Biodiversity and risk patterns of freshwater megafauna Fengzhi He Your picture Significance: Coupled with the susceptibility of megafauna to anthropogenic threats and the fact that freshwaters habitats have experienced extensive degradation because of human activities, it can be hypothesised that freshwater megafauna are amongst the most imperilled species globally. These large-bodied animals play important ecological roles and may be consistently associated with high levels of biodiversity. These charismatic species may provide potentially powerful symbols to raise public awareness and support for freshwater conservation. Global pattern of species richness in freshwater megafauna Analyzing imapct of anthropogenic threats on freshwater megafauna Tracking trends in population abundance of freshwater megafauna
