Silviculture Treatments Hasten Seedling Growth on Seismic Disturbances in Boreal Treed Fens
Resource
Seismic lines in western Canada's boreal region are linear disturbances that affect the habitat of threatened woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou). To hasten the return of forest cover and...
Space-use Behaviour of Woodland Caribou Based on a Cognitive Movement Model
Resource
Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote landscapes...
Species and Areas Under Protection: Challenges and Opportunities for the Canadian Northern Corridor
Resource
This paper is part of a special series in The School of Public Policy Publications, investigating a concept that would connect the nation’s southern infrastructure to a new series of corridors across...
Specifying Caribou Migratory Behaviours to Identify and Preserve Intraspecies Diversity
Resource
Abstract: Preserving intraspecies diversity, a fundamental conservation goal, strengthens species adaptability. Across most of their range, caribou are declining, with some recent population...
Spring Diet of American Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in a Moose (Alces alces) – Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) System in Northern Ontario, Canada
Resource
American black bears can be predators of ungulates, especially neonates. In this study in northern Ontario, there was no evidence of caribou consumption.
