Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

Rivers continue to be harnessed to meet humanity's growing demands for electricity, water,
and flood control. While the socioecological impacts of river infrastructure projects (RIPs) …

Andes-to-Amazon river connectivity controls numerous natural and human systems in the
greater Amazon. However, it is being rapidly altered by a wave of new hydropower …

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 …

This study aimed to investigate the environmental impacts generated by the hydroelectric
complex in the Madeira River, Brazilian Amazon, based on the perceptions of local fishers …

Spatial prioritization tools provide a means of finding efficient trade‐offs between biodiversity
protection and the delivery of ecosystem services. Although a large number of prioritization …

Context The cumulative impact of broad scale environmental change includes altered land-
cover and fragmentation. Both altered land-cover and fragmentation have a negative effect …

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

The presence of dams, stream–road crossings and other infrastructure often compromises
the connectivity of rivers, leading to reduced fish abundance and diversity. The assessment …

Infrastructure-induced fragmentation of riverine ecosystems has engendered the need for
more effective aquatic restoration efforts globally. Fragmentation assessments have been …
