| Bobcat movements and home ranges relative to roads in Wisconsin | |
| 1996 Wildlife Society Bulletin (24): 71-76 | |
Our data suggest that bobcats in northwestern Wisconsin selected home ranges with relatively higher densities of trails and lower densities of secondary highways. Within established home ranges, bobcats crossed secondary highways, unpaved roads, and trails in proportion to their occurrence and crossed paved roads less than expected. Geographic and behavioral selection appeared to be a function of vehicle traffic levels and juxtaposition of preferred bobcat habitat to road types. In general, areas =100 m from roads contained less preferred bobcat habitat than roadless areas. |
