits from associating natives conspecifics, but other poeciliids. shoaling behaviour may are scarce while poeciliids lead increased competition. Further research needed on heterospecific better understand their behavioural role likelihood.

Abstract Invasion science addresses interconnected ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by the introduction of nonnative species. Therefore, invasion scientists have to consider reconcile interdisciplinary needs while addressing potential implications their findings. Navigating diverse disciplines, including environmental sciences, ecology, economics, humanities, seek arrive at informed decisions on risk, impact, management. Individual biases, uncertainties, systemic pressures influence ability maintain objectivity resist that might otherwise distort findings or applications. In present commentary, we examine conceptual ethical dilemmas within field science, particularly reputational risks discipline perpetuating its own relevance framing invasions as insurmountable challenges. discussion, highlight how incentive structures, biased assessments framing, conflicts interest may compromise discipline's integrity.

Non-native species can negatively impact native ecosystems, but their introduction does not always lead to major ecological changes. This study examines interactions between the non-native monkey goby ( Neogobius fluviatilis ) and spined loach Cobitis taenia through field observations controlled laboratory experiments. We assessed microhabitat use, dietary similarities, behavioral two species. Field results revealed overlapping microhabitats dominated by coarse sand, with no significant displacement of goby. Laboratory trials further supported these findings, showing competitive interference in habitat selection, both co-occupying preferred substrates (coarse sand). Diet analysis indicated limited trophic overlap (17%), suggesting resource partitioning rather than direct competition. The show evidence that exerts harmful effects on river studied.

Freshwater ecosystems are facing mounting challenges. The widespread introduction of non-native species, for example, has resulted in the loss native species and substantial reconfiguration diversity patterns across regions. Documenting such impacts remains critical informing national-level biosecurity policies. Here, we explore changes biogeographic freshwater fish response to spread teasing apart geographic (watersheds) taxonomic (species) drivers at global scale.
