1. Both prey abundance and intraspecific competition strongly affect lynx population dynamics
2. Population cycles occurred in most regions
3. Population cycles weakened toward the south, where dynamics were more stable
4. Population stability linked to prey refugia and more diverse prey guild.
#SITESPapers: A study led by SITES Grimsö examined Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) abundance in relation to roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and lynx densities across Sweden, using long-term data and models to understand predator–prey dynamics.
