Kratochvil, J.
Survey of the distribution of populations of the genus lynx in Europe
1968  Acta scientiarum naturalium Academiae scientiarum bohemoslovacae - Brno (4): 5-12

The process of disappearance of the lynx is drawn in general; the latest occurrence of this carnivore is evidenced in those countries in which it had been extinct (J. Kratochvil); changes in the area of its distribution in Europe are described (N.K. Verescagin, S.V. Kirikov). We are relatively well informed on the process of disappearance of the lynx from W. Europe, especially in France, as summarized in a paper (by M-Ch. Saint Girons) in this report. In this volume, the process of disappearance of the lynx in S. Europe is illustrated in the papers by A. Toschi and N. Atanasov, and in C. Europe in those by J. Kratochvil and F. Vala. The reasons are discussed of the extermination of the lynx in the cultivated areas of many European countries, as well as the possibility for its conservation in countries of its present occurrence.
