Biogeography of freshwater fishes of the Balkan Peninsula (2014, neutral): “8% of Earth’s surface (Dudgeon et al., 2006).”
Can biological traits of stream invertebrates help disentangle the effects of multiple stressors in an agricultural catchment (2014, background): “Agriculture, as the single largest user of freshwater worldwide, is a major cause of freshwater quality decline and habitat deterioration (Allan, 2004; Dudgeon et al., 2006).”
Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management (2016, background): “…catchment disturbance, deforestation, riparian loss, water pollution, river corridor engineering, dams and water diversions, extensive wetland drainage, groundwater depletion, aquatic habitat loss and fragmentation, establishment of introduced alien species, and overfishing (Dudgeon et al., 2006).”
Impact of climate warming on European inland waters (2014, background): “Biodiversity therefore is perhaps the ultimate conservation challenge in Europe and worldwide to save intact inland waters (Dudgeon et al. 2006).”
Stream Fragmentation Thresholds for a Reproductive Guild of Great Plains Fishes (2011, background): “Introduction Humans have altered biological and ecological processes and influenced the abundance and distribution of organisms on a global scale (Dudgeon et al. 2006; Vorosmarty et al. 2010).”
TheAlliance for Freshwater Life: A global call to unite efforts for freshwater biodiversity science and conservation (2018, background): “The causes of this crisis have been recognized for many years (Abell, 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…”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “Non-native invasive fish species are increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to extinction threat in fresh waters, one that joins and combines synergistically with habitat loss and fragmentation, hydrologic alteration, climate change, overexploitation, and pollution (Dudgeon et al. 2006”
Conservation priorities for freshwater biodiversity: the key biodiversity area approach refined and tested for continental Africa (2012, background): “…of the earth’s surface, freshwater ecosystems contribute disproportionately to global biodiversity, containing around one third of all vertebrates (Dudgeon et al., 2006; Strayer and Dudgeon, 2010), and providing ecosystem goods and services estimated to be worth trillions of dollars annually…”
Effective monitoring of freshwater fish (2019, background): “Although fresh waters cover less than 1% of the earth's surface, they support high levels of biodiversity (Dudgeon et al., 2006; Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010).”
