Abstract

Nineteen microsatellite loci developed for the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and 15 loci developed

for the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) were tested for ease of amplification

and degree of polymorphism on a set of 20 giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) faecal samples

from the Bolivian Amazon basin. Nineteen loci amplified consistently well, with polymorphisms

ranging from two to nine alleles and observed heterozygosity ranging from

0.15 to 0.85.
