With the high demand for freshwater and its vital role in sustaining multiple ecosystem services, it is important to quantify and evaluate freshwater provisioning for various services (e.g., drinking, fisheries, recreation). Research on ecosystem services has increased recently, though relatively fewer studies apply a data driven approach to quantify freshwater provisioning for different ecosys...

Freshwater invertebrate conservation faces 5 important challenges. First, ;10,000 species of freshwater invertebrates around the world may already be extinct or imperiled.
