Morphology, Replacement Mechanisms, and Functional Conservation in Dental Replacement Patterns of the Bobcat (Felis rufus)

Dental Eruption in Bobcats

“…Therefore, during the eruption of permanent canines (weeks 22-23), kittens had 2 sets of canines. This canine replacement pattern allows kittens to continue eating without difficulty (Tumlinson and McDaniel 1984). An incisor replacement schedule has not been previously published, therefore, errors of up to 1 month may occur when determining birth J.…”

Understanding Fluctuations in Bobcat Harvest at the Northern Limit of Their Range

“…Level of correlation (r 2 ) with the probability (P) between the reported harvest of bobcats (Lynx rufus) in Quebec (Canada) and Maine (USA), New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario (Canada), and Vermont (USA) for 3 periods (1980-1985, 1986-1991, and 1980-1991). Predecline 1980-1985Decline 1986-1991Total 1980-1991 sexed, and aged collected animals using erupting dental pattern and presence of the apical foramens in the roots of canine teeth (Crowe 1972(Crowe , 1975Tumlison and McDaniel 1984). Thus, we separated individuals into 2 categories: juveniles (open apical foramens) and adults (closed apical foramens).…”

Three-dimensional cranial ontogeny in pantherines (Panthera leo,P. onca,P. pardus,P. tigris; Carnivora:, Felidae)

“…: Fagen & Wiley, 1978;Leopardus wiedii: Petersen & Petersen, 1978;Lynx spp. : Garc ıa-Perea, 1996;Lynx rufus: Crowe, 1975;Tumlison & McDaniel, 1984;Jackson, Gluesing & Jacobson, 1988;Johnson, Brown & Bosomworth, 1981; Prionailurus bengalensis: Nakanishi et al, 2009;Puma concolor: Biknevicius, 1996;Biknevicius & Leigh, 1997;Gay & Best, 1996;Laundr e et al, 2000;Shaw et al, 2007). In addition some groups (Segura & Flores, 2009;Giannini et al, 2010;Segura et al, 2013;Segura, 2015) studied the ontogenetic changes and their functional consequences in Acinonyx jubatus, Herpailurus yagouaroundi, Lynx rufus and Puma concolor.…”
