Canada Lynx in the Great Lakes Region

Research Questions

Understanding the factors affecting the apparent reappearance, current distribution, and long-term persistence of Canada lynx in Minnesota and the GLGA requires a combination of basic and applied research. Research Needs that will most effectively contribute to the recovery and conservation of Canada lynx in Minnesota and other states in the GLGA include:

1. Determining current distribution,
2. Determining the abundance,
3. Determining habitat use and required habitats, and
4. Monitoring the long-term persistence
