Habitat selection of Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) in urban rivers: the effects of urbanization, water quality, and river structure

2023-11-15

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>This study was motivated by the increasing presence of Eurasian otters (<italic>Lutra lutra</italic>) in densely populated urban areas despite their well-known susceptibility to urbanization.
