| morphology and histology of the anatolian bobcat (lynx lynx) hard palate. | the aim of the research was to investigate the morphological and histological structure of the anatolian bobcat (lynx lynx) hard palate using light and scanning electron microscopy, in addition to gross examination. the republic of turkey ministry of agriculture and forestry work (sivas branch) provided three female anatolian bobcat cadavers. the anatolian bobcat hard palate consists of a narrow, rough part in the rostral region (including the incisive papilla, palatine ridges, and palatine raph ... | 2019 | 30895644 |
| tongue squamous cell carcinoma in a european lynx (lynx lynx): papillomavirus infection and histologic analysis. | oral squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is a common finding in domestic and wild felids. only two cases of oral scc have been reported in lynx species (lynx rufus and lynx canadensis), at mandibular and gingival sites. in this study, we describe the first report of tongue scc in a 15 years old female european lynx (lynx lynx), along with viral investigations. necropsy and histological analysis were performed and the presence of papillomavirus (pv) infection was investigated by ultrastructural and mol ... | 2018 | 29301274 |
| morphological and histological study on the foot pads of the anatolian bobcat (lynx lynx). | this study was conducted to reveal the morphometric and morphological features of foot pads in the anatolian bobcat (lynx lynx). to achieve this objective, dissection, histological, and radiography techniques were applied to two dead materials obtained from the republic of turkey ministry of forest and water works sivas branch manager. digit i is radiographically rudimentary in the forepaw. the paws of the forelimb of the anatolian bobcat have a carpal, a metacarpal, and four digital pads, while ... | 2018 | 29266827 |
| effects of sun angle, lunar illumination, and diurnal temperature on temporal movement rates of sympatric ocelots and bobcats in south texas. | sympatric ocelots (leopardus pardalis) and bobcats (lynx rufus) in south texas show substantial overlap in body size, food habits, and habitat use. consequently, we explore whether temporal niche partitioning may explain ocelot and bobcat coexistence. we investigated the influence of sun angle, lunar illumination, and maximum diurnal temperature on temporal movement rates of sympatric ocelots (n = 8) and bobcats (n = 6) using a combination of high-frequency gps locations and bi-axial acceleromet ... | 2020 | 32324759 |
| tick paralysis in a free-ranging bobcat (lynx rufus). | a free-ranging male bobcat (lynx rufus) was evaluated because of signs of pelvic limb paralysis. | 2020 | 31961273 |
| urbanization and anticoagulant poisons promote immune dysfunction in bobcats. | understanding how human activities influence immune response to environmental stressors can support biodiversity conservation across increasingly urbanizing landscapes. we studied a bobcat (lynx rufus) population in urban southern california that experienced a rapid population decline from 2002-2005 due to notoedric mange. because anticoagulant rodenticide (ar) exposure was an underlying complication in mange deaths, we aimed to understand sublethal contributions of urbanization and ars on 65 bi ... | 2018 | 29343604 |
| drivers of canine distemper virus exposure in dogs at a wildlife interface in janos, mexico. | human population expansion has increased the contact between domestic animals and wildlife, thereby increasing the transmission of infectious diseases including canine distemper virus (cdv). here, we investigated the risk factors associated with cdv exposure in domestic and wild carnivores from the janos biosphere reserve (jbr), mexico. | 2021 | 33981441 |
| error rates in wildlife image classification. | we address the comments made by thornton et al. (ecology and evolution, 2019) in response to our recent article on measuring the agreement among experts in classifying camera images of bobcats and canada lynx. | 2019 | 31236256 |
| does the virus cross the road? viral phylogeographic patterns among bobcat populations reflect a history of urban development. | urban development has major impacts on connectivity among wildlife populations and is thus likely an important factor shaping pathogen transmission in wildlife. however, most investigations of wildlife diseases in urban areas focus on prevalence and infection risk rather than potential effects of urbanization on transmission itself. feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) is a directly transmitted retrovirus that infects many felid species and can be used as a model for studying pathogen transmissio ... | 2020 | 32908587 |
| sex-specific effects of reproductive season on bobcat space use, movement, and resource selection in the appalachian mountains of virginia. | across taxa, sex-specific demands vary temporally in accordance with reproductive investments. in solitary carnivores, females must provision and protect young independently while meeting increased energetic demands. males seek to monopolize access to females by maintaining large territories and defending them from other males. for many species, it is poorly understood how these demands relate to broad-scale animal movements. to investigate predictions surrounding the reproductive strategies of ... | 2020 | 32750055 |
| development and validation of the bladder and bowel incontinence phobia severity scale. | the current research investigates the development and validation of the bladder and bowel incontinence phobia severity scale (bbipss). over two studies, two independent samples consisting of university students and respondents from the general public were used to validate the scale (study 1 n = 226; study 2 n = 377). a 15-item, two-factor model was confirmed in study 2 where strong construct (convergent and divergent) validity was demonstrated. the bbipss did not display significant correlations ... | 2019 | 32746391 |
| relationships of catch-per-unit-effort metrics with abundance vary depending on sampling method and population trajectory. | catch-per-unit-effort (cpue) is often used to monitor wildlife populations and to develop statistical population models. animals caught and released are often not included in cpue metrics and their inclusion may create more accurate indices of abundance. we used 21 years of detailed harvest records for bobcat (lynx rufus) in wisconsin, u.s.a., to calculate cpue and 'actual cpue' (acpue; including animals caught and released) from bobcat hunters and trappers. we calibrated these metrics to an ind ... | 2020 | 32437401 |
| author correction: roadkill and space use data predict vehicle-strike hotspots and mortality rates in a recovering bobcat (lynx rufus) population. | an amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper. | 2020 | 32242068 |
| climate connectivity of the bobcat in the great lakes region. | the great lakes and the st. lawrence river are imposing barriers for wildlife, and the additive effect of urban and agricultural development that dominates the lower great lakes region likely further reduces functional connectivity for many terrestrial species. as the climate warms, species will need to track climate across these barriers. it is important therefore to investigate land cover and bioclimatic hypotheses that may explain the northward expansion of species through the great lakes. we ... | 2020 | 32128144 |
