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 …

WOODLAND CARIBOU AS ECOLOGICAL DRIVERS OF FIR WITCHES' BROOM INFECTIONS ON THE SLATE ISLANDS
<p>Woodland caribou herbivory on The Slate Islands altered the forest landscape and ground flora resulting in the emergence of the rust fungi, <em>Melampsorella caryophyllacearum</em>. This rust alternates between chickweeds and balsam fir, where it causes a broom deformity. My study identified …

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 …

General biology of woodland caribou based on collection of local and traditional knowledge in north-central Saskatchewan
Woodland caribou are listed as a threatened species in Saskatchewan. The need for contemporary data is paramount for conservation of this species. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of threats to woodland caribou: forestry and logging, road development and expansion, mineral …

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOODLAND CARIBOU, SOIL CARBON CYCLING AND SOIL FERTILITY ON THE SLATE ISLANDS ARCHIPELAGO IN ONTARIO, CANADA
… investigated biogeochemical connections between woodland caribou (<em>Rangifer </em><em>tarandus caribou</em>) herbivory, vegetation, soil fertility, and soil carbon cycling on the Slate Islands Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. Woodland caribou are threatened in Ontario, and the caribou …

Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
… behavioural 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 …

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 …

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 …
