摘要: Population size of European otters (Lutra lutra) was estimated in Pollino National Park (southern Italy) by genetic typing fresh feces collected the field. Of 187 fecal samples gathered, 185 (98.9%) yielded otter DNA, 77 (41.2%) were successfully typed, and 23 different genotypes identified. A nonlinear regression between number typed spraints cumulative identified repeated after randomization sample until it gave an population 34‐37 animals (0.18‐0.20 otters/km watercourse). The applied method represents a valuable conservation tool, combining advantages indirect survey with accuracy exhaustive census.
