Pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) invasions facilitated by introductions and nature management strongly reduce macroinvertebrate abundance in isolated water bodies (2008, unknown): “Humans have been demonstrated to be the main vector in the dispersal of non-native fish (Trombulac and Frissell 2000; Copp et al. 2005) and Copp et al.”
Growth and life history traits of introduced pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) in Europe, and the relevance to its potential invasiveness (2007, background): “6), with particular reference to age at maturity and juvenile growth rate of which both depend to a degree on temperature; (2) characteristics of the drainage basin/landscape into which the species was first introduced, with dispersal facilitated by watercourse and water body connectivity; and (3) h”
Review: Toward management of urban ponds for freshwater biodiversity (2019, background): “The number of ornamental varieties of fish in ponds was found to increase as distance of a pond from the nearest road decreased (Copp et al. 2005), highlighting a human-driven pathway of pond colonization.”
