Bias in freshwater biodiversity sampling: the case of Iberian water beetles (2008, background): “Our results highlight the lack of complete and extensive inventory data for aquatic taxa (Lévêque et al ., 2005), as water beetles could be probably be considered one of the best studied groups of freshwater invertebrates in the region.”
Global diversity of non-biting midges (Chironomidae; Insecta-Diptera) in freshwater (2007, background): “Our working group has discussed this issue and have labored to develop a standardized definition (Lévêque et al., 2005).”
Global diversity of fish (Pisces) in freshwater (2007, background): “25% of living vertebrates (about 55,000 described species) and represent 13– 15% of the 100,000 freshwater animal species currently known (Lévêque et al. 2005).”
Fish diversity, habitat ecology and their conservation and management issues of a tropical River in Ganga basin, India (2010, background): “The main causes are habitat destruction and defragmentation (Cuizhang and others 2003), water abstraction, industries and private use (Szollosi-Nagy 2004; Ricciardi and Rasmussen 1999; Gibbs 2000; Dawson and others 2003) exotic species introduction (Copp and others 2005), pollution (Lima-Junior et a”
Freshwater Ecoregions of the World: A New Map of Biogeographic Units for Freshwater Biodiversity Conservation (2008, background): “The most exhaustive recent global inventory of freshwater taxa acknowledges serious survey gaps and assigns species distributions only to the level of continent (Lévêque et al. 2005).”
An updated classification of the freshwater crayfishes (Decapoda: Astacidea) of the world, with a complete species list (2017, methodology): “Additionally, we integrate these results into the IUCN RedList (IUCN, 2016) and in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS, 2017) taxonomic database through the Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment (FADA) Project (Lévêque et al., 2005).”
Global diversity of water beetles (Coleoptera) in freshwater (2007, unknown): “In contrast to the statement by Lévêque et al. (2005), most aquatic beetles are not ‘‘cosmopolitan, or widespread’’.”
The evolutionary history of Trichoptera (Insecta): A case of successful adaptation to life in freshwater (2013, background): “Adaptation to a life in freshwater from previously marine or terrestrial animal lineages has occurred numerous times (Balian et al ., 2007) and involved one or more life stages (Lévêque et al ., 2005).”
The Status and Distribution of Freshwater Biodiversity in Northern Africa (2010, background): “Freshwater habitats and biodiversity are recognized to be under serious threat at global level (Revenga and Kura 2003; Leveque et al. 2005; Dudgeon et al. 2006).”
