Abstract: Precise and unbiased estimates of survival and mortality patterns are needed to understand population dynamics of bobcats (Lynx rufus). Bobcat pelts were at a high demand 20 years ago. As a result, bobcat populations had to be monitored, even now, to make sure that the decline of bobcat populations would not decrease again as it did in the past. By using the Pop-2 computer model, we are able to predict what percentage of an increase …
