Freshwater crabs and the biodiversity crisis: Importance, threats, status, and conservation challenges (2009, background): “The present study was prompted by a growing awareness of the true extent of freshwater crab diversity and of the possible threatened status of many narrowly distributed species given the current widespread destruction of tropical forests and aquatic ecosystems (Dudgeon, 1992, 2000; Sodhi et al., 200”
Inter- and intra-annual variations of macroinvertebrate assemblages are related to the hydroperiod in Mediterranean temporary ponds (2009, background): “Temporary ponds are optimal habitats for many macroinvertebrate species, being important for the conservation of their specialized fauna (Strayer, 2006).”
Physicochemical stream bed characteristics and recruitment of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) (2007, background): “the conservation of freshwater invertebrates (Strayer, 2006), but are applicable in a much broader context.”
State of the world's freshwater ecosystems: physical, chemical, and biological changes. (2011, background): “assessed) and 1,369 species of freshwater invertebrates (131).”
Impacts of oil palm plantations on changes in environmental heterogeneity and Heteroptera (Gerromorpha and Nepomorpha) diversity (2017, background): “Such questions about the conservation of invertebrates are associated with a lack of knowledge about diversity and the distribution of communities, often preventing decisionmaking (Strayer 2006; Cardoso et al.”
Winning the biodiversity arms race among freshwater gastropods: competition and coexistence through shell variability and predator avoidance (2010, background): “’’ Hutchinson’s focus on species richness and species interactions in food webs continues to engage ecologists and evolutionary biologists because the sustainability of freshwater biodiversity remains a challenge as one of the most important questions in biology (Dudgeon et al., 2006; Strayer, 2006;”
Patterns of Freshwater Bivalve Global Diversity and the State of Phylogenetic Studies on the Unionoida, Sphaeriidae, and Cyrenidae * (2013, background): “Bivalves are major components of aquatic communities, and the ongoing global biodiversity catastrophe occurring in our fresh waters lends urgency to the study of these mollusks (Strayer 2006, Strayer and Dudgeon 2010, Dudgeon et al. 2011).”
Freshwater biodiversity conservation: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “Globally, perhaps ,10,000 to 20,000 freshwater species already are extinct or imperiled as a result of human activities (Strayer 2006, IUCN 2007).”
Physical and biological controls on fine sediment transport and storage in rivers (2018, background): “Invertebrates are one of the most affected taxonomic groups (Poff, Olden, & Strayer, 2012; Strayer, 2006) and this could have consequences, not just for biodiversity, but also fine sediment dynamics in the future.”
The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “…2007; Jelks et al. 2008) – as well as many amphibians and freshwater reptiles, and 10,000-20,000 freshwater macroinvertebrate species (especially crayfi sh and unionid mussels) are threatened (Gibbons et al. 2000; Revenga et al. 2005, Strayer 2006; Taylor et al. 2007; Strayer and Dudgeon 2010).”
A ‘big data’ approach to global freshwater mussel diversity (Bivalvia: Unionoida), with an updated checklist of genera and species (2021, background): “…& Cummings, 2007b), the imperilled conservation status of freshwater mussels attracted much needed attention (Bogan, 1993; Lydeard et al., 2004; Strayer, 2006; Lopes-Lima et al., 2018b), regional faunas were revised and there was an impetus for an updated global checklist of genera and species…”
Contrasting effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on beta diversity in river organisms (2013, background): “Benthic macroinvertebrates also represent an important fraction of stream biodiversity and their assemblage composition and richness exhibit a strong correlation with environmental change at reach and basin levels (Strayer, 2006).”
