Nonindigenous Species of the Pacific Northwest: An Overlooked Risk to Endangered Salmon? (2009, background): “The construction of reservoirs associated with hydrosystem projects has facilitated the spread and establishment of many aquatic nonnative species, as well as the expansion of native species suited to these lotic environments (Harvey and Karieva 2005, Havel et al. 2005).”
Integrating dispersal proxies in ecological and environmental research in the freshwater realm (2017, background): “680 Hypothetically, some widely recognized man-made structures that impair dispersal of native 681 species such as dams (Winemiller et al. 2016) might, at the same time, boost the spread of 682 invasive species (Havel et al. 2005).”
Homogenization of freshwater fish faunas after the elimination of a natural barrier by a dam in Neotropics (2012, background): “Dams can reduce hydrologic connectivity between neighbouring habitats or conversely enhance connectivity by allowing the dispersal of fish into systems outside of their natural range (Havel et al., 2005; Johnson et al., 2008).”
Invasion of stream fishes into low trophic positions (2007, background): “Again, sport fishes that are associated with reservoirs also were common invaders in this region, further illustrating the importance of reservoirs in mediating the distribution of introduced species (Havel et al. 2005).”
A Serious New Threat to Brazilian Freshwater Ecosystems: The Naturalization of Nonnative Fish by Decree (2014, background): “Moreover, cages will be installed in reservoirs, environments that facilitate invasions (Havel et al. 2005; Johnson et al. 2008): once in the reservoir, fish may reach contiguous areas, including reserves and protected areas.”
Fish Invasions in the World's River Systems: When Natural Processes Are Blurred by Human Activities (2008, background): “, dams and reservoirs modifying river flows) that are known to facilitate the establishment of non-native species [7,23,29].”
Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Aquatic Invasive Species (2008, background): “Reservoirs provide recreational opportunities that attract humans from far away; thus, they represent potential hot spots for species invasions (Havel et al. 2005).”
A management framework for preventing the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species (2008, background): “For example, a small number of lakes may act as invasion ‘‘hubs’’ and should be the focus of efforts to prevent or slow the secondary spread of invasive species (Havel et al. 2005; Muirhead and MacIsaac 2005).”
