We integrate the respective role of global and regional factors driving riverine fish species richness patterns, to develop a synthetic model of potential mechanisms and processes generating these patterns. This framework allows species richness to be broken down into different components specific to each spatial extent and to establish links between these components and the processes involved. This framework should help to answer the questions that are currently being asked by society, including the effects of species invasions, habitat loss, or fragmentation and climate change on freshwater biodiversity.

• A macroecological perspective of trait patterns in stream communities (2013, background): “, 1980), large-scale approaches to understand community patterns in stream systems are rather recent (Olden et al., 2010; Verberk, van der Velde & Esselink, 2010; Heino, 2011; Oberdorff et al., 2011).”
• Climate‐induced changes in the distribution of freshwater fish: observed and predicted trends (2013, background): “As these regions account for a major proportion of freshwater fish endemism (Oberdorff et al., 2011), our overall understanding of climate-induced effects on freshwater fish distribution would greatly benefit from further research in so far poorly studied regions.”
• Global biogeographical regions of freshwater fish species (2019, background): “However, such dispersal events are rare, therefore, immigration and speciation presumably occur on similar time‐scales (Oberdorff et al., 2011).”
