Abstract Non-invasive genetic approaches, particularly using fecal samples, are commonly used to study endangered and elusive species, as they are easy to collect with minimal permission and cause little disturbance to the subject population. However, such studies face limitations due to poor DNA yield, which affects the overall utilization of collected samples and increases data errors. Here, we evaluated the impact of sample age and collection season on the performance of DNA extracted from feces (spraints) of the Eurasian otter ( ), a semi-aquatic apex predator in South Korean freshwater ecosystems. We found that PCR amplification success rates decreased more rapidly in summer (79.3-58.2%) compared to winter (99.2-84.8%) with extended environmental exposure. Genotyping error rates were higher in samples collected during summer, with the rate of error increase over time being significantly greater in summer than in winter. The hot and humid South Korean summer fosters microbial growth and fecal degradation, which negatively impacts DNA yield, reducing PCR amplification success and increasing genotyping errors. We recommend collecting otter feces during winter for better DNA quality. If sampling in summer is unavoidable, it is crucial to collect fresh samples, which can be facilitated by conducting frequent surveys of latrine sites.

Non-invasive genetic approaches using fecal samples are valuable for studying endangered species, but they face challenges like poor DNA yield and increased data errors. This study evaluated the impact of sample age and season on DNA extracted from Eurasian otter spraints (feces) in South Korea. We found that PCR amplification success rates and genotyping accuracy decreased more rapidly in summer due to higher microbial growth and fecal degradation. Winter samples showed better DNA quality. We recommend collecting otter spraints in winter or, if summer sampling is necessary, using fresh samples from frequently monitored latrine sites.
