Spatial Ecology of Bobcats (Lynx rufus) in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Virginia
Despite the prevalent distribution of bobcats in western Virginia and the broader region of Appalachia, there is a paucity of information on their spatial ecology in this region. Due to the unique ecological conditions of Appalachia, and increasing public interest surrounding the role of bobcats as …

Targeted Disruption of Lynx2 Reveals Distinct Functions for Lynx Homologues in Learning and Behavior
… a new level of regulation of nervous function. Lynx1 was identified as an endogenous mammalian homologue of snake venom peptide neurotoxins capable of binding to and functionally modulating nicotinic cetylcholine receptors (nAChR). Lynx1 is a member of the Ly6-α—neurotoxin superfamily (Ly6SF) of …
