| Impact Description | In a field study, Gambusia affinis altered the zooplankton community composition and size distribution, likely through size-selective predation. Consequently, Gambusia affinis can indirectly slow leaf-litter decomposition rates due to predation on detritivores. These reductions may lead to trophic cascades and indirect impacts on ecosystem functions |
