Major shifts in biogeographic regions of freshwater fishes as . . . Animals and plants worldwide are structured in global biogeographic regions, which were shaped by major geologic forces during Earth history Recently, humans have changed the course of events by multiplying global pathways of introduction for nonindigenous species and propagating local species extirpations Here, we report on how introductions and extirpations have changed the distributions
