Project name: Hologenomic insights into the biology of invasive and endangered fishes in Mediterranean wetlands

Description: Freshwater habitats are under increasing pressure from numerous anthropogenic forces including the introduction of invasive species capable of altering ecosystems, resulting in an overall loss of genetic diversity as native and endemic populations disappear. Although alien species themself are likely to experience loss of genetic diversity when colonising novel environments, they manage to become invasive, suggesting that other factors might facilitate their adaptive capacity. Using a hologenomic approach, we elucidate population genomic trends, the gut microbiota and genome-environment-microbiota interaction in the endemic and endangered Spanish toothcarp (Aphanius iberus) and the highly invasive Eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki).
