This study examines population changes in sea trout across different spatial scales in Scotland over 72 years, finding significant national declines but varied regional and district patterns.

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.

This study examines genetic differentiation in Arctic charr across Scotland, finding that glacial history influenced colonization and genetic patterns despite geographic distance.

The paper uses genomic data to identify evolutionarily significant and vulnerable Arctic charr populations in Scotland, highlighting those most at risk from climate change.

This study uses environmental DNA metabarcoding to track the spatial and temporal patterns of Arctic charr spawning in a lake, confirming its effectiveness compared to traditional methods.

This study shows that eDNA metabarcoding read counts correlate with fish biomass and abundance in ponds, and results are consistent across different DNA capture methods.
