TL;DR: It is found that eDNA amounts exhibit a positive relationship with fish biomass, and that feeding could increase the amount of eDNA shed by ten-fold, whereas water temperature did not have an effect, and quantification of e DNA may be useful for predicting carp density, as well as densities of other rare or invasive species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize climate trends that may influence North American inland fish populations and assemblages, compile 31 peer-reviewed studies of documented climate change effects on North American fish populations, and highlight four case studies representing a variety of observed responses ranging from warmwater systems in the southwestern and southeastern United States to coldwater systems along the Pacific Coast and Canadian Shield.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on identifying and discussing 10 general factors (can also be viewed as research and implementation needs) that constrain or hinder effective conservation action for endangered river fish.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide the first systematic prioritization for freshwaters (focusing on the highly threatened and globally distinct fish fauna of the Lower Colorado River Basin, USA) simultaneously considering scenarios of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity.

TL;DR: This review synthesizes the mechanistic effects of climate change on neuroendocrine, cardiorespiratory, immune, osmoregulatory, and reproductive systems of freshwater and diadromous fishes.
