Aim To identify key research questions and challenges that will, if addressed in a timely
manner, significantly advance the field of freshwater fish biogeography and conservation …

Recent developments in environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding suggest that eDNA-
based representation of ecological communities can be a promising tool in both …

The concept of β-diversity, defined as dissimilarity among communities, has been widely
used to investigate biodiversity patterns and community assembly rules. However, in …

Studies on elevation diversity gradients have covered a large number of taxa and regions
throughout the world; however, studies of freshwater fish are scarce and restricted to …

In this study, we investigated how taxonomic and functional diversity of fish communities is
influenced by forest cover and mesohabitat types in Neotropical lowland streams. We …

The hypothesis of convergence takes the deterministic view that community (or assemblage)
structure can be predicted from the environment, and that the environment is expected to …

Freshwater conservation efforts require an understanding of how natural and anthropogenic
factors shape the present-day biogeography of native and non-native species. This …

Fish diets provide information that can be used to explore and model complex ecosystems,
