Fish and aquatic habitat conservation in South America: a continental overview with emphasis on neotropical systems
Fish conservation in South America is a pressing issue. The biodiversity of fishes, just as
with all other groups of plants and animals, is far from fully known. Continuing habitat loss …

A moving target—incorporating knowledge of the spatial ecology of fish into the assessment and management of freshwater fish populations
Freshwater fish move vertically and horizontally through the aquatic landscape for a variety
of reasons, such as to find and exploit patchy resources or to locate essential habitats (eg …

Community-based management induces rapid recovery of a high-value tropical freshwater fishery
Tropical wetlands are highly threatened socio-ecological systems, where local communities
rely heavily on aquatic animal protein, such as fish, to meet food security. Here, we quantify …

Toward a better understanding of freshwater fish responses to an increasingly drought-stricken world
Drought is a constant and important consequence of natural climatic processes and most
freshwater fishes have adaptations to counter its effects. However, a changing global climate …

Lessons from integrating fishers of arapaima in small-scale fisheries management at the Mamirauá Reserve, Amazon
Fishers and small-scale fisheries worldwide have been marginalized historically. Now it is
clear that integrating fishers in management processes is key to resource conservation, but it …
