  abstract = {{A}nimals and plants worldwide are structured in global biogeographic regions, which were shaped by major geologic forces during {E}arth history. {R}ecently, humans have changed the course of events by multiplying global pathways of introduction for nonindigenous species and propagating local species extirpations. {H}ere, we report on how introductions and extirpations have changed the distributions of freshwater fishes worldwide and how it affected their natural biogeographic regions. {W}e found major shifts in natural regions, with the emergence of an intercontinental region arising from the fusion of multiple faunas, which we named {P}an-{A}nthropocenian {G}lobal {N}orth and {E}ast {A}sia ({PAGNEA}). {T}he {PAGNEA} region is evocative of the {P}angea supercontinent, as flows of introductions show that dispersal has become possible again across multiple continents, suggesting that human activities have superseded natural geological forces. {O}ur results constitute evidence on the expected modification of biostratigraphic boundaries based on freshwater fish, which are abundant in the fossil record, thereby supporting the concept of the {A}nthropocene epoch.},
