Predicting favorable habitat for bobcats (Lynx rufus) in Iowa
<p>Bobcats (Lynx rufus), once common in the prairie-woodland mosaic of the Midwest, were largely extirpated from the Corn Belt region by 1900. In the 1990's, sightings of bobcats in Iowa began to increase, and they are now abundant in southern Iowa. With the dramatic expansion of rowcrop …

Population genetics and phylogeography of bobcats (Lynx rufus) using microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA
Bobcats (<italic>Lynx rufus<italic>) are generalist carnivores with an expansive range from southern Canada to northern Mexico, in which 11 - 12 subspecies have been described. Since European settlement, bobcat habitat has become increasingly fragmented due to urbanization and development of …

Habitat Selection and Population Ecology of Bobcats (Lynx Rufus) in South Dakota, USA
The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is native to much of the United States, including South Dakota where it is an important furbearer, is harvested through managed seasons in areas west of the Missouri River, and is closed to harvest east of the Missouri River. Bobcat ecology has been well documented …

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 …

Lynxrufus wilsoni n.g., n.sp. (Nematoda: metastrongylidae) from the lungs of the bobcat, Lynx rufus rufus (Shreber)
Of sixty-four bobcats, Lynx rufus rufus, collected in Virginia end North Carolina, twenty-five percent were found to be infected with an unidentified lungworm. As the literature showed no record of lungworm parasites from Lynx rufus rufus, a study was made of the lungworms of the cat family, …

Evaluation of Bobcat (Lynx rufus) Survival, Harvest, and Population Size in the West-Central Region of South Dakota
<p>Recent concern regarding bobcat (Lynx rufus) population status has prompted researchers and managers to gather additional information about bobcats in South Dakota. From 2012–2015, we assessed population dynamics of bobcats occupying the west-central region of South Dakota. Our objectives were …

Problem-solving capabilities as a test of predator adaptability: A comparision of bobcats (Lynx rufus) and Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)
Canada lynx (<italic>Lynx canadensis</italic>) and bobcats (<italic>Lynx rufus</italic>) are two closely related felids occurring naturally in North America. Bobcats are generalized hunters across their range while Canada lynx are specialized to hunt lagomorphs, especially snowshoe hare …

Food Habits and Placental Scar Counts of Bobcats in South Dakota
Bobcat (Lynx rufus) food habits and placental scar counts were investigated in western South Dakota during 1978-79 and 1979-80 trapping and hunting seasons. Food habits were recorded by frequency of occurrence and placental scar counts were used to determine litter size for South Dakota bobcats. …

Effects of forest management, prey, and predators on the habitat selection of fishers in the South Cascades of Washington.
… tradeoff for fishers between bobcats (Lynx rufus) and snowshoe hares, which fishers may mediate through temporal avoidance of bobcats. Selection for old forests close to recently disturbed stands and the preference of important prey for young stands suggests that habitat mosaics of …
