Fecal DNA, Hormones, and Pellet Morphometrics as a Noninvasive Method to Estimate Age Class: An Application to Wild Populations of Central Mountain and Boreal Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus Caribou)
Resource
Study tests a noninvasive method via fecal DNA, hormones, and pellet morphometrics to distinguish calf from adult in Central Mountain and Boreal woodland caribou populations.
From Diet to Hair and Blood: Empirical Estimation of Discrimination Factors for C and N Stable Isotopes in Five Terrestrial Mammals
Resource
Abstract Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios are used widely to describe wildlife animal diet composition and trophic interactions. To reconstruct consumer diet, the isotopic differences between...

Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
Lowering the Rate of Timber Harvesting to Mitigate Impacts of Climate Change on Boreal Caribou Habitat Quality in Eastern Canada
Resource
This study evaluates how climate change will affect boreal caribou habitat over the 2030–2100 horizon and in a 9.94 Mha study area, using a climate-sensitive simulation ensemble that integrates...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
