Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
… variation can inform conservation of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), a threatened species with complex population structure and widespread declines across western Canada. Leveraging a long-term (2000 – 2025) broad-scale GPS telemetry dataset from over 1000 individuals across …

Influence of spatial variation in forage availability and predation risk on habitat selection by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario
… I examine site selection by 110 woodland caribou equipped with GPS radio-collars with respect to two fitness-related metrics, forage availability and predation risk, across a broad spatial gradient of forage and risk availability. I found that caribou select habitats that reduce predation …

Assessing cumulative human impacts on northern woodland caribou with traditional ecological knowledge and resource selection functions
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are federally listed and declining across Canada because of the cumulative impacts of human infrastructure development. The Atlin northern mountain herd, in the territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN), British Columbia, is less affected …

Habitat Selection and Range Overlap of Moose and White-tailed Deer in the Boreal Plains of Saskatchewan
… deer (Odocoileus virginianus), boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), and wolves (Canis lupus). White-tailed deer, historically uncommon in boreal forests, have expanded their range over the past 50 years. This expansion raises concerns about apparent competition, where one species …

Resource selection and abundance estimation of moose: Implications for caribou recovery in a human altered landscape
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened across Canada due to human disturbance altering predator-prey dynamics. The niche specialization of caribou enables them to survive in nutrient-poor habitats spatially separated from other ungulates and their shared predators. The …

Resource selection, predation risk, and population dynamics of woodland caribou
<p>Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have experienced population declines and local extirpations across North America. Human disturbance has caused caribou declines indirectly through changes to apparent competition dynamics within the predator-prey community. Apparent competition occurs …

Differential habitat selection of black bears, gray wolves, and boreal caribou in the Boreal Shield of Saskatchewan
Boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as Threatened on Schedule 1 of the Canada Species at Risk Act, and critical habitat for this species is currently being defined across the country. Declines in populations have been driven largely by anthropogenic disturbance, and in …
