  abstract = {{T}he life histories of freshwater fish are widely studied because they represent fundamental determinants of population performances. {H}owever, a gap remains in our understanding of how species traits may predispose species to extinction in a changing environment. {I}n this study, based on a large data set provided by the {F}rench {N}ational {A}gency for {W}ater and {A}quatic {E}nvironment (325 sites), we analysed factors that explain the probability of local extinction in 40 freshwater species across {F}rench rivers. {A} total of five traits characterised the demography of 40 species, and eight environmental parameters at the 325 sites were examined. {O}ur results agreed closely with an empirical classification of freshwater fish in temperate regions, conforming to three-endpoint continuum of life-history strategies' of species (equilibrium, periodic and opportunist). {T}he probability of local species extinction was closely related to species traits. {E}quilibrial species tended to show lower annual extinction rates, whereas opportunistic species and, above all, periodic ones exhibited higher extinction values. {N}evertheless, prediction of species local extinctions is not trivial and depends not only on particular suites of life-history traits but also on their interaction with environmental conditions along the longitudinal river continuum.},
