Research suggests that when primary prey populations decrease, the habitat overlap between certain carnivores, such as the Canada lynx, and other medium-sized predators increases. However, the specific carnivores involved in this overlap appear to vary by region, with different studies mentioning the golden jackal, Eurasian lynx, coyote, and ocelot. The dynamics of these interactions are complex and may be influenced by factors such as climate change, prey size, and competition among carnivores.
