Tolerance to humans of resting lynxes Lynx lynx in a hunted population

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the tolerance of lynx to human presence and disturbance in a hunted population in Norway using telemetry and found that lynxes tolerate high human activity within their range as long as sufficient stands of undisturbed, mature forest with dense horizontal cover are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predators control post-fledging mortality in tawny owls, Strix aluco

Peter Sunde
- 01 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: Survival during the post-fledging dependency period was therefore primarily a function of variation in predation pressures, particularly from raptors, and increasing raptor predation of late broods appears to be an important selective agent for early breeding in the tawny owl.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foraging of lynxes in a managed boreal-alpine environment

TL;DR: The importance of agricultural land as a foraging habitat and the dominance of livestock in the diet in remoter areas indicate that the lynx has responded to agriculture and reindeer husbandry during the past century by switching from smaff game to ungulates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A telemetry study of the social organization of a tawny owl (Strix aluco) population

TL;DR: Two out of four cases of radio-tagged owls disappearing from their territory because of natural causes was due to take-overs by invading owls, suggesting that the risk of losing fitness following eviction was important.
