Gene flow and pathogen transmission among bobcats (Lynx rufus) in a fragmented urban landscape.
Urbanization can result in the fragmentation of once contiguous natural landscapes into a patchy habitat interspersed within a growing urban matrix. Animals living in fragmented landscapes often have reduced movement among habitat patches because of avoidance of intervening human development, which potentially leads to both reduced gene flow and pathogen transmission between patches. Mammalian ...
متن کاملA Baseline Assessment of Furbearers on the Upper Coastal Plain of Virginia
We assessed the status of furbearing mammals on Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia during the 199 8-1999 trapping season with the cooperation of local licensed trappers. Our analyses were based on 345 captures representing of 10 mammal species, ranging from one bobcat (Lynx rufus) to 157 beavers (Castor canadensis). Mean number of captures per 100 trap nights was 17.0. Captures varied fr...
متن کاملState of stress in Texas: Implications for induced seismicity
Compilation of almost 200 new maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) orientations in Texas reveals a complex intraplate stress field. A large extensional stress province is associated with extensive growth faulting from northeastern Mexico to Louisiana. SHmax is subparallel to the coastline, following the strikes of the growth faults. In contrast, we observe a strike-slip/normal faulting regime with...
متن کاملEvidence for large-scale effects of competition: niche displacement in Canada lynx and bobcat.
Determining the patterns, causes and consequences of character displacement is central to our understanding of competition in ecological communities. However, the majority of competition research has occurred over small spatial extents or focused on fine-scale differences in morphology or behaviour. The effects of competition on broad-scale distribution and niche characteristics of species rema...
