Aquatic biodiversity assessment for the lazy
Molecular Ecology, 2016 The world is covered in DNA. In any ecosystem, extracellular DNA fragments can be found that once formed the genomes of a variety of micro‐ and macroorganisms. A few years ago, it was proposed to use this environmental DNA (eDNA) as a source of information on local vertebrate biodiversity (Ficetola et al. ; Taberlet et al. ).

ANTHROPIC RISK ASSESSMENT ON BIODIVERSITY [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014 Abstract. This paper presents a methodology for risk assessment of anthropic activities on habitats and species. The method has been developed for Veneto Region, in order to simplify and improve the quality of EIA procedure (VINCA). Habitats and species, animals and plants, are protected by European Directive 92/43/EEC and 2009/147/EC but they are ...
