Fish fauna destruction after the introduction of a non-native predator (Cichla kelberi) in a Neotropical reservoir (2009, background): “…impacts (Agostinho et al. 2005), (1) the ongoing introduction of Cichla spp. into different environments, (2) the damming of all large rivers, and (3) the vulnerability of Neotropical fish fauna to invasions (Rodrı́guez 2001), increase the chance of environmental catastrophes in aquatic ecosystems.”

Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “…these are the same properties that make the approach particularly risky in terms of unintended ecological consequences (e.g., the insular nature of freshwater systems makes them highly sensitive to the detrimental effects of introduced species; Dudgeon et al., 2006; Rahel, 2007; see Challenge 5).”
Global biogeographical regions of freshwater fish species (2019, background): “Terrestrial bound‐ aries and salt waters represent strong barriers to dispersal, hence drainage basins have been considered as “island‐like” systems for strictly freshwater organisms (Dias et al., 2014; Hugueny, Oberdorff, & Tedesco, 2010; Rahel, 2007; Tedesco et al., 2012).”
Contrasting patterns and mechanisms of spatial turnover for native and exotic freshwater fish in Europe (2009, background): “Therefore, assuming that freshwater fish introductions are a contemporary phenomenon (Rahel, 2007), selective extinctions associated with historical processes cannot explain patterns of nestedness in exotic species (whereas these processes are important drivers of native nestedness).”
Intentional Fragmentation as a Management Strategy in Aquatic Systems (2013, background): “362 BioScience • May 2013 / Vol. 63 No. 5 www.biosciencemag.org Articles Rhine–Main–Danube Canal, which resulted in a massive biotic exchange between the Rhine and Danube drainages (Rahel 2007, Leuven et al. 2009).”

Freshwater fish introductions in mediterranean‐climate regions: are there commonalities in the conservation problem? (2010, background): “The introduction of freshwater fishes to new regions is a result of human activities: both intentional (e.g. aquaculture, aquarium release, as live bait, establishing a fishery or biocontrol) and unintentional (e.g. inter-basin transfer schemes, ballast water) (Rahel, 2007).”
Impacts of non-native fishes on Iberian freshwater ichthyofauna: current knowledge and gaps (2010, background): “Moreover, the Iberian freshwater ichthyofauna is facing an increasing “faunal homogenization” (Clavero and GarcíaBerthou 2006), defined as the domination of communities by few cosmopolitan introduced species at the expense of unique native species (e.g. Moyle and Mount 2007; Rahel 2000; 2002; 2007).”
Natural fragmentation in river networks as a driver of speciation for freshwater fishes (2013, background): “Indeed, physical or climatic subdivisions of habitats limit gene flow in ways that can promote local diversification (Rahel 2007, Burridge et al. 2008, Boizard et al. 2009, Meeuwig et al. 2010).”
