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.

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

Frontiers 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.

Dining with a glutton: an intraguild interaction between scavenging wolverine (Gulo gulo) and lynx (Lynx canadensis)

Ecosphere, 2023
Intraspecific interactions between mesocarnivores are not commonly observed and consequentially not well understood, particularly for species inhabiting wilderness regions.

Fine‐scale habitat selection by sympatric Canada lynx and bobcat

Ecology 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

Ecosphere, 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

Frontiers 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.

Plague as a Mortality Factor in Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) Reintroduced to Colorado [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2006
As part of a species recovery program, 129 Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) originating from British Columbia, the Yukon, Manitoba, and Quebec, Canada, and Alaska, USA, were reintroduced to southwestern Colorado, USA, from 1999 to 2003. Of 52 lynx mortalities documented by October 2003, six lynx, including a female and her 5-mo-old kitten, had evidence of

Behavioural interactions among Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) during pre-estrous

, 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.

Density estimates for Canada lynx vary among estimation methods

Ecosphere, 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 ...
