The application of species distribution models (SDMs) to areas outside of where a model was created allows informed decisions across large spatial scales, yet transferability remains a challenge in ecological modeling.

Exposure to selected pathogens in Geoffroy's cats and domestic carnivores from central Argentina [PDF]
Wild carnivores share a high percentage of parasites and viruses with closely related domestic carnivores. Because of increased overlap and potential contact with domestic species, we conducted a retrospective serosurvey for 11 common carnivore pathogens

Applying expert elicitation of viability and persistence to a lynx species status assessment
In 2015, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service initiated a review of the status of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) in the contiguous United States.

The influence of snowmobile trails on coyote movements during winter in high-elevation landscapes. [PDF]
Competition between sympatric carnivores has long been of interest to ecologists. Increased understanding of these interactions can be useful for conservation planning.

Wild Carnivore Survey of Echinococcus Species in Slovenia
Wild carnivores are definitive hosts and potential reservoirs for the tapeworm Echinococcus sp. which can cause cystic and alveolar echinococcosis. Both are considered neglected and important food-borne pandemics.

Wolves and lynx: Plausible ideas make for testable hypotheses
We recently wrote an opinion piece (Ripple et al. 2011) hypothesizing that the presence of wolves (Canis lupus) could indirectly benefit Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) by suppressing competition with coyotes (Canis latrans). Subsequent comments by Hodges (

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported in multiple animal species besides humans. The goal of this study was to report clinical signs, infection progression, virus detection and antibody response in a group of wild

Foraging ecology of Eurasian lynx populations in southwest Asia: Conservation implications for a diet specialist [PDF]
Intraspecific variation in key traits of widespread species can be hard to predict, if populations have been very little studied in most of the distribution range.

Niche partitioning of bobcat and Canada lynx near their distribution contact zone
Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) are keystone predators. However, contact with congenerics, like the bobcat (Lynx rufus), could alter lynx trophic ecology and destabilize boreal food webs.

Central to species conservation in an era of increased disturbance from climate change is understanding the primary mechanisms that facilitate how forest-dependent species respond to changes in forest structure and composition.
