Use of Lake Areas in Winter by Woodland Caribou
Northeastern Naturalist, 2005Understanding 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, 1990Abstract 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.

Estimating the biomass of woodland caribou forage lichens
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2011Lichens 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. We measured lichens occurring in high enough abundance to serve as a winter food source for woodland ...

A Multiscale Behavioral Approach to Understanding the Movements of Woodland Caribou
Ecological Applications, 2002We 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 ...
