Mice Infected with Low-virulence Strains of Toxoplasma gondii Lose their Innate Aversion to Cat Urine, Even after Extensive Parasite Clearance [PDF]
, 2013 Toxoplasma gondii chronic infection in rodent secondary hosts has been reported to lead to a loss of innate, hard-wired fear toward cats, its primary host. However the generality of this response across T.

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.

Drought and coyotes mediate mesopredator response to human disturbance
Ecosphere, 2022 Mesopredators in western North America are facing major changes to their ecosystems, including drought and the expansion of human disturbance. To balance resource needs and risk‐taking on the landscape, mesopredators are likely to shift their habitat use

An evaluation of hunter surveys to monitor relative abundance of bobcats
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 We examined the utility of bobcat (Lynx rufus) detections by deer hunters in New Hampshire, USA, as an index of relative abundance. To validate the index, we compared the number of hunter outings that detected bobcats per 1,000 outings (hunting seasons ...
