Long-term evaluation of the impact of urbanization on native and non-native fish assemblages by Shubha N. Pandit, Mark S. Poesch, Jurek Kolasa, Laxmi Koirala Pandit, Jonathan L. W. Ruppert, Eva C. Enders

“…Three hypotheses were tested: (1) the rate of change in species richness differs among the three groups; (2) urbanization promotes the spread and homogenization of non-native species distribution; and (3) native species assemblages exhibit high nestedness initially, decreasing over time as non-native species established and replaced native species. We used general linear models and the nestedness analysis to characterize matrices of species distributions of native and non-native fish assemblages among the catchments over time. …”
