Freshwater fish have been widely introduced worldwide, and freshwater ecosystems are
among those most affected by biological invasions. Consequently, freshwater fish invasions …

Study of the impacts of biological invasions, a pervasive component of global change, has
generated remarkable understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of the spread …

Freshwater fish represent one-fourth of the world's vertebrates and provide irreplaceable
goods and services but are increasingly affected by human activities. A new index …

Animals and plants worldwide are structured in global biogeographic regions, which were
shaped by major geologic forces during Earth history. Recently, humans have changed the …

It has been argued that globalization in human-mediated dispersal of species breaks down
biogeographic boundaries, yet empirical tests are still missing. We used data on native and …

Eutrophication substantially influences the community structure of aquatic organisms and
has become a major threat to biodiversity. However, whether eutrophication is linked to …

Aim One of the main gaps in the assessment of biodiversity is the lack of a unified framework
for measuring its taxonomic and functional facets and for unveiling the underlying patterns …

Regional species assemblages have been shaped by colonization, speciation and
extinction over millions of years. Humans have altered biogeography by introducing species …

The imminent demise of montane species is a recurrent theme in the climate change
literature, particularly for aquatic species that are constrained to networks and elevational …

Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …
