Recreational trail use alters mammal diel and space use during and after COVID-19 restrictions in a U.S. national park by Hailey M. Boone, Mark Romanski, Kenneth Kellner, Roland Kays, Lynette Potvin, Gary Roloff, Jerrold L. Belant

“…Short-term or gradual variation in human visitation within and across years makes it challenging to assess species responses. We used data from 156 cameras deployed on and off trails (within 50 m) in Isle Royale National Park (IRNP), Michigan, USA, during 2020–2021 to assess diel activity, temporal overlap, and space use of four wildlife species in response to human visitation and wolves. …”

Borrell, Carlos Granado-Lorencio

“…In this work, we used non-invasive vertical and horizontal hydroacoustic surveys and environmental DNA river sampling to unravel the actual distribution and dispersal pattern of the species in the lower Guadalquivir River. The hydroacoustic profiles and the species-specific detections by real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) showed that these non-invasive methods allow the detection and quantification of catfish and provide valuable information on the species’ presence. …”
