Investigations on reproductive physiology in the male Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx).
This study characterized (in vivo) morphological and functional parameters of reproductive organs of adult male lynx (n = 3) prior to, during, and after the breeding season (n = 3). Size and morphology of the reproductive tract were monitored by transcutaneous (testes) and transrectal (accessory sex glands) ultrasonography. Semen was collected by electroejaculation. Ejaculate volume, sperm numb...

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 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...
متن کاملOrthopoxvirus DNA in Eurasian Lynx, Sweden
Cowpox virus, which has been used to protect humans against smallpox but may cause severe disease in immunocompromised persons, has reemerged in humans, domestic cats, and other animal species in Europe. Orthopoxvirus (OPV) DNA was detected in tissues (lung, kidney, spleen) in 24 (9%) of 263 free-ranging Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from Sweden. Thymidine kinase gene amplicon sequences (339 bp) fr...
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...
