Fine‐scale habitat selection by sympatric Canada lynx and bobcat

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) and the bobcat (Lynx rufus) are closely related species with overlap at their range peripheries, but the factors that limit each species and the interactions between them are not well understood.

Spatial segregation and habitat partitioning of bobcat and Canada lynx

FACETS, 2020
Harvest records suggest that the abundance of bobcats (Lynx rufus) has increased and the leading edge of their distribution has spread northward, while the trailing edge of the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) range has contracted in Ontario, Canada.

Identification, abundance, and behavior of North American bobcat (Lynx rufus) along road mitigation structures designed for endangered species in South Texas

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Endangered species are increasingly used as the target species in implementing and constructing new wildlife crossing structures (WCS). Highways in South Texas fragment the landscape and result in high road mortality for endangered species such as ...

Does the virus cross the road? Viral phylogeographic patterns among bobcat populations reflect a history of urban development

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
Urban development has major impacts on connectivity among wildlife populations and is thus likely an important factor shaping pathogen transmission in wildlife.

Niche partitioning of bobcat and Canada lynx near their distribution contact zone

FACETS
Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) are keystone predators. However, contact with congenerics, like the bobcat (Lynx rufus), could alter lynx trophic ecology and destabilize boreal food webs.

BOBCAT: Bilevel Optimization-Based Computerized Adaptive Testing [PDF]

International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) refers to a form of tests that are personalized to every student/test taker. CAT methods adaptively select the next most informative question/item for each student given their responses to previous questions ...

DNA virome composition of two sympatric wild felids, bobcat (Lynx rufus) and puma (Puma concolor) in Sonora, Mexico

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
With viruses often having devastating effects on wildlife population fitness and wild mammals serving as pathogen reservoirs for potentially zoonotic diseases, determining the viral diversity present in wild mammals is both a conservation and One Health ...

Density and activity patterns of bobcat in its southernmost distribution

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2022
Estimating density and activity patterns is useful for management and conservation of species. Data for Mexican bobcat (Lynx rufus) populations are scarce. Here we estimated the density of a bobcat population in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, and evaluated its
