Will Lynx Lose Their Edge? Canada Lynx Occupancy in Washington

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2020
ABSTRACTPopulations of species located at southern range edges may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change as warming temperatures and subsequent changes to ecosystems exceed species‐specific tolerances. One such species is Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), a cold‐adapted mesocarnivore that maintains a large core population in Alaska ...

Wandering Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) in Kansas

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 2008
Historically, the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) ranged across Alaska, Canada, and the northern United States and south on the Rocky Mountains to Colorado and perhaps New Mexico (Hall 1981, Frey 2006). Boreal or boreomontane forest, especially areas supporting populations of the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus), is favored habitat of the species (Quinn ...

SARCOCYSTIS NEURONA-LIKE ENCEPHALITIS IN A CANADA LYNX (FELIS LYNX CANADENSIS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2000
A 13-yr-old female Canada lynx (Felis lynx canadensis) died after a short clinical illness, and necropsy revealed multifocal, nonsuppurative encephalitis with protozoal schizonts present in cerebral vascular endothelial cells. The schizonts stained immunohistochemically with antiserum to Sarcocystis neurona.

Patterns of testicular activity in captive and wild Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010
Canada lynx are listed as a threatened species in the contiguous US. Understanding the reproductive characteristics (i.e., mating system, behavior, physiology) of a species is useful for ensuring effective in situ and ex situ management plans. The goal of this study was to describe patterns of androgen expression in both captive and wild male Canada ...

Paint it black: first record of melanism in Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Mammalia, 2022
Abstract Variation in coat colour within mammal species is of enduring interest, likely because of its potential to be either adaptive or maladaptive. Coat colour in the genus Lynx tends to be stable, with little variation within species compared to that of other felids.

Patterns of ovarian and luteal activity in captive and wild Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010
Canada lynx face some unique breeding restrictions, which may have implications for population viability and captive management. The goal of this study was to improve our understanding of basic reproductive physiology in Canada lynx. Using fecal hormone metabolite analysis, we established normative patterns of fecal estrogen (fE) and progestagen (fP ...

PARASITES OF THE CANADA LYNX, FELIS (LYNX) CANADENSIS (KERR)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1966
Monopsyllus vison was collected from 1 of 19 lynxes examined for ectoparasites. Taenia laticollis and T. rileyi were the most frequent cestodes in 113 lynxes examined for endoparasites. Scoleces of T. pisiformis were often present in large numbers, but no segmented specimens were encountered. Scoleces of Multiceps sp. were found twice.

Comparative patterns of adrenal activity in captive and wild Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2011
Stress and animal well-being are often assessed using concentrations of glucocorticoids (GCs), a product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, GC concentrations can also be modulated by predictable events, such as changes in season or life history stage.

Landscape location affects genetic variation of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Molecular Ecology, 2003
AbstractThe effect of a population's location on the landscape on genetic variation has been of interest to population genetics for more than half a century. However, most studies do not consider broadscale biogeography when interpreting genetic data.
