Freshwater Ecoregions of the World: A New Map of Biogeographic Units for Freshwater Biodiversity Conservation

Robin Abell, +28 more
- 01 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: Preliminary data for fish species compiled by ecoregion reveal some previously unrecognized areas of high biodiversity, highlighting the benefit of looking at the world's freshwaters through a new framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species diversity: from global decreases to local increases

Dov F. Sax, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2003 - 
TL;DR: The authors examine evidence that indicates how species diversity is changing across spatial scales and argue that global decreases in diversity are commonly contrasted by increases in diversity at regional and local scales, and conclude that diversity might commonly be increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using multivariate adaptive regression splines to predict the distributions of New Zealand's freshwater diadromous fish

John R. Leathwick, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between probabilities of occurrence for fifteen diadromous fish species and environmental variables characterising their habitat in fluvial waters was explored using an extensive collection of distributional data from New Zealand rivers and streams.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impacts of freshwater invaders at different levels of ecological organisation, with emphasis on salmonids and ecosystem consequences

Kevin S. Simon, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2003 - 
TL;DR: Simultaneous study at several ecological levels should yield a fuller understanding of the mechanisms underlying impacts of invading animals and plants, providing a sounder basis for predicting the impacts of freshwater invasive species.

Flood disturbance regimes influence rainbow trout invasion success among five holarctic regions

Kurt D. Fausch, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2001 - 
TL;DR: This work evaluated the hypothesis that, among regions with suitable water temperatures, environmental resistance from flood disturbances that wash away trout fry strongly influence invasion success of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the most widely introduced fish species.
