The genetic structure of animal populations is influenced by, among other factors, dispersal and relatedness. Limited dispersal may cause local spatial restrictions in gene flow, which can have important management and conservation implications. We used radiotracking and genetic data to verify the existence of a spatial structure in relatedness within a resident native Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) population at...
Background: Despite the increasing worldwide use of global positioning system (GPS) telemetry in wildlife research, it has never been tested on any freshwater diving animal or in the peculiar conditions of the riparian habitat, despite this latter being one of the most important habitat types for many animal taxa. Moreover, in most cases, the GPS devices used have been commercial and expensive, limiting their u...
