Unusual predation attempts of polar bears on ringed seals in the southern beaufort sea: Possible significance of changing spring ice conditions
Download2008
Richardson, E., Stirling, I., Thiemann, G.W., Derocher, A.E.
In April and May 2003 through 2006, unusually rough and rafted sea ice extended for several tens of kilometres offshore in the southeastern Beaufort Sea from about Atkinson Point to the Alaska border. Hunting success of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) seeking seals was low despite extensive...

Understanding how populations are structured and how they use natural and anthropogenic spaces is essential for effective wildlife management. A total of 510 barren-ground (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus), 176 boreal (R. t. caribou), 11 mountain woodland (R. t. caribou), and 39 island (R. t....

Walking in Their Footsteps: New Approaches to Identify Behavioural Processes and Define Home Ranges Using Animal Movement Data
DownloadFall 2014
Animal movement and space-use patterns influence the distribution and abundance of species, predator-prey interactions, and many other ecological processes. Different approaches are used to study individual's space-use strategies and each approach suffers from unique challenges. The mechanistic...

Hoskin, B., Wilk, J., Woolnough, K., Nietfeld, M.
This manual attempts to summarize and highlight information to assist in defining species habitat relationships relevant to Alberta environments and for a number of Alberta wildlife species. The degree of specificity of the summaries, in part or whole, varies according to the background...

Understanding strategies for maximizing foraging efficiency is central to behavioural ecology. The theoretical optimal olfactory search is crosswind, however empirical evidence of anemotaxis (orientation to wind) among carnivores is sparse. Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a sea ice dependent...

Wolf Reproduction in Response to Caribou Migration and Industrial Development on the Central Barrens of Mainland Canada
Download2008
Cluff, H.D., Frame, P.F., Hik, D.S.
Reproductive success of mammals is greatly influenced by food availability. Where wolves (Canis lupus) prey on migratory barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus), caribou migration patterns strongly influence food availability for wolves. However, industrial development in formerly undeveloped...

Studies of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in the Birch Mountains of northeastern Alberta were conducted from January 1976 through June 1978. Twenty-nine caribou were radio collared and repeatedly located from fixed wing aircraft. Eight capture-related deaths were associated with...
