Introduction The diversity of freshwater fishes is threatened by multiple environmental stressors, including climate change, alterations in land use, and introduction of non-native species. However, the quantification of temporal biodiversity in freshwater communities is limited. Here, we asked: i) how has alpha (species richness), beta (changes in...

The present study compiles data from 292 lots, of which 4 lots with 45 specimens belong to Belonion dibranchodon (Collette, 1966), 190 lots with 324 specimens to Pseudotylosurus angusticeps (Günther, 1866), 53 lots with 124 specimens to Potamorrhaphis eigenmanni (Ribeiro, 1915), and for Potamorrhaphis guianensis (Jardine, 1843), 40 lots with 108 sp...

In South Africa, freshwater habitats are among the most threatened ecosystems, and freshwater fishes are the most threatened species group. Understanding patterns in freshwater fish diversity, threat, invasion, and protection status are vital for their management. However, few studies have undertaken such analyses at ecologically and politically ap...

Past sea level changes and geological instability along watershed boundaries have largely influenced fish distribution across coastal basins, either by dispersal via palaeodrainages now submerged or by headwater captures, respectively. Accordingly, the South American Atlantic coast encompasses several small and isolated drainages that share a simil...

Life-history traits of a species have been postulated as a factor in abundance and occupancy patterns. Understanding how traits contribute to the ubiquity and rarity of taxa can facilitate the development of effective conservation policy by establishing a connection between species requirements and resource. The goal was to evaluate fish assemblage...

Freshwater systems are among the most affected by the introduction of exotic species. The pumpkinseed sunfish Lepomis gibbosus, a centrarchid native to eastern North America, is listed among the top ten introduced freshwater fishes with the greatest ecological impact globally. Despite this, genetic and evolutionary studies of the species are still ...

A multi-mesh trammel net has been developed and used for sampling freshwater fishes. However, little is known about the catch efficiency of the net. This research investigated the catch efficiency of a multi-mesh trammel net (nominal mesh size; 10.0, 30.0, 50.0, and 70.0 mm) for fish sampling in the Yangtze River of China. Catch composition and fac...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a reliable method to assess taxonomic diversity, but the incompleteness of genetic reference databases prevents the assignation of many sequences to a given species. Functional diversity (FD) is a key biodiversity facet to monitor, but it requires the identification of all species within communities to acco...

Poikilothermic animals comprise most species on Earth and are especially sensitive to changes in environmental temperatures. Species conservation in a changing climate relies upon predictions of species responses to future conditions, yet predicting species responses to climate change when temperatures exceed the bounds of observed data is fraught ...
