Extinction Rates in North American Freshwater Fishes, 1900–2010 (2012, background): “…in freshwater ecosystems, where the proportion of threatened and endangered species is generally greater than that in terrestrial ecosystems (Pimm et al. 1995, Strayer and Dudgeon 2010) and where imperilment levels are similar to those of tropical rain forests (Ricciardi and Rasmussen 1999).”
Global patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism (2013, neutral): “1Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of”
State of the world's freshwater ecosystems: physical, chemical, and biological changes. (2011, background): “Although freshwater composes less than 1% of the planet’s surface, the 126,000 known freshwater animal species make up approximately 10% of described animal species and one-third of global vertebrate diversity (124).”
Effective monitoring of freshwater fish (2019, background): “Although freshwaters cover less than 1% of the earth’s surface, they support high levels of biodiversity (Dudgeon et al., 2006; Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010).”
Chironomids as indicators in freshwater ecosystems: an assessment of the literature (2015, background): “This scenario is enigmatic, occurring mainly in aquatic environments in poorly studied regions, such as the countries in the southern hemisphere, where the most of world’s freshwater environments and biodiversity are concentrated (Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010; V€or€osmarty et al., 2010).”
Patterns, Causes, and Consequences of Anthropocene Defaunation (2016, background): “Rates of modification of freshwater habitats are predicted to only increase as climate change advances, and new modifications are required to protect water security in a more climatically dynamic future (Strayer & Dudgeon 2010).”
TheAlliance for Freshwater Life: A global call to unite efforts for freshwater biodiversity science and conservation (2018, background): “…2002; Benz & Collins, 1997; Collen et al., 2014; Dudgeon et al., 2006; Foley et al., 2005; Master, Stein, Kutner, & Hammerson, 2000; McAllister, Hamilton, & Harvey, 1997; Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010; Thieme et al., 2011; Vörösmarty et al., 2010), yet little action has been taken to address them.”
