PARASITES OF THE CANADA LYNX, FELIS (LYNX) CANADENSIS (KERR)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1966Monopsyllus 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, 2011Stress 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.

Isolation of peripheral populations of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2015Landscape barriers to gene flow, such as rivers, can affect animal populations by limiting the potential for rescue of these isolated populations. We tested the riverine barrier hypothesis, predicting that the St. Lawrence River in eastern Canada would cause genetic divergence of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792) populations by restricting ...

FATALCLOSTRIDIUM SEPTICUMMYONECROSIS IN A CAPTIVE CANADA LYNX (LYNX CANADENSIS)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2014A 1-yr-old female Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) presented for sudden onset of rapidly progressive bilateral pelvic limb paralysis. The lynx was chemically immobilized to perform a physical examination but expired shortly thereafter. On postmortem radiographs, there were myriad small irregular, round-to-spherical gas densities within the skeletal muscle

Fine-scale genetic structure and dispersal in Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) within Alberta, Canada
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2006Although mammals are typically characterized by male-biased dispersal, field studies of lynx conflict as to whether dispersal is male-biased or lacks sex-bias. To resolve this issue we dissect fine-scale genetic structure and analyze dispersal in regard to gender using 19 microsatellite loci, teemed with extensive sampling (n = 272 adults) of Canada ...

Journal of Parasitology, 2001
The seroprevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was investigated in trapped lynx (Lynx canadensis) and bobcats (Lynx rufus) from Québec, Canada. Forty-seven of 106 (44%) lynx and 4 of 10 (40%) bobcats had positive titers for T. gondii (> or = 25) by means of the modified agglutination test incorporating mercaptoethanol and formalin-fixed ...

Patterns of ovarian and luteal activity in captive and wild Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010Canada 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 ...

Recent Records of Canada Lynx in Wisconsin
Journal of Mammalogy, 1957There have been several recent occurrences of Lynx canadensis in Wisconsin, none of which has apparently been reported. The latest specimen was shot on December 16, 1955, in Rusk County by Glen Kresick of Ingram, Wisconsin. The lynx was killed about two miles north of Ingram in Sec. 1, T. 35 N, R. 4 W. The last …

Toxoplasma gondii, one of the more common zoonotic parasites in the world, can cause serious illness in humans and other animals worldwide. Felids are the only known host that can shed T. gondii oocysts, which are essential to the perpetuation of the parasite.

GEOGRAPHICGRADIENTS IN DIET AFFECT POPULATION DYNAMICS OF CANADA LYNX
Ecology, 2007Geographical gradients in the stability of cyclic populations of herbivores and their predators may relate to the degree of specialization of predators. However, such changes are usually associated with transition from specialist to generalist predator species, rather than from geographical variation in dietary breadth of specialist predators.
