Genetic diversity and landscape genetic structure of otter (Lutra lutra) populations in Europe (2010, background): “Strict protection led some otter populations to expand and recover naturally (Kruuk 2006).”
Competition for the fish – fish extraction from the Baltic Sea by humans, aquatic mammals, and birds (2018, neutral): “Otter (Nolet and Kruuk, 1994; Kruuk, 2006) and harbour porpoise (Lockyer, 2003; Lockyer et al., 2003) are assumed to feed only on fish and have annual individual consumptions of 440 and 1450 kg respectively.”
The reintroduction of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) into the Netherlands: hidden life revealed by noninvasive genetic monitoring (2010, background): “Descriptive field studies suggest that the social system of Eurasian otters consists of female territories and independent, larger male territories (Erlinge 1968; Kruuk 2006).”
An evaluation of field and noninvasive genetic methods for estimating Eurasian otter population size (2009, background): “Such a high density may have been caused by the fact that these animals were feeding in the nearby sea, not only in the streams (Kruuk 2006) or, as Hung et al.”
The accuracy of scat identification in distribution surveys: American mink, Neovison vison, in the northern highlands of Scotland (2010, background): “1997; Strachan 2007) reported a low incidence of mink signs in the north of Scotland, but because survey protocol dictated that the search of a particular site was terminated when otter sign was located, it is possible that mink sign went unobserved (this is particularly likely in areas such as the ”
