He says they're finding that mismatched hares die at higher rates. That's a concern for the threatened Canada lynx, which mainly eats these hares. I'm wondering how these mismatched hares might be dying? Could it be that those with the wrong color coat are being eaten? By, say, Canadian Lynxes? And that is bad for the Lynxes how?

The bobcat/hare population cycle is something I learned about at a very early age in Michigan. I couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 years old when I learned it.
Its common knowledge, when hare numbers are high, bobcat numbers rise, when bobcat numbers rise, hare numbers fall followed by falling bobcat numbers.

Look for a Save the Obese Lynx organization to start scamming people.
