Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the principal threats to freshwater biodiversity.
Exclusion barriers are increasingly being used as a management strategy to control the …

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third-most important fish species in global
aquaculture. Its farmed production has experienced a sharp rise in the last two decades, and …

Dams and other anthropogenic barriers have caused global ecological and hydrological
upheaval in the blink of the geological eye. In the present article, we synthesize 307 studies …

The habitats of most species have been fragmented by human actions, isolating small
populations that consequently develop genetic problems. Millions of small, isolated …

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation is often implicated as driving the current global
extinction crisis, particularly in freshwater ecosystems. The genetic signal of recent …

Loss of connectivity caused by anthropogenic barriers is a key threat for migratory
freshwater species. The anadromous life history of salmonids means that barriers on …

Abstract Aim The British Isles have been worked for millennia to extract metal ores to feed
industrial development, leaving a legacy of mine water pollution that continues to impact …

Hydropower use of watercourses has tangible consequences for the environment, society
and economy. Based on a literature review and their own research, the authors present …

Barrier effects observed in the presence of weirs are exacerbated by low water levels. We
conducted a 10-year study to assess the ecological effects of stream restoration while …

River damming threatens freshwater biodiversity worldwide by isolating populations,
reducing both gene flow and genetic variation, and affecting the ability of a given population …
