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 ...

Landscape connectivity for bobcat (Lynx rufus) and lynx (Lynx canadensis) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Landscape connectivity is integral to the persistence of metapopulations of wide ranging carnivores and other terrestrial species. The objectives of this research were to investigate the landscape characteristics essential to use of areas by lynx and ...

Lynx canadensis (Carnivora: Felidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2019 Abstract Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792, commonly called the Canada lynx, is a medium size felid and is the second largest of the four species in the genus Lynx. It is distributed throughout the boreal forest of most of Canada and Alaska and across portions of the northern United States.

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

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 ...

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

Molecular survey of taeniid cestodes with special emphasis on Echinococcus species in free-roaming dogs and wild carnivores in Armenia [PDF]
ParasitologyEchinococcosis, caused by cestodes of the genus Echinococcus, poses significant public health and veterinary concerns globally. In Armenia, cystic echinococcosis (CE) is well-documented in livestock and humans, while alveolar echinococcosis (AE) has long

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.
