Range Dynamics

Species across the planet are shifting their ranges in response to climate change and habitat loss. However, range shifts may vary, with populations moving in some areas but remaining stable in others; the conditions that encourage range stability rather than range shifts are poorly known. Bobcats (Lynx rufus (Schreber, 1777)) and Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis Kerr, 1792) are congeneric mesocarnivores with wide ranges across North America and range overlap in southern boreal and montane forests (the southern edge for lynx and the northern edge for bobcat). The ranges of both species are shifting in some parts of North America, in most cases resulting in a northward expansion for bobcats and a northward contraction for lynx. However, their range dynamics in the Pacific Northwest, which contains the northwestern range margin for bobcats and the southwestern range margin for lynx, have not been thoroughly documented. Here, we examine whether the range of each species has shifted in British Columbia (BC), Canada, provincially during 1983–2013 or in central BC during 1935–2013. Trapping records indicated that ranges have remained stable, and surveys from trappers supported these findings. Our findings are consistent with previous work showing that many wide-ranging species do not shift their range uniformly across their entire range edge. For bobcats and lynx, their range stability in BC contrasts with their range dynamics in other parts of North America.

A class of relativistic nuclear energy density functionals is explored, in which only nucleon degrees of freedom are explicitly used in the construction of effective interaction terms. Short-distance correlations, as well as intermediate and long-range dynamics, are encoded in the nucleon-density dependence of the strength functionals of an effective interaction Lagrangian. The resulting phenomenological effective interaction, adjusted to experimental binding energies of a large set of axially deformed nuclei, together with a new separable pairing interaction adjusted to reproduce the pairing gap in nuclear matter calculated with the Gogny force, is applied in triaxial relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations of sequences of heavy nuclei: Th , U , Pu , Cm , Cf , Fm , and No .
