Prospects for conserving freshwater fish biodiversity in the Anthropocene: A view from Southern China
David Dudgeon
Abstract:Globally, population declines of freshwater animals have been consistently greater than counterparts in other realms, making fresh waters hot spots of endangerment—particularly for larger species. Furthermore, biotas have become increasingly homogenized as invasions by non‐native species proceed.

Here, I examine the prospect… Show more
