“…This could involve regular assessments of fish populations, habitat conditions and ecosystem health, coupled with flexible management plans that can be adjusted in response to emerging trends. Additionally, engaging with stakeholders, including local communities, resource managers and policymakers, will be essential in crafting effective strategies that balance ecological conservation with sustainable economic activities (Tarkan et al, 2024).…”

“…It allows us to glean insights into the historical state of ecosystems, providing context for current conditions and potential trajectories . Moreover, such a preliminary assessment may offer a vital benchmark against which future data can be compared, enabling us to gauge the effectiveness of conservation strategies and adaptive management practices to minimize anthropogenic stressors like non-native species (Soto et al, 2024;Tarkan et al, 2024). In the absence of such baseline assessments, we risk overlooking subtle yet critical shifts in biodiversity that may have significant implications for the health and functioning of ecosystems.…”

This study investigates the temporal and spatial distribution of species richness in the Turkish portions of the Euphrates and Tigris catchments in Mesopotamia, aiming to identify areas lacking sufficient research and inform future conservation and management efforts. Data from 153 fish assemblages in the Euphrates catchment and 100 in the Tigris catchment, spanning from 1941 to 2022, were analysed using a combination of analytical occurrence, spatial and space‐for‐time mixed effect models. Results indicate an increase in reported species over time, attributed to heightened sampling efforts, and reveal significant differences in spatial species richness distribution influenced by uneven sampling and environmental suitability. Identification of areas with insufficient research, potential undetected species and biodiversity losses highlights the need for improved assessments to prevent unnoticed biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Our results emphasize the importance of accurate biodiversity assessments for effective conservation and management interventions in these catchments.
