The recognition that invasive alien species (IAS) are among the greatest threats to
biodiversity has stimulated a growing interest in their impacts on native amphibians. Here …

Introduced fish are a major threat for high altitude aquatic habitats and Salvelinus fontinalis
have been widely used throughout the Alps for stocking lakes and rivers. Understanding its …

High mountain lakes are mostly naturally fishless ecosystems that have received numerous
trout introductions over the world. Extensive studies mostly developed in west North America …

Fish introduction is a major threat to alpine lake biota leading to the loss of native species
and to the degeneration of natural food-webs. This study provides an extensive investigation …

Freshwater ecosystems support the highest biological diversity per unit area on the planet,
despite occupying much less area than terrestrial and marine systems. Freshwater …

High mountain lakes are originally fishless, although many have had introductions of non-
native fish species, predominantly trout, and recently also minnows introduced by fishermen …

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 …

Amphibians of high mountain lakes face many threats related to global change, including
novel pathogens, development, climate change and overexploitation. However, the foremost …

We reconstruct range–wide phylogeographies of two widespread and largely co-occurring
Western Palearctic frogs, Rana temporaria and R. dalmatina. Based on tissue or saliva …

High mountain lakes provide essential ecosystem services and have a high conservation
value. Therefore, understanding how glacier retreat will affect their ecological functioning …
