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.

Seasonal movement patterns of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)

Journal of Zoology, 2004
AbstractFor species conservation, defining seasons according to an animal's perception and consideration of seasonal differences in its use of space is required. First, a statistical approach was used to determine seasons based on rates of movement of radio‐collared caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou.

Importance of scale, season, and forage availability for understanding the use of recent burns by woodland caribou during winter

Canadian Journal of Forest Research
During winter, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) may avoid burned forest for up to 60 years. Typically, that is the time required for lichens to recover following fire. We examined the response of caribou of the Klaza population (west-central

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

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

Social and seasonal risk assessment by woodland caribou: responses to habitat openness, fire, and roads

Canadian Journal of Zoology
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus Linnaeus, 1758) throughout the boreal forest move and select habitat in a manner that ought to maximize benefits while mitigating costs.

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.

Comparison of pre-fire and post-fire space use reveals varied responses by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in the Boreal Shield

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2020
By regulating successional dynamics in Canada’s boreal forest, fires can affect the distribution of the Threatened woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)).

Multi-scale foraging decisions made by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in summer

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2020
Multi-scale selection patterns can be understood from two perspectives: coarse-scale patterns as the summation of fine-scale patterns (scaling-up), or as a hierarchy produced from multiple contributory factors with differential effects on organismal ...

Suckling, weaning, and growth in captive woodland caribou

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1992
To delimit the different stages of the weaning process and to understand the relationship between suckling and growth, the evolution of suckling performance and mother–young interactions associated with milk transfer was closely monitored in a group of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) from birth up to 160 days.

Validation of a Demographic Model for Woodland Caribou

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2010
Abstract: Wildlife population models are potentially valuable for conservation planning. Validation is necessary to ensure that models are sufficiently robust for predicting management outcomes consistent with conservation objectives. Sorensen et al. (2008) produced a model of woodland caribou (
