Camera trap-based estimates reveal spatial variability in African clawless otter population densities and behaviour by Candice B. Lewis, Tshepiso L. Majelantle, Natalie S. Haussmann, Trevor McIntyre

“…Our camera-trap distance sampling estimates supported the relative density estimates obtained from random encounter models but were generally lower and more variable, ranging from 0.8 to 4.0 otters/km2. We found significant differences in otter activity patterns, with populations either being nocturnal, mostly nocturnal or cathemeral. …”
