Climate change mitigation through woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) habitat restoration in British Columbia

Environmental Research: Ecology
Climate change poses a significant global threat, requiring rapid and effective mitigation strategies to limit future warming. Tree planting is a commonly proposed and readily implementable natural climate solution.

Impacts of spruce budworm defoliation on the habitat of woodland caribou, moose, and their main predators. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce budworm (SBW) outbreaks. Using 6201 vegetation plots from

Evaluating the use of hair as a non-invasive indicator of trace mineral status in woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou). [PDF]

PLoS One, 2022
Trace mineral imbalances can have significant effects on animal health, reproductive success, and survival. Monitoring their status in wildlife populations is, therefore, important for management and conservation.

Effect of forest understorey stand density on woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) habitat selection [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou Gmelin,1788) use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators.

Woodland caribou calving fidelity: Spatial location, habitat, or both? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Individuals that isolate themselves to give birth can use more than one strategy in choosing birth sites to maximize reproductive success. Previous research has focused on the consistency in the use of the same birth‐site across years (i.e., spatial ...

Anthropogenic Disturbance and Population Viability of Woodland Caribou in Ontario

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2020
One of the most challenging tasks in wildlife conservation and management is to clarify how spatial variation in land cover due to anthropogenic disturbance in fl uences wildlife demography and long ‐ term viability. To evaluate this, we compared rates of

Use of island and mainland shorelines by woodland caribou during the nursery period in two northern Ontario parks

Rangifer, 2011
Predation is considered a primary limiting factor of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations across North America. Caribou are especially vulnerable to predation during their first few weeks of life and have evolved space-use strategies ...

Phylogeographical analysis of mtDNA data indicates postglacial expansion from multiple glacial refugia in woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Glacial refugia considerably shaped the phylogeographical structure of species and may influence intra-specific morphological, genetic, and adaptive differentiation.
