  abstract = {{T}ropical rivers are experiencing an unprecedented boom in dam construction. {D}espite rapid dam expansion, knowledge about the ecology of tropical rivers and the implications of existing and planned dams on freshwater-dependent species remains limited. {H}ere, we evaluate fragmentation of fish species' ranges, considering current and planned dams of the {M}agdalena {R}iver basin, {C}olombia. {W}e quantify the relationship between species' range and body sizes and use a vulnerability limit set by this relationship to explore the influence that fragmentation of species' ranges has on extinction risk. {W}e find that both existing and planned dams fragment most fish species' ranges, splitting them into more vulnerable populations. {I}mportantly, we find that migratory species, and those that support fisheries, are most affected by fragmentation. {O}ur results highlight the dramatic impact that dams can have on freshwater fishes and offer insights into species' extinction risk for data-limited regions.},
