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...
Literature Review - Caribou, Fire, and Forestry
Resource
With of goal of understanding how silviculture and harvesting practices might mirror those of natural disturbances, here we summarize research describing differences in responses of caribou and...
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...
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, Caribou, and Fire: Have we got it Right Yet?
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...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
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.
Nutrition Integrates Environmental Responses of Ungulates
Resource
1. Nutrition influences most aspects of animal ecology: juvenile growth rates and adult mass gain, body condition, probability of pregnancy, over-winter survival, timing of parturition, and neonatal...
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...
Potential Conflict between Future Development of Natural Resources and High-value Wildlife Habitats in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
We used the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northeast British Columbia, Canada as a case study to determine potential conflicts between future resource development and high-value habitats of large...
Predation Risk for Boreal Woodland Caribou in Human-modified Landscapes: Evidence of Wolf Spatial Responses Independent of Apparent Competition
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...
Preliminary Results Presentation: Influence of Forest Harvesting on Predator-prey Dynamics Among Mountain Caribou, Sympatric Ungulates, and Predators
Resource
We investigated the effect of three forest-harvest prescriptions on the co-occurrence of caribou, sympatric ungulates, and predators: unharvested old-growth, clearcut harvesting, and group-selection..
Proactive Conservation of High-value Habitat for Woodland Caribou and Grizzly Bears in the Boreal Zone of British Columbia, Canada
Resource
Highlights • Maintain connectivity to preserve high-value habitats of caribou and grizzly bears. • Avoiding predation risk does not always maintain intact habitat for caribou. • Conserving most...
