Seasonal patterns of mortality for boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in an intact environment
DownloadSpring 2020
Seasonality is an important component in shaping the dynamics that influence ecosystems, including mortality. Animals experience temporal variation in vulnerability to mortality due to interactions among environmental conditions, nutritional condition, age and life stages, and changes in their...

The Role of Human Altered Landscapes and Predators in the Spatial Overlap Between Moose, Wolves, and Endangered Caribou
DownloadFall 2014
Human altered landscapes can cause the endangerment or extinction of a species, not only by a direct loss of habitat but by altering predator-prey relationships. Predators can drive prey to extinction when the density of the predator becomes subsidized by another abundant, alternate prey. Such...
