Missing lynx and trophic cascades in food webs: A reply to Ripple et al.
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Ripple et al. (2011) proposed a hypothesis that the recovery of gray wolves (Canis lupus) may positively affect the viability of threatened Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) populations in the contiguous United States through indirect species interactions ...

Exposure to selected pathogens in Geoffroy's cats and domestic carnivores from central Argentina [PDF]
, 2012 Wild carnivores share a high percentage of parasites and viruses with closely related domestic carnivores. Because of increased overlap and potential contact with domestic species, we conducted a retrospective serosurvey for 11 common carnivore pathogens

SiMPL Wildlife Magnets: A Camera Trap Tool for Detecting All Creatures Great and Small. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe SiMPL wildlife magnet offers an affordable, non‐invasive solution for passive wildlife monitoring of a diverse array of large and small mammals. Our case study in the White Mountains of New Hampshire demonstrates the tool's effectiveness in enhancing species diversity captured within a community using remote cameras.

Better Representation Is Needed in U.S. Endangered Species Act Implementation
Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021 In the United States, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses the concepts of resilience, redundancy, and representation—often known as the “3Rs”—to guide implementation of the Endangered Species Act, which requires the U.S.

SPICES II. Optical and Near-Infrared Identifications of Faint X-Ray Sources from Deep Chandra Observations of Lynx [PDF]
, 2002 We present our first results on field X-ray sources detected in a deep, 184.7 ks observation with the ACIS-I camera on Chandra. The observations target the Lynx field of SPICES, and contains three known X-ray-emitting clusters out to z=1.27.
