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.

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 ...

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

Hunter selection for larger and older male bobcats affects annual harvest demography [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Wildlife researchers often rely on demographic data collected from harvested animals to estimate population dynamics. But demographic data from harvested animals may be non-representative if hunters/trappers have the ability and motivation to ...
