BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

Much effort has been devoted to develo**, constructing and refining fish passage facilities
to enable target species to pass barriers on fluvial systems, and yet, fishway science …

Hydropower is a rapidly develo** and globally important source of renewable electricity.
Globally, over 60% of rivers longer than 500 km are already fragmented and thousands of …

In an attempt to restore the connectivity of fragmented river habitats, a variety of passage
facilities have been installed at river barriers. Despite the cost of building these structures …

Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

Attraction and passage efficiency were reviewed and compared from 19 monitoring studies
that produced data for evaluations of pool‐and‐weir, Denil, vertical‐slot and nature‐like …

Quantifying fish dispersal and identifying its general predictors is key for understanding
temporal patterns in population dynamics, emigration and immigration, meta‐community …

This paper synthesises published literature on run‐of‐river hydropower, highlighting its
potential to affect both the physical and ecological conditions of river systems. The paper …

Worldwide, obstructions on watercourses have interfered with migratory pathways of fish
species, reducing life‐cycle success and often eliminating diadromous fish species …

Most of the large rivers of South America are impounded mainly for hydropower production.
The construction of fish passes has been one of the strategies adopted by Brazilian …
