All the species living in rivers\u2014including fish, bacteria and many different aquatic invertebrates, such as mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies\u2014are crucial for the functioning of these ecosystems. But many species are under threat due to habitat homogenization, pollution by pesticides and nutrients, and the spread of non-native species.
