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 ...

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 ...

Patterns of dietary niche breadth and overlap are maintained for two closely related carnivores across broad geographic scales

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological studies investigating niche breadth and overlap often have limited spatial and temporal scale, preventing generalizations across varying environments and communities.

Spatial segregation and habitat partitioning of bobcat and Canada lynx

FACETS, 2020
Harvest records suggest that the abundance of bobcats (Lynx rufus) has increased and the leading edge of their distribution has spread northward, while the trailing edge of the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) range has contracted in Ontario, Canada.

Face‐off: Novel depredation and nest defense behaviors between an invasive and a native predator in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, Florida, USA

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
We describe several photo‐documented novel interactions between intraguild predators in southern Florida—the native bobcat (Lynx rufus) and the invasive Burmese python (Python bivittatus).

Photographic documentation of melanism in bobcats (Lynx rufus) in the Greater Everglades. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
AbstractWe 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 ...

Fine‐scale habitat selection by sympatric Canada lynx and bobcat

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) and the bobcat (Lynx rufus) are closely related species with overlap at their range peripheries, but the factors that limit each species and the interactions between them are not well understood.

Reconsidering the specialist-generalist paradigm in niche breadth dynamics: resource gradient selection by Canada lynx and bobcat. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The long-standing view in ecology is that disparity in overall resource selection is the basis for identifying niche breadth patterns, with species having narrow selection being classified "specialists" and those with broader selection being "generalists"
