Identification of a Novel Gammaherpesvirus in Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 Gammaherpesviruses (GHVs) infect many animal species and are associated with lymphoproliferative disorders in some. Previously, we identified several novel GHVs in North American felids; however, a GHV had never been identified in Canada lynx (Lynx ...

Improved prediction of Canada lynx distribution through regional model transferability and data efficiency [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The application of species distribution models (SDMs) to areas outside of where a model was created allows informed decisions across large spatial scales, yet transferability remains a challenge in ecological modeling.

Seven decades of southern range dynamics of Canada lynx [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The range of the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) has contracted substantially from its historical range. Using harvest records, we found that the southern range of the lynx in Ontario in the late 1940s collapsed and then, in a short period of time ...

Fine‐scale habitat selection by sympatric Canada lynx and bobcat [PDF]
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.

Reconsidering the Specialist-Generalist Paradigm in Niche Breadth Dynamics: Resource Gradient Selection by Canada Lynx and Bobcat [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The long-standing view in ecology is that disparity in overall resource selection is the basis for identifying niche breadth patterns, with species having narrow selection being classified "specialists" and those with broader selection being "generalists"

A test of somatic mosaicism in the androgen receptor gene of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis). [PDF]
BMC Genet, 2015 The androgen receptor, an X-linked gene, has been widely studied in human populations because it contains highly polymorphic trinucleotide repeat motifs that have been associated with a number of adverse human health and behavioral effects. A previous study on the androgen receptor gene in carnivores reported somatic mosaicism in the tissues of a ...

Habitat overlap of Canada lynx and sympatric mesopredators increases following cyclical reduction in primary prey [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn multi-predator systems, niche expansion may increase habitat overlap among species and the potential for competitive or predatory interactions. The strength of those interactions is likely mediated by cyclic changes in prey availability.
