Thermal challenge (Inchaurregui et al. 2025)

We evaluated whether increasing water temperature affects the behavioral responses of swimming activity, aggressiveness, capture attempts, prey consumed, and foraging efficiency of the Mexican mojarra and the invasive convict cichlid fish, and whether it differentially affects these cichlid species. This is the first study to evaluate and compare the effects of increased habitat temperature on the behavior of a native cichlid and an invasive cichlid.
