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 ...

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 ...

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.

Seven decades of southern range dynamics of Canada lynx
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The range of the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) has contracted substantially from its historical range. Using harvest records, we found that the southern range of the lynx in Ontario in the late 1940s collapsed and then, in a short period of time ...

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.
