eDNA sampling reveals no negative effects of beaver recolonisation on the catchment-scale distribution of migratory fish

James A. Macarthur, Alan Law, Nigel J. Willby…·Bernd Hänfling

The paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to assess the impact of beaver recolonisation on migratory fish distribution across a catchment, finding no negative effects on salmon or lamprey but a positive association with eel.
