Experimental Reduction of Wolves in the Yukon: Ungulate Responses and Management Implications
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...
Foothills Model Forest Grizzly Bear Research Program 1999-2003 Final Report
Resource
The Foothills Model Forest Grizzly Bear Research Program was initiated in 1998 with the first year of fieldwork beginning in the spring of 1999. The impetus for undertaking this program resulted from...
Forestry Increases Predation Risk for Caribou
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Forest harvesting changes ungulate densities, which influences caribou predation by shared...
Grizzly Bear Response to Oil and Gas Activities in Alberta
Resource
In 2010 and 2011, the Foothills Research Institute Grizzly Bear Program (FRIGBP) received funding from the Alberta Upstream Petroleum Research Fund (AUPRF) and other program partners to investigate...
Grizzly Bears and Pipelines: Response to Unique Linear Features
Resource
This report includes results from two years of research investigating grizzly bear response to oil and gas pipelines in the Kakwa region of west-central Alberta. We investigated grizzly bear habitat...
How Do You Build a Better Cutblock for Caribou?
Resource
This infographic by Heather Hinam describes the Caribou Conservation through Better Cutblock Design project by the Caribou Program run by fRI Research. The background, methods, and potential uses for...
Impacts of Climate and Catastrophic Forest Changes on Streamflow and Water Balance in a Mountainous Headwater Stream in Southern Alberta
Resource
Rivers in Southern Alberta are vulnerable to climate change because much of the river water originates as snow in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Literature Review - Caribou, Fire, and Forestry
Resource
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...
Lost in Translation? Insights into Caribou Habitat Selection from Forest Inventory Data
Resource
Abstract The gap between research and its implementation is an impediment to conservation of the environment. Translating science into actionable management and policy requires effective communication...
Mapping Resource Selection Functions for Caribou and Wolves in the Chinchaga Caribou Range
Resource
We used GPS telemetry location data from 63 adult caribou and 6 adult wolves to build spatially explicit resource selection function (RSF) rasters. These RSF rasters describe the within-home-range...
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...
