River damming has brought great benefits to flood mitigation, energy and food production,
and will continue to play a significant role in global energy supply, particularly in Asia, Africa …

The loss of longitudinal connectivity affects river systems globally, being one of the leading
causes of the freshwater biodiversity crisis. Barriers alter the dispersal of aquatic organisms …

An understanding of the consequences of human-mediated disturbances from multi-facet
diversity (ie species, functional and phylogenetic) perspectives is of great significance in …

Fragmentation affects river ecosystems worldwide by dampening the movement and
dispersal of aquatic organisms and material (such as sediment, water, nutrients) across the …

Given the decline of natural fish abundance and diversity, a ban on pen-culture and fishing
has been imposed on floodplain lakes along the Yangtze River. In order to examine the …

Freshwater fishes are among the most threatened taxa worldwide owing to changes in land
use, species introductions, and climate change. Although more than half of the freshwater …

Dams and diversions are a primary threat to freshwater fish biodiversity, including the loss of
species and restructuring of communities, often resulting in taxonomic homogenization …

Dams as crucial metrics for characterizing aquatic species diversity and river ecosystem
have significant effects on river longitudinal connectivity (RLC). Specially, the reduction of …

The global increase in human population is driving a continuous conversion of land to
anthropogenic uses. This is a major threat to lotic ecosystems worldwide, as it compromises …

The effects of human-induced stressors on riverine fish assemblages are still poorly
understood, especially in species-poor assemblages such as those of temperate South …
