Linear Features, Forestry and Wolf Predation of Caribou and Other Prey in West Central Alberta
Resource
The primary goal of this research was to determine how human activities affect caribou population dynamics through modification of predator‐prey relationships. This knowledge can then be used to...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Predicting the Cumulative Effects of Human Development on Biodiversity in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). 2012 AUPRF project status update
Resource
Avoidance by caribou and increased wolf predation risk in disturbed areas indicate functional habitat loss for caribou, yet these patterns alone do not necessarily imply a demographic impact. Spatial...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges)
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances contribute to the way animals perceive and respond to their environment. These multiple disturbances can additionally act in non-independent ways to shape an animal’s...
Taking Care of Caribou: The Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East Barren-ground Caribou Herds Management Plan
Resource
There is no management board for this herd, but there is a management plan. The plan was prepared under the authority of the Advisory Committee for Cooperation on Wildlife Management. This group...
The Alberta Boreal Deer Project
Project
Contact
Alberta’s woodland caribou populations are declining, and wolf predation is considered a primary cause (Wittmer et al. 2005). Predation increases where seismic line density is high (ASRD 2010), so...
The Alberta Boreal Deer Project: 2013 Report to PTAC
Resource
Woodland caribou are declining in Alberta’s northeast, and increased predation following elevated wolf densities is implicated. Wolf numbers are increasing in part due to white-tailed deer, which...
Use of Anthropogenic Linear Features by Alternative Predators in Woodland Caribou Range
Resource
In this study, we examined seasonal coyote and black bear use of industrial linear features and rivers and streams (i.e. natural linear features). We used two methods to assess movement behavior...
Video - An Ecosystem Approach to Natural Landscapes Management
Resource
Dr. David Andison is program lead of the fRI Healthy Landscapes program. He begins by explaining the "Why" of ecosystem management and how current approaches to land management fragments the landscape...
Video - Caribou and Development in West-Central AB/BC
Resource
Marco Musiani talks about research on caribou and development in west-central Alberta and British Columbia. An Associate Professor for the University of Calgary, Muisiani shows and explains the...
Video - Caribou and Development in West-Central Alberta and British-Columbia
Resource
Marco Musiani talks about research on caribou and development in west-central Alberta and British Columbia.
Video - Interview on Advisory Committee for Cooperation on Wildlife Management
Resource
Ever wonder how different jurisdictions cooperate on caribou management? Here's one example. An interview with Jody Pellissey, Executive Director of the Wekʼèezhìi Renewable Resources Board about the...
We have been Living with the Caribou all our Lives: A Report on Information Recorded during Community Meetings
Resource
A 196-page report from 2014 from The Advisory Committee for Cooperation on Wildlife Management (a collection of wildlife management/renewable resources boards from the NWT and Nunavut). This report...
Woodland Caribou Calving Areas and Calf Survival in Relation to Habitat Selection, Anthropogenic Disturbance, and Exposure to Predation Risk
Project
Contact
Organization:
This project addresses important knowledge gaps identified by PTAC: boreal woodland caribou calving habitat selection and wildlife (including predator) use of anthropogenic features associated with...
