Investment in territorial defence depends on rearing environment in brown trout (Salmo trutta) (2003, background): “The brown trout (S. trutta) is found on most continents (Berra 2001) and is reared in hatcheries around the world (Brown and Laland 2001).”
Evidence from mitochondrial genomics supports the lower Mesozoic of South Asia as the time and place of basal divergence of cypriniform fishes (Actinopterygii: Ostariophysi) (2011, background): “However, cypriniform fishes are almost entirely restricted to freshwater, with only a few exceptional species in Leuciscinae that migrate to estuary or coastal areas (Berra, 2001).”
Freshwater Ecoregions of the World: A New Map of Biogeographic Units for Freshwater Biodiversity Conservation (2008, background): “The applicability of Wallace’s (1876) and Udvardy’s (1975) zoogeographic realms to most freshwater taxa is unresolved (Berra 2001, Vinson and Hawkins 2003), and these divisions are too large for conservation planning endeavors.”
Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “This constrained geography is at least partially responsible for the fantastic diversity of freshwater fishes seen around the world (Berra, 2001; Lévêque et al., 2008).”
Global biogeographical regions of freshwater fish species (2019, background): “1 in Appendix S8) and Holt et al. (2013, Table S8.”
