Native Prey, Not Landscape Change or Novel Prey, Drive Cougar (Puma concolor) Distribution at a Boreal Forest Range Edge
Resource
Many large carnivores, despite widespread habitat alteration, are rebounding in parts of their former ranges after decades of persecution and exploitation. Cougars (Puma concolor) are apex predator...
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...
No Statistical Support for Wolf Control and Maternal Penning as Conservation Measures for Endangered Mountain Caribou
