A) Box and whisker plots show the median total length for internal (white), border (blue) and reference (red) traps (Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, Holm-Sidak post hoc tests *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001). The median is shown as the horizontal line, the 25th and 75th percentiles are indicated at the end of each box, and the error bars represent the 10th and 90th percentiles. B) Histograms plotting the size distribution of the total length (mm) of fish captured in each trap [internal (white), border (blue) and reference (red)]. Bin size is 5 mm.

The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is an invasive benthic fish first introduced to the Laurentian Great Lakes in 1990 that has negatively impacted native fishes through increased competition for food and habitat, aggressive interactions, and egg predation. While complete eradication of the round goby is currently not possible, intensive trappi...

Many studies seeking to understand the success of biological invasions focus on species’ escape from negative interactions, such as damage from herbivores, pathogens, or predators in their introduced range (enemy release). However, much less work has been done to assess the possibility that introduced species might shed mutualists such as pollinato...
