Biodiversity in freshwater habitats is decreasing faster than in any other type of environment,
mostly as a result of human activities. Monitoring these losses can help guide mitigation …

Despite the ecological and societal importance of large rivers, fish sampling remains costly
and limited to specific habitats (eg, river banks). Using an eDNA metabarcoding approach …

Transitional waters are fragile ecosystems with high ecological, social and economic values,
that undergo numerous threats. According to the information provided by European Member …

Most of the present EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) compliant fish‐based assessment
methods of European rivers are multi‐metric indices computed from traditional electrofishing …

The present work examined the trophic transfer of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFASs) in a typical urban river (Orge River, near Paris, France), and aimed to …

Freshwater bioindicators have been developed to assess ecosystem health and responses
to human-induced stressors. To date, most bioindicators primarily rely on the species identity …

The hierarchical branching nature of river networks can have a strong influence on the
assembly of freshwater communities. This unique structure has spurred the development of …

In human-altered rivers, fish are often conjointly exposed to an increase in water
temperature due to global warming and to a contamination by organic pollutants such as …

The effects of industrial cooling water on fish communities were widely debated at the end of
the seventies, when large thermal power plants were being developed. This led to …

With the decrease in biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems, the monitoring of fish has
become a current research hotspot. The eDNA-based method has been applied to a variety …
