Organism abundance is a critical parameter in ecology, but its estimation is often
challenging. Approaches utilizing eDNA to indirectly estimate abundance have recently …

Research has demonstrated consistent positive correlations between organism abundance
and absolute environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations. Robust correlations in laboratory …

Environmental change is continuing to affect the flow of nutrients, material and organisms
across ecosystem boundaries. These cross-system flows are termed ecosystem subsidies …

Fish stocking is a serious threat to originally fishless mountain lakes. We used non-chemical
eradication methods (ie gillnetting and electrofishing) in four high mountain lakes in the …

The concentration of eDNA in an environment can provide important ecological information
of relevance for management and conservation, but little research has explored optimizing …

Native trout are threatened worldwide by introductions of nonnative trout that in many cases
are themselves threatened within their native range and historical habitats. This chapter …

Eco‐cultural landscapes are assumed to be favorable environments for the persistence of
biodiversity, but global change may affect differently their terrestrial and aquatic …

Quantifying rarity at the intraspecific level is an important task for conservation biologists
because rare phenotypes have a higher extinction risk than common ones. However …

This study assessed the effectiveness of a novel conservation strategy for the native brown
trout populations in Sardinia (Italy). The conservation measures included:(i) installation of an …

This study aimed to assess the biological and sanitary conditions of alien fish in a high-
mountain lake (Balma Lake) located in the Cottian Alps. A single fish sampling session …
