What is Snow Track Counts for Predator Density about?

Track counts of Canada lynx and coyotes in the snow were compared to concurrent density estimates from radio-collared animals over multiple years. Track counts were positively correlated with lynx density (r2=0.83) and showed a relationship with coyote density (r2=0.80) though coyote tracks were affected by season. Track counts have potential as a cost-effective method for monitoring population trends of medium-sized mammals if site-specific validations are performed.
