“…The lakes are tiny-0.10 km 2 (ÖT) and 0.17 km 2 (VT), with depths of 1-2 m for the major parts of the area; maximum depths are 5 and 6 m for ÖT and VT, respectively. They are included in a long-term genetic monitoring study, the Lakes Bävervattnen Project, which focuses on spatio-temporal genetic variability patterns in natural populations of brown trout in a pristine, conserved landscape with virtually no direct human manipulation of local fish populations (Jorde and Ryman 1996;Laikre et al 1998;Palm and Ryman 1999;Palm et al 2003;Charlier et al 2011Charlier et al , 2012Palmé et al 2013). The study area is located c. 20 km from the nearest road and is reached only after a full day of hiking in partly harsh terrain.…”
