Status and distribution of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx L.) in Slovenia in 2000–2004 and comparison with the years 1995–1999

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2006
We have analysed recorded signs of lynx presence in Slovenia for the period 2000 – 2004 and compared them with the 1995 – 1999 period to determine population status, trends and range.

Head Trauma in the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx dinniki)

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae
Background: The Eurasian Lynx lynx dinniki is in danger of extinction in Iran and Turkey. Many wild animals are injured in traffic accidents every year. Head trauma is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in small animals. To ensure the best outcome in such patients, a rapid diagnosis should be made and early treatment should be started.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

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 ...

From Nouns and Adjectives to Verbs: Base Effects on the Grammatical Behaviour of Denominal Verbs in Ancient Greek1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the role of semantic features of noun and adjective bases in determining the grammatical behaviour of Ancient Greek denominal and deadjectival verbs in *‐ye/o‐. The paper adopts a lexicalist framework (Rappaport Hovav & Levin 1998) and examines how the event schema, actionality, telicity and voice of derived verbs are ...

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Spatial Dynamic and Ecology of a Male Eurasian Lynx, Lynx lynx (Carnivora, Felidae), in Volyn Polissia, Ukraine: First GPS-GSM Telemetry Findings

Zoodiversity
In landscapes affected by human activity, understanding the spatial dynamics, predation behaviour and habitat preferences of large carnivores is essential for developing effective conservation strategies.

Mitigating Human–Large Carnivore Conflicts via Time‐Regulated Management of Free‐Ranging Livestock in the Sanjiangyuan Region, China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the comprehensive workflow of our study, from the deployment of infrared cameras at sites with high activity of four large carnivores, through data collection and assessment of activity patterns, to the prediction of time periods with potential human–large carnivore conflicts and the proposal of corresponding ...

Anticoagulant Rodenticides Contribute to a Decline in an Urban Carnivore

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been shown to negatively affect carnivores globally and are closely tied to human activity and development. We examined drivers of annual survival in bobcats persisting on a residentially developed barrier island over 16 years.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...
