Pick your battles: competitive strategies of green chromides (Etroplus suratensis) during inter- and intraspecific contests
Competitive ability is a key determinant of organismal fitness, yet high costs of interference competition necessitate strategic behavioural responses. This study investigated how green chromide (GC), a cichlid native to the Indian subcontinent, competes with the globally invasive tilapia species (T, Oreochromis spp.) that has encroached upon its habitats. We staged dyadic feeding competitions…
