Forest and fire drive moose (deníe) detections near their northern range limit

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One way to understand species range shifts in response to anthropogenic climate change is to study populations living at the limit of climate and resource suitability. Moose Alces alces (deníe in Dënesųłıné) generally require forest–wetland landscape complexes but are increasingly seen across the forest–tundra transition at their northern range limit ...

Habitat Restoration as a Key Conservation Lever for Woodland Caribou: A review of restoration programs and key learnings from Alberta

open access: yesRangifer, 2015
The Recovery Strategy for the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population in Canada (EC, 2012), identifies coordinated actions to reclaim woodland caribou habitat as a key step to meeting current and future caribou population ...

Localized resources enable noninvasive genetic monitoring of small populations of mountain ungulates

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using microsatellite analysis of fecal samples collected at mineral licks from 2019–2022, we assessed abundance, apparent survival and genetics of bighorn sheep in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Annual abundance estimates ranged from 118−132 individuals split into 2 similar‐sized demes and apparent survival estimates ranged from 0.72–0.92.

Mating strategies of woodland caribou: Rangifer tarandus caribou

open access: yes, 1986
Mating behavior of woodland caribou, Rangifer tarandus caribou, was studied in populations from contrasting environments that were expected to influence reproductive tactics. A small population of caribou on Brunette Island (Newfoundland) lived at high density in mostly open habitat, without predators.

Caribou conservation and recovery in Ontario: development and implementation of the Caribou Conservation Plan

open access: yesRangifer, 2012
The range of Ontario’s woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) (forest-dwelling ecotype) has receded northward substantially over many decades, leading to its current Threatened designation.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Reproductive success under constraints: Does increased maternal activity during lactation offset poor habitat and individual quality in an income breeder?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐induced environmental modifications may alter forage access and, hence, how animals manage energy trade‐offs during critical periods. Reproduction, especially lactation, is the most energetically costly process for female mammals.

Successful and unsuccessful attempts to resolve caribou management and timber harvesting issues in west central Alberta

open access: yesRangifer, 1996
Research studies of woodland caribou in west central Alberta began in 1979 in response to proposed timber harvesting on their winter ranges. Using results from initial studies, timber harvest guidelines were developed. A recent review of these guidelines,
