Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management
Despite the disparities in size and volume of marine and freshwater realms, a strikingly
similar number of species is found in each–with 15 150 Actinopterygian fishes in fresh water …

The role of dispersal in river network metacommunities: Patterns, processes, and pathways
River networks are hierarchical dendritic habitats embedded within the terrestrial landscape,
with varying connectivity between sites depending on their positions along the network. This …

Causes and consequences of habitat fragmentation in river networks
Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

Do stream fish track climate change? Assessing distribution shifts in recent decades
Understanding the ability of species to shift their distribution ranges in response to climate
change is crucial for conservation biologists and resources managers. Although freshwater …

Drivers and stressors of freshwater biodiversity patterns across different ecosystems and scales: a review
The present review with focus on the last decade (2000–2010) aims to (i) collecting the
major hypotheses explaining freshwater biodiversity patterns,(ii) identifying the main …

Biogeography of Amazonian fishes: deconstructing river basins as biogeographic units
ABSTRACT Biogeography of Amazonian fishes (2,500 species in vastly disjunct lineages) is
complex and has so far been approached only partially. Here, we tackle the problem on the …
