IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 37(C) 2020 B I B L I O G R A P H Y A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE EURASIAN OTTER Lutra lutra Victor L. Camp The Water School Department of Ecology & Environmental Studies Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft. Myers, FL USA e-mails: [email protected] or [email protected] Citation: Camp, V.L. (2020). A Bibliography on the Eurasian Otter Lutra lutra. IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 37 (C): 3 - 95 INTRODUCTION While attempting to search for behavior publications on the Eurasian otter (Lutra Lutra), for a comparison with the North America river otter Lontra canadensis and the Neotropical otter Lontra longicaudis, it quickly became apparent an updated bibliography on this species did not exist. Therefore, it was decided to compile this bibliography on the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra). The bibliography was compiled for (1) those undergraduates and graduates searching for publications relative to a potential research project on the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra), (2) for independent scientists, with an interest in the Eurasian otter, who do not have access to a library at a major university, and (3) for those scientists planning to expand their scientific investigations on the Eurasian otter. The citations for this bibliography were acquired from numerous sources. The initial citation sources were (1) the Mercier (2007) publication “Bibliographie sur la Lutra d’Europe Lutra lutra and (2) the Lafontaine, et al. (2014) publication “Bibliographie French Otter (Eurasia- Africa-America). Update April 21, 2014-Version #149. Additional citations, for the years 2014 through 2020 , were located on the internet using key words and the year of interest, e.g. “Lutra lutra 2014” or “otter Lutra lutra 2014. Throughout these internet searches an extensive amount of publications were uncovered well prior to 2014. Many of these publications filled the gaps in Mercier’s and Lafontaine’s bibliographies and greatly expanded the number of citations for inclusion in this bibliography. One of the most valuable resources used is the IUCN Otter Specialist Group Bulletin (IUCN OSGB) from 1986- 2020. The citations from the volumes and the volume issues of the Otter Specialist Group Bulletin (OSGB) 1986- 2020 were reviewed and these citations were included. The “Literature” section of the issues of each of the OSGB volumes was investigated and these citations are included. Publications by Otter Specialist Group, prior to 1986 were also located and included. The literature search was conducted through August 2020. A conscious decision was made regarding inclusion of articles in this bibliography. The titles of those articles, that did not contain a direct reference to otters or did not include the scientific name or made reference to the Eurasian or European otter, were not included. Those articles containing the common name, in the language of publication, were included. Blogs and hyperlinks, linking the reader to the article, were not included. Blogs are not scientific publications and hyperlinks are unreliable over the long-term. This author has found that internet searches using the entire content of a publication or just the title is a very dependable literature search - 3 - IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 37(C) 2020 methodology. Many citations from Lafontaine (2014) are reports to or from governmental agencies or consultants to governmental agencies and were not published in recognized scientific publications. As a result, these publications could not be confirmed through the internet. Each of these particular publications are accompanied by a parenthetical note defining the citation account content(s) that could not be confirmed, interpreted, or translated. Gaining access to these unpublished reports is left to the ingenuity of other investigators. Many of the publications required translation. Google Translate was used for article translation. All translations are italicized and enclosed within brackets. Other citation contents appearing in italics are scientific names, within or outside of parentheses, titles of books, and the name of the scientific publication. It is hoped this bibliography will serve as a useful resource for the future. REFERENCES Lafontaine, et al. (2014). Bibliographie French Otter (Eurasia- Africa-America).

    MACEDONIA th th 27 - 28 October 2013 www.bargainbirdingclub.com “Value for money bird watching trips for birders on a budget” Introduction: Macedonia is a geographical and historical region of Greece in the southern Balkans (not to be confused with the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia just over the border). Macedonia is the largest and second most populous Greek region and alongside Thrace, Thessaly and Epirus, is collectively referred to as ‘Northern Greece’ (hence the title of the book by Steve Mills ‘Birding in Northern Greece’, which covers this area in great detail.) The region incorporates most of the territories of ancient Macedon, a kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II. We concentrated our birding on Lake Kerkini in the north of the region near the Bulgarian border, and Angelohori Lagoon, just south of Thessaloniki. Itinerary: Sunday 27th October 2013 Fly London Gatwick toThessaloniki with easyJet Pick up hire car and self-bird Angelohori Lagoon and saltpans o/n Holiday Inn, Thessaloniki Mon. 28th Oct. 2013: Drive to Kerkini to meet guide Guided birding around Lake Kerkini o/n Holiday Inn, Thessaloniki Tues. 29th Oct. 2013: Drive to Kerkini to meet guide Guided birding in foothills of Kerkini (Belles) Mountains o/n Holiday Inn, Thessaloniki Wed. 30th Oct. 2013: Early morning repeat visit to Angelohori Lagoon Drop off hire car Fly Thessaloniki to London Gatwick with easyJet “Value for money bird watching trips for birders on a budget” Sunday 27th October 2013 An early (06.55hrs) Easyjet flight from Gatwick saw us land at Thessaloniki at 12.10pm local time.

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:203 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/203 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A new xinjiangchelyid turtle from the Middle Jurassic of Xinjiang, China and the evolution of the basipterygoid process in Mesozoic turtles Márton Rabi1,2*, Chang-Fu Zhou3, Oliver Wings4, Sun Ge3 and Walter G Joyce1,5 Abstract Background: Most turtles from the Middle and Late Jurassic of Asia are referred to the newly defined clade Xinjiangchelyidae, a group of mostly shell-based, generalized, small to mid-sized aquatic froms that are widely considered to represent the stem lineage of Cryptodira. Xinjiangchelyids provide us with great insights into the plesiomorphic anatomy of crown-cryptodires, the most diverse group of living turtles, and they are particularly relevant for understanding the origin and early divergence of the primary clades of extant turtles. Results: Exceptionally complete new xinjiangchelyid material from the ?Qigu Formation of the Turpan Basin (Xinjiang Autonomous Province, China) provides new insights into the anatomy of this group and is assigned to Xinjiangchelys wusu n. sp. A phylogenetic analysis places Xinjiangchelys wusu n. sp. in a monophyletic polytomy with other xinjiangchelyids, including Xinjiangchelys junggarensis, X. radiplicatoides, X. levensis and X. latiens. However, the analysis supports the unorthodox, though tentative placement of xinjiangchelyids and sinemydids outside of crown-group Testudines. A particularly interesting new observation is that the skull of this xinjiangchelyid retains such primitive features as a reduced interpterygoid vacuity and basipterygoid processes.

    Citizens Summary

    Annual Implementation Report 2019 CITIZENS’ SUMMARY The Annual Implementation Report of the Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhine programme (Interreg EMR) for 2019 provides detailed insight into the programme’s activities between 1 January and 31 December 2019. This Citizens’ Summary presents key points and highlights from the year. The European Union strives to reduce disparities in the levels of development, growth and quality of life in and across Europe’s regions. Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhine contributes directly to this objective by supporting cross-border collaboration between the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Cross-Border Cooperation in Areas and Numbers In 2019, 37 cooperation projects saw 250 partners in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium work on shared goals and building long-lasting networks and partnerships. The European Union invests EUR 96 million from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) into cross-border projects in our region from 2014- 2020. Furthermore, EUR 44 million are envisioned to be invested in Interreg EMR projects by other means of funding (e.g. regional or private funding) within the programme period. Until the end of 2019, almost EUR 78.5 million of the European Union funding have been committed. The remaining 18% will be available during calls for projects in 2020. Objectives of Interreg EMR The objectives of Interreg EMR are to support innovative ideas, boost the economy, support educational projects and as well as removing barriers between the three countries. We aim to create a favourable cross-border atmosphere, to encourage people to seek and also build business opportunities and other forms of cooperation beyond their national limitations.

Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:575 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2514-9 RESEARCH Open Access Updated molecular phylogenetic data for Opisthorchis spp. (Trematoda: Opisthorchioidea) from ducks in Vietnam Thanh Thi Ha Dao1,2,3, Thanh Thi Giang Nguyen1,2, Sarah Gabriël4, Khanh Linh Bui5, Pierre Dorny2,3* and Thanh Hoa Le6 Abstract Background: An opisthorchiid liver fluke was recently reported from ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) in Binh Dinh Province of Central Vietnam, and referred to as “Opisthorchis viverrini-like”. This species uses common cyprinoid fishes as second intermediate hosts as does Opisthorchis viverrini, with which it is sympatric in this province. In this study, we refer to the liver fluke from ducks as “Opisthorchis sp. BD2013”, and provide new sequence data from the mitochondrial (mt) genome and the nuclear ribosomal transcription unit. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted to clarify the basal taxonomic position of this species from ducks within the genus Opisthorchis (Digenea: Opisthorchiidae). Methods: Adults and eggs of liver flukes were collected from ducks, metacercariae from fishes (Puntius brevis, Rasbora aurotaenia, Esomus metallicus) and cercariae from snails (Bithynia funiculata) in different localities in Binh Dinh Province. From four developmental life stage samples (adults, eggs, metacercariae and cercariae), the complete cytochrome b (cob), nicotinamide dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) genes, and near-complete 18S and partial 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences were obtained by PCR-coupled sequencing. The alignments of nucleotide sequences of concatenated cob + nad1+cox1, and of concatenated 18S + 28S were separately subjected to phylogenetic analyses. Homologous sequences from other trematode species were included in each alignment.
