Fear of the unknown: local knowledge and perceptions of the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx in western Macedonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The remnant population of Balkan lynx Lynx lynx martinoi is small, isolated and highly threatened. Since 2006 a conservation project has surveyed its status and promoted its recovery in Albania and Macedonia.

Can restoring wolves aid in lynx recovery?

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...

Present status and distribution of the Lynx in the Swiss Alps

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2001
<strong>Abstract</strong> To evaluate the population trend of lynx in the Swiss Alps, we analysed the spatial and numerical development of signs of presence found from 1995 to 1999 and compared them with previous years.

Imperfection in Semiconductors Leading to High Performance Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crystalline perfection is typically pursued in semiconductors to enhance device performance. However, through modeling and experimental work, we show that defects can be strategically employed in a specific detection regime to increase sensitivity to extreme values. GaN diodes are demonstrated to effectively detect high‐energy proton beams at fluxes as

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Favourable areas for expansion and reintroduction of Iberian lynx accounting for distribution trends and genetic diversity of the European rabbit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Although on a local scale Iberian lynx distribution is determined by the availability of prey rabbits, recent modelling analyses have uncovered broad-scale disagreements between these two species’ distribution trends.

Lynx lynx

open access: yes, 1993
Lynx lynx (Linnaeus, 1758). Syst. Nat., 10th ed., 1:43. TYPE LOCALITY: "Europae sylvis and desertis", subsequently restricted by Thomas (1911a: 136) to "Wennersborg, S. Sweden ". DISTRIBUTION: Taiga forests from Scandinavia through E Siberia and Sakhalin; from China (Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi, and Sichuan) through montane Europe (formerly widespread, now

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

LEGAL STATUS AND MANAGEMENT OF THE DINARIC LYNX POPULATION

open access: yesVeterinaria, 2013
Reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) to the Dinaric Mountains in 1973 is one of the rare examples of successful reintroduction of a large predator.

Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.
