Predation and caribou populations
Rangifer, 1991 Predation, especially wolf (Canis lupus) predation, limits many North American caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations below the density that food resources could sustain. The impact of predation depends on the parameters for the functional and numerical

Predator–prey co‐occurrence in harvest blocks: Implications for caribou and forestry
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 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 cascading impacts on other species, including threatened ...
