TL;DR: The analyses reveal extraordinarily strong genetic differentiation among populations separated by < 15 km, and extremely low levels of intrapopulation genetic variability.

TL;DR: Microsatellite-based individual admixture analysis appear to be an important tool for identifying remaining non-introgressed indigenous individuals that could be used for restoring the original populations of the Adriatic grayling.

TL;DR: There is no consensus on the reasons for the absence of self-sustaining populations of rainbow trout across much of Europe, but knowledge of the mechanisms involved is limited, while the data collected here shed new light on the invasion biology of the species.

TL;DR: The results do not support the existence of population structuring within Lake Ohrid, even though samples included two putative intra-lacustrine forms, and recommend retaining the taxonomic epithet Salmo letnica for the endemic Ohrid trout.

TL;DR: A quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction-based environmental DNA (eDNA) approach to detect the presence of Proteus using water samples collected from karst springs, wells or caves is introduced and shows that the eDNA approach is suitable and efficient in addressing questions in biogeography, evolution, taxonomy and conservation of the cryptic subterranean fauna.
