Large carnivores promote crucial ecosystem processes but are increasingly threatened by
human persecution and habitat destruction. Successful conservation of this guild requires …

Scavenging is an important but poorly understood ecological process. Dominant scavengers
can impose a selection pressure that alters the predator's fitness, morphology, behavior, and …

A review of lynxes' reproductive biology and comparison between the reproductive cycles of
the domestic cat and lynxes is presented. Three of the four lynx species (the bobcat …

Home range (HR) size variation is often linked to resource abundance, with sex differences
expected to relate to sex‐specific fitness consequences. However, studies generally fail to …

Despite extensive research on the ecology and behavioural adaptations of large carnivores
in human-dominated landscapes, information about the fitness consequences of sharing …

Harvesting large carnivores can be a management tool for meeting politically set goals for
their desired abundance. However, harvesting carnivores creates its own set of conflicts in …

Landscapes are mosaics of habitat associated with different risks and resources, including
human activities, which can affect individual survival in wildlife. Different relationships …

Felids generally follow a poly-estrous reproductive strategy. Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx)
display a different pattern of reproductive cyclicity where physiologically persistent corpora …

Rehabilitation of injured or immature individuals has become an increasingly used
conservation and management tool. However, scientific evaluation of rehabilitations is rare …

Understanding intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of reproductive success is central to advancing
animal ecology and characterizing critical habitat. Unfortunately, much of the work …
