Dams and other anthropogenic barriers have caused global ecological and hydrological
upheaval in the blink of the geological eye. In the present article, we synthesize 307 studies …

Small hydropower plants (SHPs) are proliferating globally, but their cumulative threat to
blocking migratory fish and the fisheries that these fish sustain has been underappreciated …

Worldwide, fishways are increasingly criticized for failing to meet conservation goals. We
argue that this is largely due to the dominance of diadromous species of the Northern …

Rivers are very vulnerable to fragmentation caused by the presence of man-made barriers.
To restore river basin connectivity, numerous indices have been developed to calculate river …

River damming threatens freshwater biodiversity worldwide by isolating populations,
reducing both gene flow and genetic variation, and affecting the ability of a given population …

The magnitude of hydropower developments in emerging regions threatens the
sustainability of their riverine landscapes. Fragmentation of river networks by multiple …

Reduced connectivity created by artificial barriers can influence the genetic integrity of
isolated subpopulations by reducing local population sizes and altering patterns of gene …

Fragmentation of watercourses poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly for
migratory fish species. Mitigation measures such as fishways, have been increasingly …

Metapopulation models include spatial population dynamics such as dispersion and
migration between subpopulations. Integral projection models (IPMs) can include …

Australia's first trap-and-haul fishway was built to overcome site-related and biological
challenges of providing upstream fish transfer at a 62 m dam. Challenges included multiple …
