concurrent invaders--four exotic species of monogenea now established on exotic freshwater fishes in australia.	four species of exotic monogeneans are reported from five species of exotic freshwater fish in australia: gytrodactylus bullatarudis from poecilia reticulata and xiphophorus helleri in queensland; gyrodactylus macracanthus from misgurnus anguillicaudatus in the australian capital territory; dactylogyrus extensus from cyprinus carpio in the australian capital territory; and dactylogyrus anchoratus from carassius auratus in the australian capital territory. this is the first published record of de ...	1998	9846613
laboratory evaluation of two native fishes from tropical north queensland as biological control agents of subterranean aedes aegypti.	the ability of 2 freshwater fishes, eastern rainbow fish melanotaenia splendida splendida and fly-specked hardyhead craterocephalus stercusmuscarum stercusmuscarum, native to north queensland to prey on immature aedes aegypti was evaluated under laboratory conditions. the predation efficiency of the 2 species was compared to the exotic guppy, poecilia reticulata, which is commonly used as a biological control agent of mosquito larvae. of the 3 fish species tested, m. s. splendida was shown to be ...	2001	11480819
invasion success and genetic diversity of introduced populations of guppies poecilia reticulata in australia.	high genetic diversity is thought to characterize successful invasive species, as the potential to adapt to new environments is enhanced and inbreeding is reduced. in the last century, guppies, poecilia reticulata, repeatedly invaded streams in australia and elsewhere. quantitative genetic studies of one australian guppy population have demonstrated high additive genetic variation for autosomal and y-linked morphological traits. the combination of colonization success, high heritability of morph ...	2005	16202088
