High-Resolution Minirhizotrons Advance our Understanding of Root-Fungal Dynamics in an Experimentally Warmed Peatland
Resource
Mycorrhizal fungi enable plants to thrive in the cold, waterlogged, organic soils of boreal peatlands and, with saprotrophic fungi, largely contribute to the sequestration of atmospheric carbon in...
Intrinsic Traits of Woodland Caribou Rangifer tarandus Calves Depredated by Black Bears Ursus americanus and Coyotes Canis latrans
Resource
Individuals in substandard physical condition are predicted to be more vulnerable to predation. Support for this prediction is inconsistent partly as a result of differences across systems in the life...
Large Animal Models for Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease of cervid species including deer, elk, moose and reindeer. The disease has shown both geographic and species expansion since...
Living in a Burned Landscape: Woodland Caribou Use of Postfire Residual Patches for Calving in a High Fire - Low Anthropogenic Boreal Shield Ecozone
Resource
We tested [the potential habitat value of postfire residuals] using 2 years of GPS data obtained from 56 female caribou to identify calving site selection. 79 calving events were identified from...
