Anthropogenic Disturbance and Population Viability of Woodland Caribou in Ontario [PDF]

, 2020
One of the most challenging tasks in wildlife conservation and management is to clarify how spatial variation in land cover due to anthropogenic disturbance influences wildlife demography and long‐term viability.

Investigating conservation performance payments alongside human–wildlife conflicts: The Swedish lynx and wolverine protection policies

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.

Interannual spectral consistency and spatial uncertainties in UAV‐based detection of boreal and subarctic mire plant communities

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
UAVs provide high spatial resolution imagery to detect and assess the spatial complexity of peatland vegetation. We used interannual multispectral data from aapa and palsa mires in Finland to classify plant communities using Random Forest. Based on class membership probabilities, we generated maps showing the second most likely classes and an ...

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...

Will ecosystem management supply woodland caribou habitat in northwestern Ontario?

Rangifer, 1998
Ecosystem management is emerging as an important concept in managing forests. Although the basic conceptual idea is not new, important defining principles are developing that elucidate some of the specific attributes of ecosystem management.

Why are our roe deer short of breath? – prevalence and promotive factors of lung parasites in roe deer Capreolus capreolus in south‐eastern Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The existence of bronchopulmonary nematodes in German roe deer Capreolus capreolus is well documented, with two types of lung parasites that have been described previously: Dictyocaulus capreolus and Varestrongylus capreoli. However, little is known about the impact of these parasites on their host animal or which parameters influence outbreak and ...

Winter browsing by moose (Alces alces) in a forested mountainous landscape of west–central Sweden

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Browsing ecology involving ungulates and their food resource is complex as consumption may reflect responses to various factors, such as quantity and quality of browse species. This study investigated winter browsing by moose Alces alces in a mountainous landscape of west–central Sweden, characterized by Norway spruce Picea abies production forests ...

Comparative patterns of winter habitat use by muskoxen and caribou in northern Alaska [PDF]

, 1992
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1992Snow depth and hardness strongly influenced selection of feeding zones, (i.e., those areas used for foraging), in late winter by both muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) and caribou (Rangifer tarandus grand) in ...
