Spatial familial networks to infer demographic structure of wild populations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7345
Abstract: Abstract In social species, reproductive success and rates of dispersal vary among individuals resulting in spatially structured populations. Network analyses of familial relationships may provide insights on how these parameters influence population‐level demographic patterns. These… read more here.

Impacts of spruce budworm defoliation on the habitat of woodland caribou, moose, and their main predators

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8695
Abstract: Abstract Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce budworm (SBW) outbreaks. Using 6201 vegetation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8742
Abstract: Abstract Documenting trophic niche partitioning and resource use within a community is critical to evaluate underlying mechanisms of coexistence, competition, or predation. Detailed knowledge about foraging is essential as it may influence the vital rates,… read more here.

Fast, slow, and adaptive management of habitat modification–invasion interactions: woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1970
Abstract: Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are declining throughout much of their North American range. In Alberta, industrial development is the major driver for the disturbance to caribou habitat and ecosystem dynamics involving the invasion of other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21209
Abstract: Understanding the limiting factors of a prey population is important before and during predator control programs, and optimal intensive management of an increasing prey population requires formal recognition of a sustainable population size. The migratory… read more here.

Disturbance and chronic levels of cortisol in boreal woodland caribou
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Wildlife Management"
DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21288
Abstract: Disturbance by anthropogenic activities may cause chronic (long-term) stress in wildlife and contribute to population declines. Although declines of boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) across Canada have been attributed to anthropogenic disturbance, the physiological… read more here.

Predation risk for boreal woodland caribou in human-modified landscapes: Evidence of wolf spatial responses independent of apparent competition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.09.015
Abstract: Abstract Management of wildlife often relies upon understanding mechanisms linking anthropogenic disturbance to population declines. The most-cited mechanism by which disturbance threatens boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) is the exacerbation of apparent competition via increases… read more here.
