“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Flexible migration by woodland caribou in Ontario, Canada

The Journal of Wildlife Management
AbstractRecent studies of ungulate movement ecology suggest that seasonal movement tactics often vary within a population. The forest‐tundra and forest‐dwelling ecotypes of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario, Canada, are traditionally presumed to differ in migratory strategy; however, their potential for facultative migration, the ...

Forest fires, woodland caribou and land use policies in northwestern Ontario (Rangifer tarandus)

, 2004
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are a threatened species in Ontario\u27s boreal forest. Caribou require habitat that supports appropriate forage, including large areas of lichen rich forests.

Bioclimatic, terrain, and specific peatland composition are major drivers of woodland caribou winter habitat suitability in northern Ontario

Mapping of winter habitat suitability is important for the persistence and conservation of at-risk woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)).

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.

Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...

Estimating the biomass of woodland caribou forage lichens

, 2011
Lichens are an important winter food source for woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou ), but quantifying their abundance is difficult. Here, we present an efficient method for assessing lichen biomass at the stand level in boreal forests.
