Estimation of census and effective population sizes: the increasing usefulness of DNA-based approaches (2010, methodology): “For example, Solberg et al. (2006) used the brown bear in south- central Sweden to compare three different methods of estimating NC, including methods based on traditional demographic data as well as on non-invasive genetic data.”
An eDNA approach to detect eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus a. alleganiensis) using samples of water (2012, unknown): “For example, non-invasive genetic sampling has been used in the context of conservation and management to describe population sizes (Solberg et al. 2006; Sawaya et al. 2012), dispersal (Valière et al.”
Counting elusive animals: Comparing field and genetic census of the entire mountain gorilla population of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda (2009, background): “When the re-sampling rate is high enough (approximately three samples are collected for every assumed individual (Miller et al., 2005; Solberg et al., 2006; Puechmaille and Petit, 2007)), the confidence intervals for population size estimates provided by genetic mark-recapture approach will be ver”
Empirical evaluation of non‐invasive capture–mark–recapture estimation of population size based on a single sampling session (2007, result): “Thus, in agreement with other studies (Miller, Joyce & Waits 2005; Solberg et al. 2006), and when the information is available, the number of samples collected”
Estimating population size and trends of the Swedish brown bear Ursus arctos population (2011, methodology): “Counties with DNA-based estimates The counties of Dalarna and Gävleborg were surveyed in 2001 and 2002 to evaluate the technique and were followed by Västernorrland and Västerbotten in 2004 and Jämtland in 2006 (Bellemain et al. 2005, Solberg et al. 2006).”
An evaluation of field and noninvasive genetic methods for estimating Eurasian otter population size (2009, methodology): “There has been, however, no evaluation of existing studies and methods for otters as yet, though such reviews have been found very useful for other species, such as bears (Paetkau 2003; Bellemain et al. 2005; Solberg et al. 2006 ).”
Genetics and conservation of European brown bears Ursus arctos (2011, background): “A much larger proportion of the population can potentially be surveyed, usually at a lower cost than by using traditional field methods (Solberg et al. 2006).”
Terrain use by an expanding brown bear population in relation to age, recreational resorts and human settlements (2007, background): “Bear density is estimated at ca. 30 bears per 1000 km2 (Bellemain et al., 2005; Solberg et al., 2006 ).”
