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 ...

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

Raven (Corvus corax) as a novel food item for lynx (Lynx canadensis) [PDF]
, 2022 Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a specialist predator of Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus), which dominates its diet. However, hare populations cycle over 9–11 years, and many lynx disperse or starve during cyclic lows of their prey.

Can restoring wolves aid in lynx recovery?
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011 Herein, we examine the hypothesis that relatively low densities of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) and the imperiled status of lynx (Lynx canadensis) may be partially due to an ecological cascade caused by the extirpation of gray wolves (Canis lupus ...

Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Felidae (Mammalia: Carnivora). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study performed reannotation of the genomes of two felid species and conducted the first genomic analysis of body size variation and evolution in Felidae. Our results demonstrate that felid body size evolution is driven by adaptive changes in both core signaling pathways and individual key genes.

The influence of snowmobile trails on coyote movements during winter in high-elevation landscapes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Competition between sympatric carnivores has long been of interest to ecologists. Increased understanding of these interactions can be useful for conservation planning.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 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.

Wild Carnivore Survey of Echinococcus Species in Slovenia
Animals, 2022 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
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 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 (
