This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Woodland caribou may be an important indicator' or focal species for management agencies because they require large areas to persist and are sensitive to both direct and indirect forms of disturbance. Prior to industrial development in northern regions, it is important to acquire baseline information on areas that are important to local 'herds' as well as to identify physiological and ecological mechanisms of resource selection. I used global positioning system (GPS) data from caribou {Rangifer tarandus caribou), wolves {Canis lupus), and grizzly bears {Ursus arctos), and satellite imagery, resource selection functions, and cause-specific mortality data from 50 caribou neonates to define calving and wintering areas of woodland caribou in northern British Columbia. I identified scale-dependant mechanisms of selection relative to predation risk (calving, summer, winter, and late winter) and forage availability (calving and summer), and energetic costs of movement (winter and late winter) at 2 spatial scales, and quantified the variation in responses to these mechanisms among individual caribou. In all seasons, caribou selected habitats in a hierarchical fashion, and exhibited high variation among individuals. Three unique calving areas, or calving strategies, were defined for the Greater Besa Prophet area; each calving area had different attributes of risk and forage. During calving, spatial separation from areas of high wolf risk was important to parturient females as was access to areas of high vegetative change (i.e., forage quality); animals made trade-off decisions between minimizing the risk of predation and securing forage to address the high nutritional demands of lactation. Calf survival through the first 2 months of life ranged from 54% in 2002 to 79% in 2003. A total of 19 of 50 neonates died during the summers, of which 17 were by predation: wolverines (age of calves 14 d) and wolves (age of calves 18 d) each killed 5 calves. Movements away from calving sites (>1 km) peaked during the third week of life and increased the odds of a neonate surviving by 196%. These movements coincided with a change in vegetative phenology and the high energetic demands of lactation. During winter and late winter, minimizing the energetic costs of movement was the most important parameter in the selection of resources at a smaller spatial scale defined by seasonal movement, whereas Individual caribou showed increased sensitivity to the components of risk at a larger scale of the home range. Variation in the selection of resources by individuals was high, but some similarities facilitated using pooled use/availability data to model resource selection. These pooled models, however, collapsed important biological variation in the selection of resources, limiting biological interpretation of selection models. Variation in the selection of resources among individuals (i.e., plasticity) during all times of the year may be an important life-history strategy for woodland caribou to decrease their predictability on the landscape to major predators. Identifying and maintaining this variation within selection strategies is an important step towards determining the ability of caribou populations to persist in the presence of environmental and anthropogenic disturbance."--Pages ii-iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Far North Caribou Project (FNCP) was initiated in 2008 to support land use and resource planning in the Far North of Ontario using caribou knowledge derived from aerial and ground surveys, remote monitoring through the use of caribou tracked by satellite collars, and aboriginal traditional knowledge. The findings described in this report include: The distribution and movement patterns of caribou in the Far North, How Ontario managers might differentiate between the two boreal woodland caribou ecotypes and use this information to refine the current ecotype boundary, Population dynamics for caribou in the Far North, general habitat use patterns including apparent behaviours exhibited during the calving season, and Insight into caribou ecology and management"--Executive summary.
