Colony spawning and enhanced brood protection in invasive bluegill found to facilitate their spread

Bluegill, recognized as aggressive invaders causing significant harm to native species, have been introduced to aquatic systems worldwide, including Japan. Their unique colony spawning involves males constructing nests in close proximity to one another, with each male guarding its own nest. However, these behaviors remain understudied in invaded habitats.
