Heightened threats to small woodland caribou populations in Canada and key considerations for their persistence Menaces pesant sur les petites populations de caribou des bois au Canada et considérations essentielles à leur rétablissement

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 227, Issue 1, November 2026.
Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...

Wetland habitat selection by woodland caribou as characterized using the Alberta Wetland Inventory

Rangifer, 2011
We examined habitat selection by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in northwestern Alberta based on a wetland classification system developed for the Alberta Vegetation Inventory. Our two objectives were to describe caribou habitat use, and to

Genetic influences on male and female variance in reproductive success and implications for the recovery of severely endangered mountain caribou

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Small and declining populations of large mammals are vulnerable to stochastic events and can be at high risk of extinction. Population viability is also susceptible to the detrimental effects of low genetic diversity and inbreeding. The objective of this
