Fish communities face increasing anthropogenic pressures in freshwater and marine
ecosystems that modify their biodiversity and threaten the services they supply to human …

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 …

Land use intensification can greatly reduce species richness and ecosystem functioning.
However, species richness determines ecosystem functioning through the diversity and …

Agricultural land use is a primary driver of environmental impacts on streams. However, the
causal processes that shape these impacts operate through multiple pathways and at …

Although extinctions due to climate change are still uncommon, they might surpass those
caused by habitat loss or overexploitation over the next few decades. Among marine …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-
being? In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes …

In this review, we first summarize how hydrologic connectivity has been studied for riverine
fish capable of moving long distances, and then identify research opportunities that have …

The need for integrated and widely accessible sources of species traits data to facilitate
studies of ecology, conservation, and management has motivated development of traits …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 162–174 Abstract Predicting community and species responses
to disturbance is complicated by incomplete knowledge about species traits. A phylogenetic …

To date, the predominant use of systematic conservation planning has been to evaluate and
conserve areas of high terrestrial biodiversity. Although studies in freshwater ecosystems …
