Using information theory to select spatial scales for species-habitat responses with camera traps. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Widespread anthropogenic landscape change, particularly from energy development, has fundamentally reshaped ecosystems, and understanding species responses remains a central ecological challenge. Remote camera traps are widely used to estimate mammal abundance and distribution, but inferring species–habitat relationships from these data is ...

Habitat loss, not fragmentation, drives occurrence patterns of Canada lynx at the southern range periphery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Peripheral populations often experience more extreme environmental conditions than those in the centre of a species' range. Such extreme conditions include habitat loss, defined as a reduction in the amount of suitable habitat, as well as habitat ...

Temperature driven density gradients of two congeneric felids reveal contrasting responses to climate change at a range margin [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Climate change causes divergent range shifts in cold versus warm-tolerant species, potentially reshuffling biotic interactions at range margins. Yet, outside of coarse distributional metrics, little information exists regarding the ecology of species ...

Characterization of basal seminal traits and semen cryopreservation in Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
Little is known about the reproductive biology of the Canada lynx; virtually no data are available describing seminal parameters in this species and sperm cryopreservation studies have not been performed. Our aims were to 1) evaluate effectiveness of two

Stabilizing selection and mitochondrial heteroplasmy in the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Genome
Mitochondrial DNA is commonly used in population genetic studies to investigate spatial structure, intraspecific variation, and phylogenetic relationships. The control region is the most rapidly evolving and largest non-coding region, but its analysis can be complicated by heteroplasmic signals of genome duplication in many mammals, including felids ...

Modeling habitat potential for Canada lynx in Michigan

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Abstract In the ruling to list Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis ) as a federally threatened species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) identified the Great Lakes region as an area that historically contained lynx and, hence, could potentially contribute to population ...

Patterns of dietary niche breadth and overlap are maintained for two closely related carnivores across broad geographic scales

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological studies investigating niche breadth and overlap often have limited spatial and temporal scale, preventing generalizations across varying environments and communities.

Oral Papillomatosis in Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007
We observed 11 cases of oral papillomatosis among 48 free-ranging Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) that had been shipped to Colorado for translocation purposes. Lesions were 1-3 mm, multifocal, nonpigmented sessile masses and occurred on the ventral lingual surface. Adverse clinical signs were not observed.

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.
