“…The total number of alleles (N A = 41) among 23 VP samples is only one more than among 8 Croatian samples (N A = 40), which themselves exhibit low variability. The low diversity in VP can probably be attributed to the low number of reproducing founders (estimated to be 4 females and 6 males at best; Vandel et al 2006); absence of connectivity to other populations means that there is no opportunity for immigrants to bolster diversity and to replace potential losses. We concur with the assessment that the VP population should be regarded as critically endangered (Chapron et al 2014).…”

The effect of reintroductions on the genetic variability in Eurasian lynx populations: the cases of Bohemian–Bavarian and Vosges–Palatinian populations

Over the past *40 years, several attempts were made to reintroduce Eurasian lynx to suitable habitat within their former distribution range in Western Europe. In general, limited numbers of individuals have been released to establish new populations. To evaluate the effects of reintroductions on the genetic status of lynx populations we used 12 microsatellite loci to study lynx populations in the Bohemian-Bavarian and Vosges-Palatinian forests. Compared with autochthonous lynx populations, these two reintroduced populations displayed reduced genetic diversity, particularly the Vosges-Palatinian population. Our genetic data provide further evidence to support the status of 'endangered' and 'critically endangered' for the Bohemian-Bavarian and VosgesPalatinian populations, respectively. Regarding conservation management, we highlight the need to limit poaching, and advocate additional translocations to bolster genetic variability.

“…Lynx are cryptic large carnivores for which problems of variable detection have already been identified (e.g. Marboutin et al 2006). We aimed here at assessing whether profile methods and modelling approaches provided similar patterns of lynx occurrence in the Jura Mountains.…”

Comparing profile methods and site-occupancy modelling for the study of occurrence of an elusive species

et al. 2011

Based on 1,053 signs of presence collected between 2002 and 2006 by a network of well-trained observers, we modelled the occurrence of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in France using two methods. The Mahalanobis distance factor analysis (MADIFA) provided a measure of habitat suitability based on environmental covariates, and site-occupancy modelling provided estimates of both presence and detection probabilities over time. Environmental covariates included in the site-occupancy modelling markedly improved the fit of the lynx presence model. We found a strong correlation between habitat suitability scores estimated from the MADIFA and probabilities of presence estimated from the site-occupancy modelling, indicating that both methods provided a convergent assessment of lynx potential occurrence.

Monitoramento por radiotelemetria da área de uso de onça parda reintroduzida no entorno do Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro -MG, Brasil Palavras-chave: grande felino, reintrodução animal, FlorestaAtlântica. ABSTRACTOne subadult male specimen of a reintroduced mountain lion was monitored using the radio telemetry technique. The monitoring lasted 110 days, being randomly distributed. Data of the monitoring through radiotelemetry suggested that the home range of this specimen was of approximately 26km 2 . This sets as the smallest home range described for this species. However, the importance of this basic monitoring should be emphasized, since information of the behavior of a large feline reintroduced in its natural habitat after a period in captivity is incipient.
