We propose here some refinements of the ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA) to
describe precisely one organism's habitat selection. The ENFA is based on the concept of …

In the multi‐use landscape of southern Norway, the distribution of lynx is likely to be
determined both by the abundance of their favoured prey–the roe deer–and the risk …

Annual and seasonal home ranges were calculated for 47 Eurasian lynx in four
Scandinavian study sites (two in Sweden and two in Norway). The observed home ranges …
