Research interest
I am interested in population dynamics and feeding ecology of Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra). My principal interest is in the use of genetic techniques, especially the use of a non-invasive DNA typing method to estimate numbers and population structure of otters. Research activities include testing and optimisation of the methodology, the study of genetic variability and population genetic structure, and DNA typing of spraints (otter faeces) to identify different individuals, their sex, and relatedness. Further, my research also includes studies on otter diet as related to fish productivity in oligothrophic streams.
