Assessing Pathogen Prevalence and the Health of Ungulates in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Project
Contact
This project will gather data on the disease and parasites carried by moose, deer, and elk to determine the risk of transmission to caribou. Land managers need to know the threats faced by caribou in...
Behaviour and Calving Success of Boreal Caribou in Relation to Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbance like oil and gas development is thought to negatively affect boreal caribou through displacement and degradation of habitat, and through creation of favourable conditions for...
Caribou Conservation Through Better Cutblock Design
Project
Contact
Organization:
Beginning in 2018, this project will investigate how cutblock design can be less favourable for deer, moose, and elk. Converting old forest to early seral stands through forest harvesting turns good...

With of goal of understanding how silviculture and harvesting practices might mirror those of natural disturbances, here we summarize research describing differences in responses of caribou and...
Caribou in the Cross-fire? Considering Terrestrial Lichen Forage in the Face of Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) Expansion
Resource
Abstract Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has become an invasive forest pest of mature pine in western North America as it spreads beyond its former endemic range. Management actions such as timber harvest...
Caribou Mortality and Disease Prevalence in West-central Alberta
Resource
Woodland caribou are in decline across their range and although the proximate cause of decline is unsustainable rates of predation, health is increasingly recognised as a factor that may contribute to...
Caribou Response to Oil and Gas Activities: Do Regeneration and Activity Levels Matter?

Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind: Landscape Features Associated with Central Mountain Caribou Mortalities
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, anthropogenic disturbances resulting from resource extraction activities are associated with habitat loss and altered predator–prey dynamics. These habitat changes are...
