  abstract = {{T}he {F}reshwater {A}nimal {D}iversity {A}ssessment ({FADA}) project aims at compiling an overview of genus- and species-level diversity of animals in the continental, aquatic ecosystems of the world. {I}t is a collective effort of 163 experts, and presents 59 articles treating the diversity and endemism of different animal taxa, ranging from microscopic worms to mammals, at global and regional scales. {G}iven their structural importance, an article on macrophytes is also added. {H}ere, we give an overview of the project's history, and outline the common framework of the various articles, as well as the conventions the experts agreed to adhere to in their treatises. {F}urthermore, we briefly introduce future prospects.},
