Description :

Individual data and concentrations of trace metal elements in the liver of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) found dead in Switzerland.

Disciplines :

biodiversity conservation (applied biology - ecology), ecology (applied biology - ecology)

Keywords :

deficiency, ecotoxicology, mammals, toxicity, trace metals, wildlife

Access details :

The data used in this study are available upon request. Due to the endangered status of the Eurasian lynx, where illegal killing poses a significant threat, the availability of the data is restricted. The geographical coordinates will not be disclosed and the location will be given on a 10 by 10 km grid scale. Please contact the scientific data manager for further details, stating your organisation, research activity and the reasons for your request.
