Letter to the Editor

Abstract

Comments on the report regarding the case “First record of the neotropical otter Lontra longicaudis annectens (Carnivora, Mustelidae) in the estuary Boca Negra, Jalisco, Mexico: an approach to understanding its diet” from Rodriguez-Uribe, Rubio-Padilla and Navarro-Rodriguez (2015). Even though the note from Rodriguez-Uribe and collaborators is retracted from the journal, I hereby present comments to their work. The authors cite in their case report that they registered the presence of the Neotropical otter, Lontra longicaudis annectens, in the estuary Boca Negra, Jalisco. The authors comment that they observed the species on March 15th 2014 at 10:00 hours and also in the beginning of April of that same year; nevertheless, they do not establish the number of individuals they counted, they only define that they observed the “species”, neither do they state if in the second sighting they saw the same specimen or specimens.
