Abstract About 5–10% of the world's land surface is currently wetland but possibly> 70% is
already destroyed or impaired. Conservation of these unique ecosystems lags progress in …

Drought is a constant and important consequence of natural climatic processes and most
freshwater fishes have adaptations to counter its effects. However, a changing global climate …

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

Understanding how natural selection generates and maintains adaptive genetic diversity in
heterogeneous environments is key to predicting the evolutionary response of populations …

Trait analysis has potential to identify species that are vulnerable to climate change, but its
predictive strength has not been adequately examined. Conditions during the recent …

Climate extremes and their physical impacts–including droughts, fires, floods, heat waves,
storm surges and tropical cyclones–are important structuring forces in riverine ecosystems …

Research in reintroduction biology has provided a greater understanding of the often limited
success of species reintroductions and highlighted the need for scientifically rigorous …

Many freshwater fishes are imperilled globally, and there is a need for easily accessible,
contemporary ecological knowledge to guide management. This compendium contains …

Construction of instream barriers, preventing fish from accessing spawning, nursery and
feeding habitat, is a major issue impacting fisheries sustainability throughout the world …

The lower reaches of the expansive Murray–Darling Basin, Australia, are a hotspot for
freshwater biodiversity. The regional ecosystem, however, has been significantly altered by …
