| Spatial and temporal distribution of Eurasian lynx (_Lynx lynx_ L. 1758) in north-western Turkey | |
| 2017 Conference Proceeding | |
Lynx plays key roles in the ecosystems like other predator species by controlling the fluctuations of prey populations and it helps to preserve the ecological balance. Therefore, it is certain that decrease in the number or complete extinction of the species will lead to irreversible problems. It is very important to understand ecological characteristics of lynx for assessing the status of the species in a region and to make effective conservation plans. In this study, carried out in rural parts of €amlidere, Kizilcahamam (Ankara) and Gerede (Bolu) in north-western Anatolia, which habitat(s) among the major vegetation structures in the area were preferred by lynxes and seasonal movement patterns, daily activity patterns and seasonal activity variations of lynxes were aimed to determine. |
