Corridors or Risk? Movement Along, and Use of, Linear Features Vary Predictably Among Large Mammal Predator and Prey Species
Resource
The objective of this study is to evaluate wolf, black bear, moose and caribou responses to anthropogenic linear features, attempting to determine whether these features are perceived as movement...
