The Canada lynx is the only native felid species found in the boreal forests of Alaska and a small population resides on the Kenai Peninsula. We developed resource selection functions to examine what variables are influencing lynx habitat use at first and second orders of selection. We found that lynx selected areas of gentle topography that provided a mosaic of forested areas with higher canopy cover. Snow cover was also a strong predictor of lynx use. Human activities had mixed effects. We used the resource selection function to create lynx habitat maps that allowed us to examine habitat connectivity across the landscape and determine potential pinch points across the Sterling Highway. This information can be useful to managers when making decisions around transportations systems. Our assessment provided detailed information on the location of different types of habitat, and potential movement paths and corridors across the Kenai Peninsula.
