Monitoring the status of endangered species is essential to guide conservation and management measures, especially for populations facing isolation small numbers. The Balkan lynx (Lynx balcanicus), most subspecies Eurasian lynx, survives in southwestern Balkans with fewer than 50 mature individuals. Obtaining accurate population estimates challenging such a rare, wide ranging elusive species. We used camera-trapping Spatial Capture-Recapture (SCR) modelling provide first reliable density its...
Abstract Selecting appropriate candidates for genetic rescue mostly relies on previous research and monitoring, while ecological behavioural traits of the remnant source populations are rarely considered such conservation measures. Because their slow recovery, Eurasian lynx Lynx in Central Western Europe have been a repeated target reinforcements reintroductions past 50 years. Once inhabiting much south-eastern Europe, Balkan L. l. balcanicus is now critically endangered confined to small...
Spatial and foraging ecology of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) has been well recognized, however due to distinct taxonomic position geographic isolation its Balkan population, it is important learn compare other populations this felid. Therefore, paper offers first ever investigation into spatial predator. To that aim, we used modern GPS/GSM telemetry methods, allowing proper research animal requirements diet preferences. Individuals were captured using walk-through, double-door box-traps...
Abstract The estimation of foraging parameters is fundamental for understanding predator ecology. Predation and feeding can vary with multiple factors, such as prey availability, presence kleptoparasites human disturbance. However, our knowledge mostly limited to local scales, which prevents studying effects environmental factors across larger ecological gradients. Here, we compared inter‐kill intervals handling times Eurasian lynx ( Lynx ) a large latitudinal gradient, from subarctic the...
