Large-scale genetic structuring of a widely distributed carnivore--the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Over the last decades the phylogeography and genetic structure of a multitude of species inhabiting Europe and North America have been described. The flora and fauna of the vast landmasses of north-eastern Eurasia are still largely unexplored in this ...

New insights into the distribution of cardio-pulmonary nematodes in road-killed wild felids from Romania

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The population of wild felids is large and stable in Romania with many carnivore habitats being protected. Felids can be infected with a wide variety of cardio-pulmonary nematodes and can act as reservoirs of infection for domestic cats.

Livestock Depredations and Prevention Strategies to Foster Human‐Carnivore Coexistence in Western Mongolia's High Mountain Systems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The implementation of visual deterrents (i.e., Foxlights) proved to be effective in reducing the number of night‐time livestock depredations by both snow leopards and wolves. ABSTRACT The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation.

Habitat fragmentation and amount drive within‐species variation in dispersal kernels and limit transferability across landscapes

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Dispersal is a key ecological trait that ensures connectivity, gene flow, and range dynamics, yet empirical information about how dispersal distances vary within species remains scarce. Many studies, investigating for instance connectivity conservation, use typical species‐specific dispersal kernels without accounting for the fact that these kernels ...

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings. Abstract Anthropogenic

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...

Orthopoxvirus DNA in Eurasian Lynx, Sweden

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Cowpox virus, which has been used to protect humans against smallpox but may cause severe disease in immunocompromised persons, has reemerged in humans, domestic cats, and other animal species in Europe. Orthopoxvirus (OPV) DNA was detected in tissues (lung, kidney, spleen) in 24 (9%) of 263 free-ranging Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from Sweden. Thymidine

Combining Disparate Camera‐Trap Surveys: Impacts of Spatial Bias and Design Variation on Large‐Scale Ecological Inference

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Combining camera trap data from multiple surveys has the potential to address large‐scale ecological and conservation questions. But individual surveys can differ substantially in study design and, at the large scale, these surveys typically do not constitute a spatially representative sample.
