Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Historical Landscape Use of Migratory Caribou: New Insights From Old Antlers
Resource
Accumulations of shed caribou antlers ( Rangifer tarandus) are valuable resources for expanding the temporal scope with which we evaluate seasonal landscape use of herds. Female caribou shed their...
Identifying Indirect Habitat Loss and Avoidance of Human Infrastructure by Northern Mountain Woodland Caribou
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Increasing Fire Frequency and Severity Will Increase Habitat Loss for a Boreal Forest Indicator Species
Resource
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest communities. These forest...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
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...
Linking Habitat, Populations and Policy for Caribou in The Face of Increasing Disturbance
Resource
This thesis analyzes female caribou resource selection response to fires and links disturbances to caribou behavior and demography throughout western Canada by relating resource selection responses to...
Managing Wolves (Canis Lupus) to Recover Threatened Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) in Alberta
Resource
Across Canada, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in apparent competition-induced...
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
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...
Nutrition Integrates Environmental Responses of Ungulates
Resource
1. Nutrition influences most aspects of animal ecology: juvenile growth rates and adult mass gain, body condition, probability of pregnancy, over-winter survival, timing of parturition, and neonatal...
