Table 1. Synchrony between pairs of lynx time series defined in the period 1897–1934.

The names of the series are those defined in Stenseth et al. (4): L2, West; L3, MacKenzie River; L5, Athabasca Basin (northern Alberta); L7, West Central (northern Saskatchewan); L11, James Bay; L12, Lakes; and L14, Gulf. L2 belongs to the Pacific Zone; L3, L5, and L7 belong to the Continental Zone; and L11, L12, and L14 belong to the Atlantic Zone. For each pair of time series, the optimal shift (above the diagonal line), and the correlation (below the diagonal line) are given. Yellow-shaded blocks indicate the geographical zone structure.
