Misidentification of sex among harvested bobcats

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
Sex and age data are fundamental vital statistics used to characterize wildlife populations, often integral to models used to assess population responses to harvest or make other management decisions.

Is unreliable science guiding bobcat management in Wyoming and other western U.S. states?

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Wildlife managers require defensible and transparent population estimates to justify species management. Statistical population reconstruction (SPR) is being widely adopted to estimate wildlife population sizes from hunter harvest data.

Pellets recovered from stick nests and new diet items of Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This is the first record showing eleven species in seven genera of Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes) from Argentina that regurgitate pellets. A total of 627 nests of Furnariidae was examined, and from 84 nests (13.3%), 1,329 pellets were recovered. These

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Features of eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx L.) in Croatia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Ris spada u porodicu mačaka čiji su se članovi najviše specijalizirali od svih mesojedih sisavaca. Ris je mačka koja u mitologiji predstavlja lukavu, tajanstvenu životinju, čuvara šumskih tajni, koji sve vidi bez da bude viđen.

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Evaluating the impact of hunter access and harvest regulations on elk movement and resource selection

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We estimated daily probabilities of female elk transitioning between hunter access strategies during 4 periods of the fall hunting season in the Devil's Kitchen study area in central Montana, USA, 2020‐2023. Elk generally avoided harvest risk by selecting for less hunter access and more restrictive harvest regulations.

Species‐specific interactions with apex carnivores yield unique benefits and burdens for mesocarnivores

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Mesocarnivores navigate a complex risk–reward continuum in ecosystems shared with their apex counterparts, balancing scavenging opportunities with risks of mortality. However, the risks to mesocarnivores in multi‐carnivore systems are not uniform; they can vary with specific apex–meso pairings.

Bobcats Do Not Exhibit Rub Response Despite Presence at Hair Collection Stations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We evaluated the detection rate for hair snare sampling for bobcats (Lynx rufus) using colocated hair snares and infrared-triggered cameras at 20 locations on private property in eastern Texas.

Interspecific killing among mammalian carnivores [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Interspecific killing among mammalian carnivores is common in nature and accounts for up to 68% of known mortalities in some species. Interactions may be symmetrical (both species kill each other) or asymmetrical (one species kills the other), and ...
