Development of a 96 SNP panel for fecal genotyping and individual identification of bobcats (Lynx rufus) in California

open access: yesConservation Genetics Resources
Spatial mark-recapture abundance estimates obtained from fecal genotyping are becoming an essential component of conservation of carnivores. The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a widespread carnivore in California, USA, that until recently lacked robust ...

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings. Abstract Anthropogenic

An evaluation of hunter surveys to monitor relative abundance of bobcats

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
We examined the utility of bobcat (Lynx rufus) detections by deer hunters in New Hampshire, USA, as an index of relative abundance. To validate the index, we compared the number of hunter outings that detected bobcats per 1,000 outings (hunting seasons ...

Are we there yet? Reliable occupancy modeling from AI‐labeled trail camera data

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Even low false‐positive rates in AI‐labeled camera‐trap data can bias occupancy estimates, particularly for rare species. Our results show that false positive informed occupancy models can substantially improve inference, underscoring the need to evaluate AI classifiers according to the assumptions of downstream ecological analyses.

Combining Disparate Camera‐Trap Surveys: Impacts of Spatial Bias and Design Variation on Large‐Scale Ecological Inference

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Combining camera trap data from multiple surveys has the potential to address large‐scale ecological and conservation questions. But individual surveys can differ substantially in study design and, at the large scale, these surveys typically do not constitute a spatially representative sample.

Hierarchical Habitat Selection by Coyotes: Scale‐Dependent Responses to Land Cover, Prey and Harvest

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Across much of the globe, landscape modification and the reduction of large carnivores have facilitated the expansion and growth of mesocarnivore populations. An understanding of the factors shaping the distribution and activity of mesocarnivores in highly modified systems lacking large carnivores can help ecologists predict the potential ...

Genetic analysis of harvest samples reveals population structure in a highly mobile generalist carnivore

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Delineating wildlife population boundaries is important for effective population monitoring and management. The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a highly mobile generalist carnivore that is ecologically and economically important. We sampled 1225 bobcats harvested
