Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Exploratory Laparotomy in a Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2010
The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an innovative regional anesthetic technique using local anesthetic that is gaining popularity in the analgesic management of human patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Needle placement in the TAP block is within the facial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles and involves ...

Lynx (Lynx canadensis)

2014
In the late 1990s, my husband Steve and I spent a year planning the construction of a writing cabin for me in a remote corner of our Montana land, where we live. While all I wanted was a modest cabin, the project quickly became complicated and expensive. This prompted us to consider other options.

Isolation of peripheral populations of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2015
Landscape barriers to gene flow, such as rivers, can affect animal populations by limiting the potential for rescue of these isolated populations. We tested the riverine barrier hypothesis, predicting that the St. Lawrence River in eastern Canada would cause genetic divergence of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792) populations by restricting ...

Comparative patterns of adrenal activity in captive and wild Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 2011
Stress and animal well-being are often assessed using concentrations of glucocorticoids (GCs), a product of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, GC concentrations can also be modulated by predictable events, such as changes in season or life history stage.

FATALCLOSTRIDIUM SEPTICUMMYONECROSIS IN A CAPTIVE CANADA LYNX (LYNX CANADENSIS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2014
A 1-yr-old female Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) presented for sudden onset of rapidly progressive bilateral pelvic limb paralysis. The lynx was chemically immobilized to perform a physical examination but expired shortly thereafter. On postmortem radiographs, there were myriad small irregular, round-to-spherical gas densities within the skeletal muscle

Patterns of ovarian and luteal activity in captive and wild Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010
Canada lynx face some unique breeding restrictions, which may have implications for population viability and captive management. The goal of this study was to improve our understanding of basic reproductive physiology in Canada lynx. Using fecal hormone metabolite analysis, we established normative patterns of fecal estrogen (fE) and progestagen (fP ...

Seroprevalence of Antibodies toToxoplasma gondiiin Lynx (Lynx canadensis) and Bobcats (Lynx rufus) From Québec, Canada

Journal of Parasitology, 2001
The seroprevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii was investigated in trapped lynx (Lynx canadensis) and bobcats (Lynx rufus) from Québec, Canada. Forty-seven of 106 (44%) lynx and 4 of 10 (40%) bobcats had positive titers for T. gondii (> or = 25) by means of the modified agglutination test incorporating mercaptoethanol and formalin-fixed ...

The ecology of the lynx (Lynx canadensis) on Cape Breton Island

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1983
Recruitment of lynx (Lynx canadensis) on Cape Breton Island declined from 1977–1978 through 1979–1980 concurrent with a decrease in snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) densities. Suppressed recruitment resulted from a decline in pregnancy rates, especially in the yearling cohort, and increased mortality of kits during the first 6 months of life. Snowshoe

SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII INFECTION IN CANADIAN LYNX (LYNX CANADENSIS) IN WESTERN QUÉBEC, CANADA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2013
Toxoplasma gondii, one of the more common zoonotic parasites in the world, can cause serious illness in humans and other animals worldwide. Felids are the only known host that can shed T. gondii oocysts, which are essential to the perpetuation of the parasite.
