Understory Forage on Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the fRI Research Caribou Program investigates seismic lines for their abundance of forage plants, which could attract predators of caribou such as bears as well as alternate prey for...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices - Summary
Resource
In Canada, the young forests created by harvesting have shifted the distribution and abundance of deer, elk, and moose. A consequence is unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators like bears...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices
Resource
Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator– prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk and moose)...
Unravelling the Impacts of Disturbance Type and Regeneration on Movement of Threatened Species
Resource
Impact of disturbance on the daily movement of two large threatened mammals, and examined the nuances of movement response to type and regeneration of disturbance across seasons.
Using camera traps to estimate density and population composition of deer, moose, and elk
Project
Organization:
Aerial surveys are the primary method to assess ungulate population size, demographics, and trends in Alberta. These estimates are used to set hunting license allocations and determine priority areas...
Vegetation Recovery on Legacy Seismic Lines
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description:Despite decades of research assessing wildlife response to seismic lines, little is known about the effects of seismic line clearing on the quality of understory forage for...
Video - An Ecosystem Approach to Natural Landscapes Management
Resource
Dr. David Andison is program lead of the fRI Healthy Landscapes program. He begins by explaining the "Why" of ecosystem management and how current approaches to land management fragments the landscape...
Video - Caribou and Development in West-Central AB/BC
Resource
Marco Musiani talks about research on caribou and development in west-central Alberta and British Columbia. An Associate Professor for the University of Calgary, Muisiani shows and explains the...
Walking the Line: Investigating Biophysical Characteristics Related to Wildlife Use of Linear Features
Resource
Habitat restoration is a necessary component of wildlife conservation in anthropogenic landscapes. To ensure restoration initiatives achieve the desired effects on wildlife communities, it is useful...
Webinar - Predators, Prey, and Harvest Blocks in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Resource
The links between habitat disturbance, primary prey, shared predators, and decreasing caribou populations are well established, and long-term solutions for caribou recovery will require management to...
Which Linear Feature Characteristics Relate to Wildlife Use?
Resource
Linear feature restoration is aimed at conserving woodland caribou by deterring use by predators and other ungulate prey. This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Erin...
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Moose (Alces alces) Response to Linear Features
Resource
Linear features are pervasive across the boreal forest of Canada, negatively impacting several wildlife species. Understanding how wildlife responds to different types and characteristics of linear...

Wildlife Response to Forest Stands Impacted by Mountain Pine Beetle in western Canada
Project
Organization:
Both the spread of mountain pine beetle and actions taken to slow its spread have wide ranging effects on wildlife, including species at risk such as caribou. The goals of this project is to provide...
Wildlife responses to forest stands impacted by mountain pine beetle in western Canada
Resource
This is a science summary from fRI Research describing their project to explore the impacts of mountain pine beetle and mountain pine beetle mitigation on wildlife in western Canada.
Woodland Caribou Calving Areas and Calf Survival in Relation to Habitat Selection, Anthropogenic Disturbance, and Exposure to Predation Risk
Project

This project addresses important knowledge gaps identified by PTAC: boreal woodland caribou calving habitat selection and wildlife (including predator) use of anthropogenic features associated with...
Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Avoid Wellsite Activity During Winter
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) are threatened in Alberta in part due to the development of oil and gas resources. To inform best management practices for caribou, we assessed how proximity to...
