species (extinction or coexistence) depends on the number of simultaneous negative …

Salinity mediates the competitive interactions between invasive mosquitofish and an endangered fish

C Alcaraz, A Bisazza, E García-Berthou - Oecologia, 2008 - Springer
The interplay of abiotic factors and competition has a long history in ecology, although there
are very few studies on the interaction of salinity and competition in fish. Mosquitofish …
