Avoidance of Industrial Development by Woodland Caribou

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2001
Rapid encroachment on woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) habitat by resource extraction industries (oil, gas, forestry, and peat) is occurring throughout northern Alberta, Canada. The effect of this human development on the movement and distribution of threatened woodland caribou remains poorly understood.

A protostrongylid nematode (Strongylida: Protostrongylidae) in woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1976
First-stage protostrongylid larvae found in faeces of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in northwestern Ontario and Manitoba may be larvae of Elaphostrongylus sp., a well-known agent of neurologic disease in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) of Eurasia.

A Multiscale Behavioral Approach to Understanding the Movements of Woodland Caribou

Ecological Applications, 2002
We assessed the response of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) to land-cover type, predation risk, energetic costs of movement, and patch configuration at multiple spatial scales. We applied a nonlinear model to frequent locations collected with Global Positioning System (GPS) collars to identify discontinuities in the scales of movement by ...

IN VITRO ISOLATION AND CULTIVATION OF A BABESIA FROM AN AMERICAN WOODLAND CARIBOU (RANGIFER TARANDUS CARIBOU)

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1994
A Babesia species isolated from a captive caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) with clinical signs of babesiosis and a circulating parasitemia was cultured in vitro. Normal adult caribou erythrocytes supported the growth of the Babesia sp., as did erythrocytes from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

Use of Lake Areas in Winter by Woodland Caribou

Northeastern Naturalist, 2005
Understanding space-use patterns of highly mobile animals, such as woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou Gmelin), is required for ecosystem conservation. We consider the use of lakes in winter as important habitat for woodland caribou both to reduce predation risk and acquire food.

Spring migration and dispersion of woodland caribou at calving

Animal Behaviour, 1990
Abstract Each spring from 1975 to 1985, a small herd of caribou, Rangifer tarandus , migrated in April to the islands in Lake Nipigon, Ontario where they remained for the summer. Three hypotheses for this migration were: (1) to reduce insect harassment, (2) to seek more abundant or nutritious forage, or (3) to reduce predation risk.

Woodland caribou population dynamics in Northeastern Alberta

1980
Studies of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in the Birch Mountains of northeastern Alberta were conducted from January 1976 through June 1978. Twenty-nine caribou were radio collared and repeatedly located from fixed wing aircraft. Eight capture-related deaths were associated with increased stress (hazing and handling time) and slow or ...
