Fall 2011
Estimating annual wolf kill rates and composition is important for assessing the impact of wolves on their prey and managing wolf-ungulate dynamics. Most studies have focused on kill rates of wolves in winter or single-ungulate dominated systems. I used high intensity GPS tracking combined with...

Snowfall, travel speed, and seismic lines: The effects of snow conditions on wolf movement paths in boreal Alberta
DownloadSpring 2016
In the winter, snow can present a major challenge to large mammals by impeding locomotion, limiting food availability, and imposing additional energetic costs during travel. This thesis examines the effects of snow conditions on the fine-scale movement patterns of grey wolves (Canis lupus) in a...

Spatial Predation Risk and Interactions Within a Predator Community on the Rocky Mountains East Slopes, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2019
Understanding how large carnivores spatially partition the landscape is essential for understanding how they collectively pose risk to their prey. Most research on predation risk focuses on how prey respond to a single predator species, but prey respond to a community of predators. Additionally,...
