Download or read book Seasonal Movements Habitat Use and Winter Feeding Ecology of Woodland Caribou in West central British Columbia written by Deborah Bernadette Cichowski and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West-Central BC Caribou Research Project was set up to investigate potential effects of logging on caribou in the Tweedsmuir-Entiako and Itcha-Ilgachuz-Rainbow areas. The original studies were expanded to include more intensive investigations of winter range and population parameters. The objectives of the project were to determine seasonal movements, habitat use and food habits of caribou in these areas, especially during winter so that logging guidelines compatible with caribou winter habitat use could be developed; and to determine population size, calf production, and calf and adult survival, so that current population status and limiting factors could be determined. This report summarizes results on caribou seasonal movements, habitat use and food habits. The report discusses methods for capture and marking, seasonal movements and habitat use, snow measurements, winter feeding ecology and fecal analyses. Results and discussion are also provided for these as well as for winter forest cover type use.
Download or read book Habitat Use and Seasonal Movements by Woodland Caribou in East central British Columbia written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks initiated the Mountain Caribou and Managed Forests program in response to forestry conflicts related to timber harvesting in the caribou's winter range. This report provides information from the radio-telemetry component of the program, 1988-91, designed to determine seasonal movements and habitat use patterns by mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) east of Prince George, British Columbia. The data focus on seasonal habitat selection within the Engelmann spruce/subalpine fir biogeoclimatic zone, where mountain caribou spend the winter foraging on arboreal lichens. The results presented include the types of forest stands used by the caribou, when those sites were used, and seasonal use of slopes.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Graham River Caribou Study was initiated in 1988 with two objectives: identify seasonal ranges of caribou in & adjacent to Engelmann spruce subalpine fir forests of the Rocky Mountain foothills in British Columbia between Williston Reservoir & Cypress Creek; and monitor seasonal movement patterns, with special emphasis on identifying use of forested habitats with potential for forest development. This report summarizes the results of the Study from its inception to May 1994. In the study, caribou were captured and fitted with radio collars for subsequent monitoring by radio telemetry from aircraft. Study methods are described and results are presented & discussed with regard to seasonal use of forest cover types, spring & fall movements, and home ranges. The final section contains recommendations designed to provide protection of critical caribou habitat and to gather the information necessary to develop integrated caribou/forestry guidelines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The proximate role of predation in limiting caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations is well documented, but the long-term effects of predation pressure on selection of calving areas and the subsequent impacts to calving success remain unclear. We examined the relationships among calf survival, predation risk, and vegetation characteristics among 3 calving areas and across spatial scales in the Besa-Prophet River drainage of northern British Columbia"--page 1.

Ministry of Forests, Forestry Division Services Branch, Production Resources. This book was released on 1996 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a project that intended to determine the relative importance of the Chelaslie River study area to caribou (Rangifer tarandus), to determine whether habitats exist in the area which are preferentially used by the caribou, and to provide habitat management recommendations. The 87,000-hectare study area is located south of Ootsa Lake and north of Tetachuck Lake, east of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in British Columbia. The area was selected to be larger than a previously defined caribou migration corridor in order to incorporate all observed locations of caribou, which were monitored by radio tracking from spring 1993 to spring 1995. Results presented include degree of use of the migration corridor, and habitat selection by season and within subzones of the area.
