Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Movement pathways and habitat selection by woodland caribou during spring migration

Rangifer, 2005
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are a threatened species throughout Canada. Special management is therefore required to ensure habitat needs are met, particularly because much of their current distribution is heavily influenced by resource ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Instruments for Forest Habitat Connectivity

The School of Public Policy Publications, 2017
In places such as the boreal forest of Northern Alberta, where demands for energy and forest products are growing, it is necessary to balance economic development activities on the land with the environmental services the land can provide.

Caribou, military jets and noise: The interplay of behavioural ecology and evolutionary psychology

Rangifer, 2003
Whether a human activity is likely to have a negative impact on a species depends largely on how stimuli from that activity are interpreted and acted upon by individuals, within the context of their behavioural ecology.

Influence of ground substrate on establishment of reindeer lichen after artificial dispersal [PDF]

, 2007
Methods to improve the recovery of reindeer lichen after soil disturbance or overgrazing are being sought for areas where reindeer are herded. The effects of four substrates – mineral soil, moss, twigs and pine bark – on the establishment of lichen ...

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Status and trends of Rangifer tarandus and Ovibos moschatus populations in Canada

Rangifer, 1992
We identified 97 Rangifer tarandus and 17 Ovibos moschatus populations in Canada. In July 1991, the Canadian populations totalled 1.9 to 2.6 million caribou, 13 600 reindeer and 108 600 muskoxen.

Behavioral and demographic effects of open‐pit mining on Central Mountain Caribou in British Columbia

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The demographic manifestation of mining effects on caribou, a species listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, has been disputed. We characterized a cascade of events for caribou associated with open‐pit coal mining beginning with maladaptive behavior responses leading to negative demographic outcomes for the affected caribou ...

Preliminary analysis of habitat utilization by woodland caribou in northwestern Ontario using satellite telemetry

Rangifer, 1998
Locational data collected over a one year period from 10 female woodland caribou, Rangifer tarandus caribou, collared with Argos satellite collars in northwestern Ontario, Canada were superimposed on supervised Landsat images using Geographical ...
