  abstract = {{I}n this study, we test whether established non-native species induce functional changes in natural assemblages. {W}e combined data on the body size of freshwater fish species and a worldwide data set of native and non-native fish species for 1058 river basins. {W}e show that non-native fish species are significantly larger than their native counterparts and are a non-random subset of the worldwide set of fish species. {W}e further show that the median body size of fish assemblages increases in the course of introductions. {T}hese changes are the opposite of those expected under several null models. {I}ntroductions shift body size patterns related to several abiotic factors (e.g. glacier coverage and temperature) in a way that modifies latitudinal patterns (i.e. {B}ergmann's rule), especially in the southern hemisphere. {T}ogether, these results show that over just the last two centuries human beings have induced changes in the global biogeography of freshwater fish body size, which could affect ecosystem properties.},
