Density of Wild Prey Modulates Lynx Kill Rates on Free-Ranging Domestic Sheep
Figure 2
Predicted kill rates (i.e. number of sheep killed in 30 days) under different roe deer densities for male (solid black lines) and female (dashed red lines) lynx.
Upper lines for each sex are predicted kill rates under high sheep density (95% percentile of observed lamb densities: 6.6 lamb km−2) and lower lines are predictions for low sheep density (5% percentile of observed lamb densities: 0.1 lamb km−2). Scatter plot inset in right corner represents the raw data.
