| Male mosquitofish do not court and copulations result exclusively from males forcibly inseminating females. |
|
| Population-level effects of western mosquitofish on native killifishes and larval amphibians in Indiana waters. |
|
| Caldwell and Caldwell reported monarchistic dominance in the western mosquitofish when a male would freely roam and chase other males. |
|
| And the introduction of predators such as the mosquitofish to waterways has dented numbers further. |
|
| Water quality influences reproduction in female mosquitofish from eight Florida springs. |
|
| Western mosquitofish are stocked in Indiana waters for the biological control of mosquitoes. |
|
| Brian Langerhans of North Carolina State University and his colleagues studied the Bahamas mosquitofish around Andros Island. |
|
| Such species would include the mosquitofish, darters, topminnows, and shiners. |
|
| Presumably, mosquitofish are like other secondary-division freshwater fishes, in that their blood is isosmotic with seawater diluted to 7-10 ppt. |
|
| Toxicities of two herbicides and an algicide to mosquitofish Gambusia affinis. |
|
| In mosquitofish, once the testes mature, a male's testosterone production soars, a gonopodium develops, and then growth ceases. |
|
| In fact, intersexual selection has been documented in a variety of Poeciliid fish, including mosquitofish, Gambusia spp. |
|
| For example, western mosquitofish had a significant negative effect on the abundance and biomass of the threatened White Sands pupfish. |
|
| We speculate the fish was a mosquitofish, based on the type of marshland habitat. |
|
| In general, researchers found that early-metamorphic larvae ate brine shrimp, while late-metamorphic larvae ate shrimp, killifish, and mosquitofish. |
