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

open access: yesGeneral 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)

open access: yesMammalia, 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)

open access: yesGeneral 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 ...

SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII INFECTION IN CANADIAN LYNX (LYNX CANADENSIS) IN WESTERN QUÉBEC, CANADA

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2013
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.

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 ...
