Figure 1

Map of the study area, particular study sites and location of cameras with lynx detections in five seasons of systematic camera-trapping in the Czech-Slovak-Polish borderland situated at the western edge of the Carpathian Mountains. Minimum convex polygons (MCP) were enlarged by buffers resulting in a state-space in which the density of lynx was estimated. The EEA squares (10 × 10 km) in the inset show the permanent lynx distribution according to Chapron et al.62. The figure was created in ArcMap 10.7.1 (https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/)43.
