Abstract

The temporal ecological and evolutionary processes which might have assisted the invasion of Mozambique Tilapia Orrochromis mossambicus species in Australia over the past 30 years are discussed. The attributes which assist invasion and create a temporal feedback between the invader and the invaded communities and ecosystems need to be identified to expose the mechanism by which O. mossambicus effects change over period of time.
