Aggressive interactions during feeding between native and invasive freshwater turtles (2011, background): “…diverse competitive advantages of sliders over Spanish terrapins, such as a more accurate assessment of predatory risk in altered habitats, displacement of native turtles mediated by chemical cues avoidance, or a greater thermal inertia that favors heat retention (Polo-Cavia et al. 2008, 2009a, b).”
Fifty years later: trophic ecology and niche overlap of a native and non-indigenous fish species in the western basin of Lake Erie (2013, background): “Many successful NIS are classified as trophic generalists (Marvier et al. 2004), characterized by their wide ecological tolerance and diets, allowing them to be highly successful in new habitats (Sax and Brown 2000; Polo-Cavia et al. 2008).”
Competitive interactions during basking between native and invasive freshwater turtle species (2010, background): “…activity to less preferred basking sites (Cadi and Joly 2003) or to the shores of the ponds, in contrast to the safer basking places emerging in open deep water in the center of the ponds, thus incurring additional costs such as higher predation risk (López et al. 2005; Polo-Cavia et al. 2008).”
