  <dc:description>&lt;p class="chapter-para"&gt;From 1972 through 1978, lynxes (&lt;i&gt;Felis lynx&lt;/i&gt;) emigrating from Canada were studied in northeastern Minnesota. Fourteen individuals were radio-tracked, 8 were ear-tagged, and 49 carcasses were examined. Sex ratios of the samples were equal during the first years of the study, but females predominated later. At least half of the radio-tagged lynxes were killed by humans; no natural mortality was detected. Home range sizes ranged from 51 to 122 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for females and 145 to 243 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for males, up to 10 times the sizes of those reported by other workers. Ranges of females tended to overlap. Males and females appeared to be segregated in the population.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
