A Reference Genome Assembly of the Bobcat, Lynx rufus. [PDF]
J Hered, 2022 Abstract The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a medium-sized carnivore well adapted to various environments and an indicator species for landscape connectivity. It is one of the 4 species within the extant Lynx genus in the family Felidae. Because of its broad geographic distribution and central role in food webs, the bobcat is important for ...

Landscape connectivity for bobcat (Lynx rufus) and lynx (Lynx canadensis) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Landscape connectivity is integral to the persistence of metapopulations of wide ranging carnivores and other terrestrial species. The objectives of this research were to investigate the landscape characteristics essential to use of areas by lynx and ...

Habitat connectivity and resource selection in an expanding bobcat (Lynx rufus) population [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Terrestrial carnivores are among the most imperiled species worldwide, yet some species are resilient and are recovering in human-dominated landscapes after decades or centuries of absence.

High prevalence of Lynx rufus gammaherpesvirus 1 in wild Vermont bobcats [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Gammaherpesviruses (GHVs) are host specific DNA viruses that infect a large range of mammalian species. These viruses preferentially target host lymphocyte cell populations and infection may lead to morbidity or mortality in immunocompromised, co ...

Detection of Sarcocystis spp. infection in bobcats (Lynx rufus). [PDF]
Vet Parasitol, 2015 The protozoan Sarcocystis neurona is an important cause of severe clinical disease of horses (called equine protozoal myeloencephalitis, EPM), marine mammals, companion animals, and several species of wildlife animals in the Americas. The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) is its definitive host in the USA and other animals act as intermediate or ...

Temperature driven density gradients of two congeneric felids reveal contrasting responses to climate change at a range margin [PDF]
Scientific ReportsClimate change causes divergent range shifts in cold versus warm-tolerant species, potentially reshuffling biotic interactions at range margins. Yet, outside of coarse distributional metrics, little information exists regarding the ecology of species ...

Photographic documentation of melanism in bobcats (Lynx rufus) in the Greater Everglades. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstractWe document the presence of bobcats (Lynx rufus) that demonstrate melanism in the Greater Everglades. The South Florida landscape is driven by a myriad of disturbance regimes particularly that of short fire intervals. We monitored 180 camera traps for 3 years and obtained 9503 photographs of bobcats 25 (<0.5%) of these detections included ...

The effect of illumination and time of day on movements of bobcats (Lynx rufus). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2013 Understanding behavioral changes of prey and predators based on lunar illumination provides insight into important life history, behavioral ecology, and survival information. The objectives of this research were to determine if bobcat movement rates differed by period of day (dark, moon, crepuscular, day), lunar illumination (

Epizootic and zoonotic helminths of the bobcat (Lynx rufus) in Illinois and a comparison of its helminth component communities across the American Midwest [PDF]
Parasite, 2014 A total of 6257 helminths of 19 taxa were recovered from the digestive tract and lungs of 67 bobcats in Illinois. Infections caused by Alaria mustelae, Diphyllobothrium latum, and Macracanthorhynchus ingens are reported for the first time in bobcats ...
