Meeting Caribou in the Alpine: Do Moose Compete with Caribou for Food?
Resource
The Atlantic-Gaspesie caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an endangered, isolated population that has been declining for decades in response to intensive logging. Timber harvesting has led to a...
Merging Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge Links Climate with the Growth of a Large Migratory Caribou Population
Resource
Climate change in the Arctic is two to three times faster than anywhere else in the world. It is therefore crucial to understand the effects of weather on keystone arctic species, particularly those...
Moose Habitat and Populations in Alberta Boreal and Foothills Regions: Literature Review
Resource
Moose occur across the northern Boreal and Foothills of Alberta (Alces alces). Their core range is in mid- and west-central Alberta and supports the highest densities of moose in the province. The...
Moose Response to Disturbance in West-central Alberta
Project
Contact
Organization:
This Caribou Program project examines how moose respond to different re-vegetation trajectories after disturbance. This will give re-vegetation prescriptions that favour moose less, and therefore are...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Motorized Human Use of Legacy Seismic Lines
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project DescriptionOff-Highway vehicles are widely used on these seismic lines and can hamper vegetative re-growth because of ongoing physical damage and compaction. Understanding where motorized...
Movement of Predators Influenced by Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the Caribou Program (and GIS and Grizzly Bear Programs) breaks down how seismic lines are influencing predator movement by season and species. This infographic was illustrated by Jennifer...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We used complementary approaches to assess natal habitat preference induction in a marked population of woodland caribou. All approaches compared the behavior of calves in their...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Resource
...three complementary approaches to assess NHPI in a marked population: (a) population‐based resource selection functions (RSFs), (b) individual‐based RSFs, and (c) behavioral repeatability analyses.
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Overcoming Challenges of Sparse Telemetry Data to Estimate Caribou Movement
Resource
Sparse data sets, such as VHF collar locations, can be used to fit movement models whose parameters could not be estimated directly from the data.
Population Ecology of Caribou Populations Without Predators: Southampton and Coats Island Herds
Resource
This paper is a review of the ecology of two caribou populations inhabiting predator-free northern islands, Coats and Southampton Island. Findings are analyzed in light of the hypothesis that in...
Predator and Prey in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Deer, elk, and moose are apparent competitors for caribou because they draw predators...
Predator–prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry - Summary
Resource
We investigated the attributes of harvest blocks associated with the highest occupancy and/or co-occurrence of ungulates and predators, with the goal of providing practical information for best forest...
Predicting Off-Highway Vehicle Use on Seismic Lines
Resource
This infographic was created by Jennifer Hird as part of the paper " Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts."
Proceedings of a Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for a Watershed Assessment Model (WAM)
Resource
Report of proceedings from a workshop to produce a strategic plan for developing a Watershed Assessment Model and identifying key project events.
Range Fidelity: The Missing Link Between Caribou Decline and Habitat Alteration?
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
