Results showed PAs did not guarantee impacts richness outside PAs, suggesting panacea for safeguarding diversity. Nevertheless, more caution should applied management measures design new due limitations protection single stretch whole river ecosystem. Moreover, impossibility operate any invasive broad scale basin likely limiting factor in Italy. Finally, it also necessary extend analysis other basins Europe.
