Species invasions threaten the antiquity of China's freshwater fish fauna (2017, background): “United States (7.2%; Rahel, 2000), but considerably higher than Australia (1.”
State of the World’s Fisheries (2003, background): “One of the most important issues is that of introduced species, which in the United States have resulted in large-scale homogenization of fish faunas, particularly in the western continental states (38).”
Crayfish invading Europe: the case study of Procambarus clarkii (2006, background): “Recent analyses suggest that biodiversity in fresh waters declines at far greater rates than in the most affected terrestrial ecosystems (e.g. Ricciardi and Rasmussen 1999), and that biotic homogenization is accelerating in several freshwater systems (Rahel 2000).”
Indirect facilitation of an anuran invasion by non‐native fishes (2003, background): “Many eastern centrarchids have been widely introduced in western North America (Moyle 1986) representing a major, but often overlooked, ecosystem alteration ( Rahel 2000; Schindler et al. 2001).”
Forecasting faunal and floral homogenization associated with human population geography in North America (2006, methodology): “Model predictions for fish homogenization were validated against empirical estimates reported for Canada (Taylor, 2004) and the US (Rahel, 2000).”
High white-tailed deer densities benefit graminoids and contribute to biotic homogenization of forest ground-layer vegetation (2009, background): “While most research to date has been limited to documenting cases of biotic homogenization (Rahel 2000, 2002; McKinney 2004; Taylor 2004), there remains a pressing need to identify the key drivers of the homogenization process (Olden 2006).”
Impacts of non-native fishes on Iberian freshwater ichthyofauna: current knowledge and gaps (2010, background): “Moreover, the Iberian freshwater ichthyofauna is facing an increasing “faunal homogenization” (Clavero and GarcíaBerthou 2006), defined as the domination of communities by few cosmopolitan introduced species at the expense of unique native species (e.g. Moyle and Mount 2007; Rahel 2000; 2002; 2007).”
Worldwide freshwater fish homogenization is driven by a few widespread non-native species (2016, background): “Those widespread processes have received attention in previous local studies on homogenization patterns reporting the important role of a small pool of species of interest as part of human activities (Rahel 2000; Clavero and Garcı́a-Berthou 2006; Rahel 2007).”
Contrasted impacts of climate change on stream fish assemblages along an environmental gradient (2009, background): “Most studies have shown that assemblages become more homogeneous when facing exotic species invasions and extirpations of native species (Rahel, 2000; McKinney, 2004; Qian & Ricklefs, 2006; Olden et al., 2008).”
A paradox of trout invasions in North America (2008, background): “suitable habitat outside their native ranges, and represent among the most extensive fish invasions in North America (Rahel 2000; Schade and Bonar 2005).”
Biotic homogenization: a new research agenda for conservation biogeography (2006, background): “, 2004), fishes (Radomski & Goeman, 1995; Rahel, 2000; Marchetti et al., 2001, 2006; Walters et al., 2003; Taylor, 2004), plants (McKinney, 2004a; Rooney et al.”
Five Potential Consequences of Climate Change for Invasive Species (2008, background): “A classic case of purposeful introduction is the sport-fishing industry (Rahel 2000; Ruesink 2005).”
Introduction of non‐native freshwater fish can certainly be bad (2009, methodology): “…Journal compilation 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd belied by theory, practical concerns, and many empirical data (Parker et al. 1999; Mack et al. 2000; Rahel 2000; Simberloff 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006a,b, 2007; Olden et al. 2004; Jeschke and Strayer 2005; Ruesink 2005; Gherardi 2007).”
Homogenization of freshwater fish faunas after the elimination of a natural barrier by a dam in Neotropics (2012, methodology): “…may be influenced by a great number of ecological characteristics, such as habitat conditions (Lambdon et al., 2008; Qian et al., 2008), the species involved (Rahel, 2000; Qian & Ricklefs, 2006), time after introduction and human interventions (Olden et al., 2005; Smart et al., 2006).”
Homogenization of Freshwater Faunas (2002, methodology): “Rahel (2000) reported 4.6 introductions for every extirpation among fish faunas of the 48 coterminous United States, again supporting the view that most introductions do not result in extirpations.”
THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSTRATE HETEROGENEITY ON BIOFILM METABOLISM IN A STREAM ECOSYSTEM (2002, background): “…is being exacerbated by many human activities that are simplifying the structure of ecosystems—physical habitat heterogeneity is declining, natural disturbance regimes are being removed or simplified, and species pools are being homogenized worldwide (Stanford et al. 1996, Daily 1997, Rahel 2000).”
