Temperature shapes the similarity of life-history strategy between native and non-native freshwater fishes

Freshwater ecosystems are highly vulnerable to biological invasions, with increasing numbers of non-native fish species invoking severe ecological impacts. Life-history strategies reflect how fishes adapt to specific environments and play a critical role throughout the invasion process, leading to their application to understand large-scale patterns and drivers of freshwater fish invasions. Here, we compiled ecological traits for 14,679 freshwater fish species across 3,118 river basins worldwide to classify life-history strategies of native and non-native fishes and attempt to explain large-scale distributional patterns in diverse environments.
