3.5.2 Ne indicator
We apply the N e indicator (Figure 2, 3) using ourN eV estimates that are larger than theN eLD estimates (Ryman et al. 2019; Table S7). One
population (Population 2 in Hotagen 4) was classified as “Alarm”
(N eV<50) due to the lowN eV of 46 (Figure 7a). A total of 19 populations
distributed over four metapopulations were classified as “Warning”
(N eV=56-470; Table S7, Figure 7a), and nine
populations had an effective population size
(N eV) of >500 and were classified as
“Good”. For ten full systems (eight metapopulations and the two
independent lakes) six are below 500 and thus show “Warning”
(N eV=65-428), while four systems showN eV≥500 (605-∞) and thus status “Good” (Figure
7b).
