Passive Water Filtration Enhances the Detection of Endangered Fish Species in Rivers: <i>Anguilla anguilla</i> and <i>Salmo salar</i> Monitoring Using qPCR. [PDF]
This study assesses the effectiveness of environmental DNA (eDNA) for monitoring the critically endangered Anguilla anguilla and the near‐threatened Salmo salar using quantitative PCR. Active in situ water filtration and passive metaprobe deployment were compared, showing that metaprobes provided greater sensitivity for low‐abundance species, while ...

While farmers are key actors in pollinator conservation, recent farmer protests indicate that their support for agri‐environmental policies such ...

Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...
