This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring the status and trends of bobcat (Lynx rufus) distribution, abundance, and population genetics are important to wildlife professionals tasked with bobcat conservation and management. In Maryland, USA, bobcats are expanding their distribution east of bobcat range (i.e., Garrett and Allegany counties, Maryland), likely indicating an increase in abundance and prompting interest in bobcats' status within western Maryland. My objectives were to 1) evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive genetic sampling techniques to detect and individually identify bobcats, 2) evaluate and predict bobcat occupancy, 3) estimate and compare bobcat abundance using 2 methods, and 4) assess bobcat population structure and genetic diversity in western Maryland. I conducted my study on 3 study areas in western Maryland including areas within and surrounding Potomac-Garrett, Savage River, and Green Ridge State Forests. On each study area, I overlaid a 5 x 8 grid network of 40 cells, each cell 5.5 km2 in size, to evenly distribute hair snare and camera locations. During January-March 2019 I conducted hair snaring surveys, scat collection surveys, and snow tracking surveys to compare each non-invasive genetic sampling technique by detections using mitochondrial DNA and individually identified samples using 10 microsatellite loci. During January-March 2019 and 2020, I placed 1 camera in each grid cell and visited cameras weekly to collect photo data and re-bait each location. I used single-season occupancy and Royle-Nichols models to estimate bobcat occupancy and abundance, respectively, over both years and all study areas. I surveyed transects consisting of hiking trails, closed or lightly used roads, and off-highway vehicle trails from May-August 2019 to collect scat samples. I screened scats by species and identified bobcat scats to the individual level for use in spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) models. I assessed population structure using the Bayesian clustering method in program STRUCTURE and principal coordinate analysis. In addition, I examined genetic diversity using heterozygosity and number of alleles per locus.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliable population estimation techniques for cryptic forest predators are generally lacking. Development of an efficient and reliable technique to directly estimate predator populations would be a valuable tool for wildlife managers concerned with predator management. Understanding the temporal variation in activity patterns of forest carnivores is also important to researchers interested in possible resource partitioning among predator species. Trailmaster ® 1500 active infrared-triggered cameras were used to conduct a bobcat (Lynx rufus) population estimation survey on a 1,318-ha private land holding located 15 kilometers west of the city of Nacogdoches, TX. A total of 15 bobcat photographic events were recorded of seven separate individuals. These data were used to derive a population abundance estimate of seven to fourteen bobcats during the twelve-week study period using the computer program CAPTURE. A density of 0.29--0.58 bobcats/km 2 was estimated. During the survey period, the activity patterns of four forest carnivores were monitored. A total of 161 capture events (18 bobcat, 109 raccoon (Prycon lotor), 21 Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), and 13 coyote (Canis latrans)) were recorded during a 17 week camera trapping period comprised of 1,722 trap nights. Raccoons, coyotes and Virginia opossums were found to be mainly nocturnal while bobcats were active during nocturnal, diurnal, and crepuscular periods. Overall, 73.4% of predator activity was recorded nocturnally. No difference in raccoon (X 2 = 0.7755, P = 0.9417) or Virginia opossum (X 2 = 5.4286, P = 0.2461) nocturnal activity was found between moon phases.

Book excerpt: Bobcat: Master of Survival tells the story of the most adaptable and resilient wild feline in the world. While half the wild cat species worldwide are in danger, the bobcat is thriving, even expanding its range in North America. Why are bobcats flourishing when so many other wild felines are advancing towards extinction? The book explains how scientists apply the latest in wildlife research technology to probe this diminutive predator's habits and behavior. The reader is invited inside the bobcat's world to see how they hunt, kill prey, raise their young, coexist with humans, and deftly navigate the endless obstacles to survival. The bobcat is both the most studied and the most exploited wild feline in the world. Millions have been killed for the fur trade. They were the focus of major controversy in the 1970s that transformed international conservation of wild felines. The book discusses how economics and politics play a far greater role in bobcat management and conservation than does science. Bobcat is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the natural history and management of bobcats to appear in 40 years.
