摘要: We monitored seven resident (three males and four females) six dispersing subadult Eurasian lynx from to in a population that was re-introduced the Swiss Jura Mountains early 1970s.

Males occupied significantly larger than females. overlap 9% for 3%) Core did touch, but those females clearly separated. Each male's home range covered one or two Population density 0.94 lynx/100 km2 animals. Pre-dispersal mortality estimated be 50%. Juveniles dispersed their mothers' area at age 10 months.
