An analysis of the distribution over time of seven #freshwater #fish species and one lamprey in the upper Po River basin (NW #Italy), an important #biodiversity hotspot.
Some drivers for the decline in the native species are linked to the overall degradation of the river environments: #habitat alterations, loss of connectivity, excessive water abstraction, #pollution presence of #invasiveAlien species...

Distribution of fish species in the upper Po River Basin (NW Italy): a synthesis of 30 years of data
Freshwater fish is the most diverse group of vertebrates but, unfortunately, also one of the most threatened. While some well-known, charismatic species have been subject to important conservation efforts, many others have long been neglected.doi.org

Checklist and distribution of the groundwater crustacean fauna from Sicily, Italy
Owing to the “Racovitzan impediment”, the groundwater fauna of most biogeographical regions is currently inadequately known, thus hampering our understanding of subterranean biodiversity and its protection.doi.org
It estimated that #livestock, mostly #cattle, accounted for 18% of global greenhouse gas #emissions, which was more than the transport sector.
The report also highlighted the impacts of livestock on land use, water use, and #biodiversity loss.
