“…Although invasive invertebrates are also a concern in reservoirs (e.g., Jovem-Azevedo et al, 2022), comparatively more studies indicate a catastrophic effect of invasive non-native fish on native assemblages (Leprieur et al, 2008;Pelicice & Agostinho, 2009;Rinne et al, 2005;Weyl & Ellender, 2014).…”

“…(2) Reservoirs are often associated with increased abundances of invasive non‐native fish (Clavero & Hermoso, 2011 ; Jellyman & Harding, 2012 ).

Rivers suffer from multiple stressors acting simultaneously on their biota, but the consequences are poorly quantified at the global scale. We evaluated the biological condition of rivers globally, including the largest proportion of countries from the Global South published to date. We gathered macroinvertebrate‐ and fish‐based assessments from 72,275 and 37,676 sites, respectively, from 64 study regions across six continents and 45 nations. Because assessments were based on differing methods, different systems were consolidated into a 3‐class system: Good, Impaired, or Severely Impaired, following common guidelines. The proportion of sites in each class by study area was calculated and each region was assigned a Köppen‐Geiger climate type, Human Footprint score (addressing landscape alterations), Human Development Index (HDI) score (addressing social welfare), % rivers with good ambient water quality, % protected freshwater key biodiversity areas; and % of forest area net change rate. We found that 50% of macroinvertebrate sites and 42% of fish sites were in Good condition, whereas 21% and 29% were Severely Impaired, respectively. The poorest biological conditions occurred in Arid and Equatorial climates and the best conditions occurred in Snow climates. Severely Impaired conditions were associated (Pearson correlation coefficient) with higher HDI scores, poorer physico‐chemical water quality, and lower proportions of protected freshwater areas. Good biological conditions were associated with good water quality and increased forested areas. It is essential to implement statutory bioassessment programs in Asian, African, and South American countries, and continue them in Oceania, Europe, and North America. There is a need to invest in assessments based on fish, as there is less information globally and fish were strong indicators of degradation. Our study highlights a need to increase the extent and number of protected river catchments, preserve and restore natural forested areas in the catchments, treat wastewater discharges, and improve river connectivity.

“…The PIE can be visualized as the slope at the base of the rarefaction curve (Olszewski, 2004). For statistical analyses, we convert PIE into an effective number of species (S PIE , the effective number of species given the probability of interspecific encounter), described as the number of species that would be observed in a community if all species were equally abundant (Jost, 2006).…”

“…Our data set consisted of 524 freshwater lakes from across the globe (Table S1; Figure 1 Mexico (n = 4) and Russia (n = 2). Most of these data had been published previously (Cortés-Guzmán et al, 2019;Drake et al, 2011;Hu et al, 2014;Jeppesen et al, 2020;Jovem-Azevêdo et al, 2022;Jyväsjärvi et al, 2014;Loskutova, 2020;Ntislidou et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2019). We also included data from an additional 19 lakes identified in a Google Scholar literature review using the search terms "shallow lake" AND "zoobenthos" OR "benthic macroinvertebrate".…”

The island species–area relationship (ISAR) describes how species richness increases with increasing area of a given island or island‐like habitat, such as freshwater lakes. While the ISAR is one of the most common phenomena observed in ecology, there is variation in both the form of the relationship and its underlying mechanisms. We compiled a global data set of benthic macroinvertebrates from 524 shallow freshwater lakes, ranging from 1 to 293,300 ha in area. We used individual‐based rarefaction to determine the degree to which ISAR was influenced by mechanisms other than passive sampling (larger islands passively sample more individuals from the regional pool and, therefore, have more species than smaller islands), which would bias results away from expected relationships between rarefied species richness (and other measures that capture relative abundances) and lake area. We also examined how climate may alter the shape of the ISARs. We found that both rarefied species richness (the number of species standardized by area or number of individuals) and a measure of evenness emphasizing common species exhibit shallow slopes in relationships with lake area, suggesting that the expected ISARs in these lakes most likely result from passive sampling. While there was considerable variation among ISARs across the investigated lakes, we found an overall positive rarefied ISAR for lakes in warm (i.e. tropical/subtropical) regions (n = 195), and in contrast, an overall negative rarefied ISAR in cool (i.e. north temperate) lakes (n = 329). This suggested that mechanisms beyond passive sampling (e.g. colonization–extinction dynamics and/or heterogeneity) were more likely to operate in warm lakes. One possible reason for this difference is that the area‐dependent intensity of fish predation, which can lead to flatter ISARs, is weaker in warmer relative to cooler lakes. Our study illustrates the importance of understanding both the pattern and potential processes underlying the ISARs of freshwater lakes in different climatic regions. Furthermore, it provides a baseline for understanding how further changes to the ecosystem (i.e. in lake area or climate) might influence biodiversity patterns.
