| Conservation of lynx in the United States: a systematic approach to closing critical knowledge gaps | |
| 2000 Book Chapter | |
To generate reliable inferences about the biology and ecology of lynx in the contiguous United States (U.S.), we must conduct multiple studies that encompass the range of variation in habitats occupied by lynx. The program of research contained in this chapter is predicated upon such an approach. Throughout this book, we have stressed that we know relatively little about lynx biology and ecology in the U.S., and we have cautioned against overgeneralization or inappropriate extrapolation of existing information. We believe the lack of representative data on lynx in the U.S. to be a significant impediment to science-based conservation and management. |
