Barrier impermeability is associated with migratory ungulate survival rates. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Barriers can affect the movement, migratory patterns, and demographic rates of ungulates. Even in highly remote areas with relatively little development, like northwest Alaska, isolated roads can alter the movements of ungulates such as caribou (Rangifer

Caribou

Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2017
The ever increasing amount of data being handled in data centers causes an intrinsic inefficiency: moving data around is expensive in terms of bandwidth, latency, and power consumption, especially given the low computational complexity of many database operations.

Combining space use with diet data to investigate foraging tactics of black bears in response to the pulsed availability of migratory caribou calves. [PDF]

PLoS One
Migratory caribou (Rangifer tarandus) is a key component of the arctic food web. Female caribou typically gather in late spring to give birth, creating a predictable, ephemeral resource pulse that can influence consumer behavior.

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 ...

Ungulate occurrence in forest harvest blocks is influenced by forage availability, surrounding habitat and silviculture practices

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator–prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk and moose) that prefer early seral forest, resulting in ...

The direct and habitat-mediated influence of climate on the biogeography of boreal caribou in Canada

Climate Change Ecology, 2022
Effective species conservation efforts require insight into whether a species’ extent of occurrence may shift due to changing climate, habitat loss, or both.

Experimental moose reduction lowers wolf density and stops decline of endangered caribou [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The expansion of moose into southern British Columbia caused the decline and extirpation of woodland caribou due to their shared predators, a process commonly referred to as apparent competition.

Combining stable isotopes, morphological, and molecular analyses to reconstruct the diet of free‐ranging consumers

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Accurate estimates of animal diet composition are essential to untangle complex interactions in food webs. Biomarkers and molecular tools are increasingly used to estimate diet, sometimes alongside traditional dietary tracing methods.

Close encounters of the fatal kind: Landscape features associated with central mountain caribou mortalities

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In western Canada, anthropogenic disturbances resulting from resource extraction activities are associated with habitat loss and altered predator–prey dynamics.

‘WildLift’: An Open-Source Tool to Guide Decisions for Wildlife Conservation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
A recurring challenge for resource managers and decision makers is quantifying the trade-offs associated with alternative recovery actions for threatened species.
