Table 2. Synchrony among pairs of lynx time series defined in the period 1929–1994.

The names of the series are those defined in Stenseth et al. (4): L15, British Columbia; L16, Yukon Territory; L17, Northwest Territory; L18, Alberta; L19, Saskatchewan; L20, Manitoba; L21, Ontario; and L22, Quebec. L15 and L16 belong to the Pacific Zone; L17, L18, L19, and L20 belong to the Continental Zone; and L21 and L22 belong to the Atlantic Zone. For each pair of time series, the optimal time shift (above the diagonal line), and the correlation (below the diagonal line) are given. Yellow-shaded blocks indicate the geographical zone structure; the lighter shading indicates that the entire Continental region is substructured.
