Contrasting patterns and mechanisms of spatial turnover for native and exotic freshwater fish in Europe (2009, background): “Such a result is not surprising, as human-assisted freshwater fish introductions breach natural geographical barriers to movement in Europe (Garcı́a-Berthou et al., 2005), leading to greater fish fauna homogenization in southern Europe (Clavero & Garcı́aBerthou, 2006; Leprieur et al., 2008a).”
Worldwide freshwater fish homogenization is driven by a few widespread non-native species (2016, background): “Human activities have strongly altered species composition and richness of the freshwater ecosystems over the world (Vitousek 1997; Butchart et al. 2010; Leprieur et al. 2008a).”
Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages (2013, background): “The introduction of non-native freshwater fishes is a significant component of global environmental change (Leprieur et al., 2008a,b; Marr et al., 2010).”
Decomposing functional β-diversity reveals that low functional β-diversity is driven by low functional turnover in European fish assemblages (2013, background): “The fish faunas correspond to native species lists reported in the literature for 25 large European drainage basins (Leprieur et al., 2008).”
Widespread plant species: natives versus aliens in our changing world (2011, background): “…McKinney and Lockwood 2001; Rooney et al. 2004; Qian and Ricklefs 2006; Castro and Jaksic 2008, Winter et al. 2008; fishes: Olden and Poff 2003; Leprieur et al. 2008; birds: La Sorte and Boecklen 2005; Van Turnhout et al. 2007), while few studies have looked at intercontinental or global…”
Functional homogenization exceeds taxonomic homogenization among European fish assemblages (2014, background): “3), which is consistent with previous studies on freshwater fish faunas in Europe (Clavero & García-Berthou, 2006; Leprieur et al., 2008b; Villéger et al., 2011a; Hermoso et al., 2012).”
Reservoirs promote the taxonomic homogenization of fish communities within river basins (2010, background): “Studies in faunal similarities among drainages or regions have been performed in the USA in different occasions and at different spatial scales (see Olden and Poff 2004), and in Canada (Taylor 2004), Europe (Clavero and Garcı́a-Berthou 2006; Leprieur et al. 2008) or Australia (Olden et al. 2008).”
Fish Invasions in the World's River Systems: When Natural Processes Are Blurred by Human Activities (2008, result): “Our results are consistent with several studies showing that species-rich fish communities can support higher species richness if the pool of potential colonisers is increased by species introductions [24,30,31].”
Ecological Impacts of Nonnative Freshwater Fishes (2011, background): “…in faunal similarity of 17.1% C Clavero and García-Berthou (2006) Multiple species Multiple species Europe Mean increase in faunal similarity of 2.2% C Leprieur et al. (2008b) Multiple species Multiple species Australia Mean increase in faunal similarity of 3.0% C Olden et al.…”
Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, background): “Therefore, this result suggests that climate change would tend to exacerbate the biotic homogenization, which has already started because of human-mediated intro-ductions of invasive species (Leprieur et al. , 2008a).”
