Ecological studies investigating niche breadth and overlap often have limited spatial and temporal scale, preventing generalizations across varying environments and communities.

What next? Rewilding as a radical future for the British countryside [PDF]
Rewilding is an optimistic environmental agenda to reverse the loss of biodiversity and reconnect society with nature. This chapter explores Britain’s ecological history, back to the Last Interglacial before the arrival of modern humans, when the climate

Behavioural interactions among Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) during pre-estrous
Information is lacking on the behaviour of free-roaming Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) during the breeding season, likely because they are rarely observed in the wild.

Fine‐scale habitat selection by sympatric Canada lynx and bobcat
The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) and the bobcat (Lynx rufus) are closely related species with overlap at their range peripheries, but the factors that limit each species and the interactions between them are not well understood.

Spatial and temporal variation in prey availability can affect predator foraging strategies, but it is unclear how large‐scale gradients in prey availability shape predator diets in space and time.

Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems [PDF]
In population dynamics, mathematical models often contain too many parameters to be easily testable. A way to reliably estimate parameters for a broad range of systems would help us obtain clearer predictions from theory.

Density estimates for Canada lynx vary among estimation methods
Unbiased population density estimates are critical for ecological research and wildlife management but are often difficult to obtain. Researchers use a variety of sampling and statistical methods to generate estimates of density, but few studies have ...

Missing lynx and trophic cascades in food webs: A reply to Ripple et al.
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 ...

Habitat loss, not fragmentation, drives occurrence patterns of Canada lynx at the southern range periphery. [PDF]
Peripheral populations often experience more extreme environmental conditions than those in the centre of a species' range. Such extreme conditions include habitat loss, defined as a reduction in the amount of suitable habitat, as well as habitat ...
