Evaluating Potential Effects of Exotic Freshwater Fish From Incomplete Species Presence–absence Data (2002, background): “By and large, however, freshwater biodiversity has been seriously neglected (Allan and Flecker 1993; Leidy and Moyle 1998; Saunders et al. 2002).”
Linking Scales in Stream Ecology (2006, background): “This multiscale approach can inform both the design of stream-based ecological reserves and strategies to protect downstream resources (Saunders et al. 2002).”
Historical Impacts on River Fauna, Shifting Baselines, and Challenges for Restoration (2009, background): “The concept of freshwater protected areas is rapidly gaining momentum in scientific circles (Saunders et al. 2002, Kingsford and Nevill 2005, Suski and Cooke 2007), but it is also becoming clear that using terrestrial and marine systems as models for freshwater reserves is inappropriate— new…”
Application of species distribution models and conservation planning software to the design of a reserve network for the riverine fishes of northeastern Mesoamerica (2011, background): “and should be an important strategy to protect representative freshwater biodiversity (Crivelli, 2002; Saunders et al., 2002; Abell et al., 2007).”
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): “Some authors acknowledge that exceptions have to be made for very large streams because whole catchment protection is too diffi cult to achieve (Saunders et al. 2002; CollaresPereira and Cowx 2004).”
Sand, gravel, and UN Sustainable Development Goals: Conflicts, synergies, and pathways forward (2021, neutral): “124,125 Thus when evaluating how aggregate mining will affect a landscape, the effects from mining activities must be understood in the light of other existing human pressures.”
The effects of noise disturbance from various recreational boating activities common to inland waters on the cardiac physiology of a freshwater fish, the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). (2008, background): “In North America there is increasing use of aquatic protected areas to reduce or eliminate direct fisheries exploitation (Saunders et al., 2002; Suski and Cooke, 2007).”
Fish fauna in Iberian Mediterranean river basins: biodiversity, introduced species and damming impacts (2004, background): “Therefore, it is also important to preserve these watercourses (Saunders et al., 2002), since flow alterations would increase the probability of their invasion by introduced species.”
Participatory Scenario Planning for Protected Areas Management under the Ecosystem Services Framework: the Doñana Social-Ecological System in Southwestern Spain (2011, background): “Although few freshwater protected areas have been specifically created to protect wetlands around the world, still they face problems such as land-use disturbances, altered hydrologies, and introduction of nonnative species (Saunders et al. 2002).”
