Activity Patterns of Eurasian Lynx Are Modulated by Light Regime and Individual Traits over a Wide Latitudinal Range
The activity patterns of most terrestrial animals are regarded as being primarily influenced by light, although other factors, such as sexual cycle and climatic conditions, can modify the underlying patterns. However, most activity studies have been limited to a single study area, which in turn limit the variability of light conditions and other factors. Here we considered a range of variables ...
متن کاملPrey density, environmental productivity and home-range size in the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx)
Variation in size of home range is among the most important parameters required for effective conservation and management of a species. However, the fact that home ranges can vary widely within a species makes data transfer between study areas difficult. Home ranges of Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx vary by a factor of 10 between different study areas in Europe. This study aims to try and explain this...
متن کاملBluetongue in Eurasian Lynx
1496 Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 14, No. 9, September 2008 The precision of subtyping assays is a matter of importance and debate for epidemiologic and, recently, forensic investigations. Strain identity is commonly used to infer a common source even when spatial and temporal data are not congruent. Moreover, the defi nition of a strain is somewhat unclear and relies o...
متن کاملScent-marking behaviour and social dynamics in a wild population of Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx.
Scent-marking is widespread among mammals and has been observed in many felid species. Although the behaviour is well-described, little is known about its function in wild felid populations. We investigated patterns of scent-marking and its role in intra- and intersexual communication among resident and non-resident Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx by observing interactions among wild lynx at natural ma...
متن کاملRisk taking by Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in a human-dominated landscape: effects of sex and reproductive status
This study aimed to test how the sex and reproductive status of Eurasian lynx influenced their use of ‘attractive sinks’ – habitats with high prey density and high mortality risks. Locations of 24 Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx were obtained by radiotelemetry in a mixed forest and agricultural habitat in south-eastern Norway. Roe deer, the major food source of lynx in the study area, occurred at highe...
