The mechanisms determining the strength of interactions between non-indigenous and native species in the invaded environment are of great interest to both ecologists and managers. On a Brazilian rocky shore, we experimentally measured predation intensity and prey preference of native predators on 2 exotic bivalves, Perna perna (which has been present for centuries) and Isognomon bicolor (introduced ca. 20 yr ago). Overall, predation was more intense on P. perna than on I. bicolor. Furthermore, P. perna was preyed upon more intensively by benthic crawling predators (whelks and, possibly, crabs), while larger, more mobile predators (fish and birds) were less selective. In addition, the larger, more abundant whelk Stramonita haemastoma selectively preyed on P. perna (for which handling time was shorter), while another whelk (Trachypollia nodulosa) preferred I. bicolor, although handling time was longer. Different shell morphologies of the 2 exotic prey and resource partitioning between the whelks may explain S. haemastoma and T. nodulosa feeding preferences, respectively. The thicker valves of I. bicolor compared to those of P. perna reduced the drilling or chipping efficiency by whelks. Although these prey species belong to the same functional group, differences in their shell characteristics could entail different mechanical constraints to predators. Therefore, native predators in the study system may prefer P. perna over I. bicolor because they are still adapting their foraging skills to handle the more recent invader, I. bicolor.

Prey preference of these predators can be influenced by many factors such as prey size, energy content, handling time, availability and the past experience of the predator (Pyke et al. 1977, Hughes & Dunkin 1984, Fairweather 1988, Etter 1996.Multiple species have invaded many hard substrate habitats over time; therefore, native species have been exposed to different invaders for different periods of time (e.g. Wasson et al. 2005, Eastwood et al. 2007. A number of complex novel interactions could be established subsequent to invasion due to the arrangement of new native-exotic or exotic-exotic contact (Dudas et al. 2005, Grosholz 2005, Matern & Brown 2005, MacDonald et al. 2007, Pratt & Grason 2007.

On the other hand, non-indigenous species could find new enemies in invaded areas that could control their populations (Parker & Hay 2005, Parker et al. 2006.Invasive species can have important...

“…Novel traits may be especially useful in altered environments. Thus the shimofuri goby apparently owes its success in California to novel traits such as its ability to feed on invertebrates (mostly alien species) not used by other fishes (Matern and Brown 2005); its aggressiveness toward other benthic species (fish and invertebrates) that use potential nesting sites; and its abundant, tiny larvae. Its pelagic larvae are about half the size of other fish larvae, suggesting an unusual niche for them (Moyle 2002).…”

Articles Streams, lakes, and estuaries are among the most highly invaded ecosystems in the world; in many of them, alien organisms are now a significant part of the biota (Cohen 2002). The best-documented invaders in these systems are fishes. Because many fish species are widely introduced, there is concern among scientists and managers over the homogenization of freshwater fish faunas worldwide (McKinney and Lockwood 1999, Rahel 2002. Invasions by alien species also have high ecological and economic costs. Efforts to prevent the spread of unwanted fish and other organisms, however, are still small compared with the size of the problem (Meyerson and Reaser 2003), in part because policymakers and the public often fail to appreciate the seriousness of the invasions. Many harmful alien fishes, for example, are also favorite food and game fishes. Thus, to make predictions useful for the management and control of alien species, scientists need to understand the nature of invaders, the invasion process, and the impact of invasions, and to communicate that knowledge effectively.Because "any species can invade and any environment can be invaded" (Moyle and Light 1996), a search for generalities that would be useful for predicting the success of potential invaders may be futile. Kolar and Lodge (2001) argue, however, that quantitative approaches (including meta-analysis of diverse sources of information) can produce useful predictions. In particular, they argue for the need to analyze data on failed invasions. We think there is also a need to focus analyses at regional scales, because studies at continental or global scales tend to yield results with limited predictive ability (Gido and Brown 1999, Lockwood 1999, Ruesink 2005. In this article we address these issues of approach and scale in relation to fish invasions by synthesizing recent studies in California, mainly our own. We focus on these studies because the scope and completeness of our data sets make our studies widely applicable. After introducing California as a laboratory for the study of fish invasions, we focus on the potential for predicting success and impacts of freshwater fish invasions based on (a) symbiotic characteristics (the relationship of the fish to humans), (b) biological characteristics of the invaders, (c) characteristics of the invasion site, and (d) the invasion process. We then briefly address the question, Do alien fishes alter the ecosystems they invade? Peter B. Moyle (e-mail: pbmoyle@ucdavis.edu
