The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “…of riverine habitats means that the populations and communities they harbour are differentially connected to – or isolated from – each other (Fagan et al. 2002; Benda et al. 2004), with abilities to disperse through networks that depend on the vagaries of confl uence patterns, stream…”
Detecting range shifts among Australian fishes in response to climate change (2011, background): “Thus, at larger spatial scales, changes in connectivity among local populations may increase overall extinction risk of local and regional populations, as has been previously predicted and documented for fragmented fish populations in desert streams (see Fagan 2002; Fagan et al. 2002).”
Geographical distribution and extinction risk: lessons from Triassic–Jurassic marine benthic organisms (2007, background): “…on modern taxa support the view that geographically widespread and common species are less endangered than geographically restricted and rare species (Johnson, 1998; Purvis et al., 2000; Fagan et al., 2002; Jones Museum für Naturkunde, HumboldtUniversität, Invalidenstrasse 43, 10115 Berlin,”
A comparison-shopper's guide to connectivity metrics (2004, background): “For example, Fagan et al. (2002) demonstrated that for Sonoran Desert fishes, species that were historically distributed more compactly (ie species with shallow scale–area slopes) were at a distinct advantage when it came to weathering the ensuing decades of anthropogenic alterations to their…”
Living in the branches: population dynamics and ecological processes in dendritic networks. (2007, background): “Therefore, in species that are restricted to within-network movements (e.g. most fish), the likelihood of recolonization following disturbance will increase as the size of the impacted stream decreases (Fagan et al. 2002; Fagan 2002).”
Allometric and phylogenetic variation in insect phosphorus content (2004, methodology): “Consequently, following the concept of independent contrasts (Felsenstein 1985), we employed a distance measure that quantifies phylogenetic structure among species by counting how many nodes separate each pair of taxa (e.g. Fagan et al . 2002b ).”
Methods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes. (2004, background): “However, we have relatively little idea of the magnitude of habitat loss and the degree of habitat dependence of marine species (Stone 1995; Stone et al. 1996; Benaka 1999; Fagan et al. 2002).”
Long-term trends of native and non-native fish faunas in the American Southwest (2005, methodology): “…true extirpation events because modern records in the dataset are almost exclusively the result of intensive efforts by federal or state agencies to determine species’ complete distributions prior to listing decisions under the U.S. or Mexican Endangered Species Acts (Fagan et al., 2002).”
CONNECTIVITY, FRAGMENTATION, AND EXTINCTION RISK IN DENDRITIC METAPOPULATIONS (2002, background): “…fishes, historical fragmentation of species’ ranges is a stronger predictor of local extinction risk than is the number of historical occurrences (Fagan et al. 2002), in part because human habitat modifications have dramatically reduced opportunities for recoloni- zation during periods of high…”
Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “Projected changes in stream flow associated with climate change and human water needs are highly uncertain (Palmer et al., 2008), and the influence of habitat connectivity on dendritic stream networks adds an additional layer of complexity to such extrapolations (Fagan et al., 2002).”
Life-history strategies predict fish invasions and extirpations in the colorado river basin (2006, methodology): “…differ depending the particular method of quantiﬁcation, e.g., point data versus range size based on atlas data (see Telfer et al. 2002), our estimate of the percentage of decline was highly correlated with the probability of local extirpation ( R 5 0.90, P , 0.05) reported by Fagan et al. (2002).”
Freshwater biodiversity conservation: recent progress and future challenges (2010, background): “…of the drainage network can strongly affect the persistence of imperiled freshwater species and that extirpations and extinctions that will result from past fragmentation have not yet proceeded to completion (e.g., Fagan 2002, Fagan et al. 2002, Matthews and MarshMatthews 2007, Strayer 2008).”
RARITY, FRAGMENTATION, AND THE SCALE DEPENDENCE OF EXTINCTION RISK IN DESERT FISHES (2005, methodology): “As detailed in Fagan et al. (2002), we developed historical distributions by cumulating occurrence records from 1843 to 1980, whereas modern records were cumulated from 1981 to 2001.”
Predatory Fish Removal and Native Fish Recovery in the Colorado River Mainstem (2005, background): “Whether one agrees or disagrees with these assertions, the fact remains that regional native fish faunas continue to decline (Minckley and Rinne 1991; Fagan et al. 2002), and recovery actions that have been undertaken or proposed for threatened or endangered fish have been ineffective, or worse, neg”
Fish conservation in freshwater and marine realms: status, threats and management (2016, background): “…freshwater fishes commonly known as mudminnows (formerly known as the family Umbridae but recently reclassified as Esocidae) are a typical example (Kuehne and Olden, 2014) while desert fishes (e.g. Catostomus and Gila spp.) comprise perhaps the most extreme freshwater example (Fagan et al., 2002).”
