Further occurrences of melanism in a northern, peripheral, population of Bobcat (Lynx rufus)

open access: yes, 2021
Although melanism is understood to occur commonly among some felids, it is reported to be most frequent among cat species that occur in humid, tropical, and densely vegetated habitats.

Citizen‐Science Camera Trap Data Reveal Large‐Scale Activity Patterns of the Bobcat (Lynx rufus) Across Mexican Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated whether citizen science–derived camera‐trap records can be used to characterize large‐scale activity patterns of a widely distributed mesocarnivore across heterogeneous landscapes. Using 821 independent iNaturalist records, we quantified activity across six major vegetation types in Mexico with kernel density estimation, circular ...

Selected Helminth Parasites (Cestoda, Nematoda) of Bobcat, Lynx rufus (Carnivora: Felidae), in Northeastern Arkansas

open access: yes, 2021
The bobcat, Lynx rufus is a relatively common Arkansas carnivore that ranges statewide. Although there is a great deal of information on the natural history of this species in the state, there have been few studies where parasites have been documented in

Insights into the spatial ecology of severely injured free‐living felids: Iberian lynx, bobcat, and snow leopard

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Severe musculoskeletal diseases, such as those associated with congenital or traumatic events, that result in missing limbs may compromise the fitness and survival of free‐living felids. Here we report the space use of four amputee individuals from three

Estimating density and detection of bobcats in fragmented midwestern landscapes using spatial capture–recapture data from camera traps

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Camera‐trapping data analyzed with spatially explicit capture–recapture (SCR) models can provide a rigorous method for estimating density of small populations of elusive carnivore species.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2148-2161, July 2026.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Detection of Felis catus Gammaherpesvirus 1 in Cats, but not Dogs, in Türkiye: Prevalence and Risk Factors

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
The current study was carried out to determine prevalence of Felis catus gammaherpesvirus 1 (FcaGHV1) in Turkish domestic cats and dogs and to investigate potential risk factors that are associated with the detection of FcaGHV1. FcaGHV1‐specific DNA was detected in 4 (7.4%, 95% confidence interval 0.4–14.4) of the 54 feline blood samples by TaqMan real‐

Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Noninvasive genetic sampling is widely used in ecology and conservation to identify predators and their diets but recovering individual‐level information from consumed prey remains largely unexplored. We evaluated whether individual prey can be reliably genotyped from carnivore scats and assessed limitations associated with degraded and mixed ...

Is pathogen exposure spatially autocorrelated? Patterns of pathogens in puma (Puma concolor) and bobcat (Lynx rufus)

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Understanding pathogen spread in wildlife has important implications for conservation and management efforts. This is particularly the case for taxa that are susceptible to disease spillover events resulting in outbreaks and rapid population declines ...
