Patterns of dietary niche breadth and overlap are maintained for two closely related carnivores across broad geographic scales

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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

open access: yesCanadian field-naturalist, 2021
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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
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.

Canada lynx foraging strategies: Facultative specialists become obligate generalists toward the distribution edge

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
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.

Long-term monitoring in the boreal forest reveals high spatio-temporal variability among primary ecosystem constituents

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The boreal forest, the world’s largest terrestrial biome, is undergoing dramatic changes owing to anthropogenic stressors, including those of climate change.

Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
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.

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...

Habitat loss, not fragmentation, drives occurrence patterns of Canada lynx at the southern range periphery. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...
