Moose Habitat and Populations in Alberta Boreal and Foothills Regions: Literature Review
Resource
Moose occur across the northern Boreal and Foothills of Alberta (Alces alces). Their core range is in mid- and west-central Alberta and supports the highest densities of moose in the province. The...
Moose Response to Disturbance in West-central Alberta
Project
Contact
Organization:
This Caribou Program project examines how moose respond to different re-vegetation trajectories after disturbance. This will give re-vegetation prescriptions that favour moose less, and therefore are...
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...
Motorized Human Use of Legacy Seismic Lines
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project DescriptionOff-Highway vehicles are widely used on these seismic lines and can hamper vegetative re-growth because of ongoing physical damage and compaction. Understanding where motorized...
Movement of Predators Influenced by Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the Caribou Program (and GIS and Grizzly Bear Programs) breaks down how seismic lines are influencing predator movement by season and species. This infographic was illustrated by Jennifer...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Parallel Evolution of Site‐specific Changes in Divergent Caribou Lineages
Resource
The parallel evolution of phenotypes or traits within or between species provides important insight into the basic mechanisms of evolution. Genetic and genomic advances have allowed investigations...
Population Dynamics of Caribou Shaped by Glacial Cycles Before the Last Glacial Maximum
Resource
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
Population Structure of Caribou in an Ice-bound Archipelago
Resource
This 2018 academic paper suggests that, based on genetics, the Baffin Island population of caribou should be treated as a separate “designatable unit” under the classification system for the Committee...
Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Predator and Prey in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Deer, elk, and moose are apparent competitors for caribou because they draw predators...
Predator–prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry - Summary
Resource
We investigated the attributes of harvest blocks associated with the highest occupancy and/or co-occurrence of ungulates and predators, with the goal of providing practical information for best forest...
Predicting Off-Highway Vehicle Use on Seismic Lines
Resource
This infographic was created by Jennifer Hird as part of the paper " Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts."
Proceedings of a Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for a Watershed Assessment Model (WAM)
