Book excerpt: The Slate Islands caribou (Rangifer tarandis caribou) is an insular population which has experienced several population crashes and has been described as likely to succumb to extirpation. While a great deal of research has been conducted on mainland woodland caribou, factors which influence caribou distributions may differ between island and main land populations. In this thesis, I investigate relationships between habitat, landscape, anthropogenic features, population size, predation and spatial distribution of woodland caribou across the Slate Islands Provincial Park (Ontario) at the forest-patch spatial scale. Generalized linear models were used to compare observed caribou locations to available locations across the park, based on data from 1978 to 1995. Results indicated that the Slate Islands caribou selected deciduous cover, larger forest patches, areas further to water, flatter areas, lower elevations and areas closer to anthropogenic features. Population size had a limited effect on caribou distributions.

Book excerpt: The Wabowden woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) herd in north central Manitoba is considered at high risk due to potential loss of desirable habitat caused by forestry operations. The objectives of this study were to identify and examine the characteristics of calving habitat of the Wabowden caribou herd, to describe and evaluate the habitat in terms of timber resource values, and to identify potential conflicts between caribou habitat requirements and forestry operations. Telemetry locations from 14 female caribou between the middle of May to the end of June in 1995 and 1997 were examined. The calving habitat was described using the Forest Ecosystem Classification for Manitoba, Forest Resource Inventory attributes, and ground vegetation composition data collected from 58 caribou locations. Field data suggested that during the study period, marked cows were often associated with lowland black spruce stands scattered across muskeg. No use of islands in lakes was observed. Habitat use and availability analysis indicated that caribou seemed to avoid deciduous stands, stands with early cutting classes, and non-black spruce conifer stands. The use of treed muskeg was more than expected from its availability. No significant differences were found between calving habitat and random locations in terms of habitat heterogeneity and distance from landscape objects, with the exception of the distance from transmission lines. Timber merchantability of survey sites indicated that the calving habitat in the northern portion of the study area was potentially at risk due to habitat alteration by forestry operations. Calving habitats found in the central and southern part of study area mostly had low timber merchantability, mainly due to the inaccessibility and isolation of the stands.

Schindler and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou Gmelin) are listed as "Threatened" under the Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA) and provincially under the Manitoba Endangered Species Act (MESA). Two of three provincially designated high-risk boreal woodland caribou ranges occur in eastern Manitoba and have been studied using Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking technology. This project was undertaken with the cooperation of the Eastern Manitoba Woodland Caribou Advisory Committee (EMWCAC). I investigated the development of an objective criterion using an adaptive kernel analysis to define core areas of use and the sensory effects of all weather access. A Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for woodland caribou was evaluated to determine if woodland caribou were selecting high quality habitat as defined by the model. Habitat use and selection at course and fine scales was assessed to determine landscape and stand level selection and use. A case study of habitat use and selection using forest inventory attribute data was also conducted and a comparative analysis was undertaken to determine differences in habitat use and selection between two ecologically distinct caribou populations. The criteria used to define core areas yielded mapping outputs that could provide a surrogate for critical habitat and a basis for management zoning and habitat planning. Analysis of the animal use of high quality habitat as predicted by the HSI model illustrated that woodland caribou selection of high quality habitat versus its availability is significant. Course or landscape scale habitat selection and use analysis illustrated that woodland caribou require large tracts of jack pine dominated forest containing black spruce, treed rock and muskegs. At the fine or stand level scale, woodland caribou selected habitat based on discrete variables described in the forest inventory attribute data. Woodland caribou preferred 60 - 80 year old pine dominated forest with a crown closure greater than 50%, interspersed with black spruce, rock outcrop and treed muskegs. Woodland caribou habitat containing greater proportions of treed rock and muskeg in pine dominated forest was important to woodland caribou in eastern Manitoba. The effects of the Happy Lake Road on woodland caribou use and animal energetics are measurable. Woodland caribou illustrate avoidance at approximately 2 kilometres from the road with maximum use of habitat occurring at 9 kilometres from the road. The location of the Happy Lake Road may be favourable considering the location of the Black River. Avoidance of the Happy Lake Road by the Owl Lake animals may be a function of predator and human avoidance. General management implications from this study include the use of the objective criteria for adaptive kernel analysis to determine ecologically representative core use areas that can be used in integrated management zoning. It also has application as a tool for proactive monitoring in the determination of core areas and critical habitat in resource development and mitigation.

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.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou ) populations throughout much of the boreal forest have decreased as a result of changes to forest composition, including an increase in moose (Alces alces ) and wolf (Canis lupus ) density with increased predation on caribou. For this study, a multi-scalar analysis of Argos telemetry data from 18 radio-collared caribou during 2000-2009 in northwestern Ontario compared their use of habitat in a landscape with a longer history of logging (Lake Nipigon area) with their use of habitat in an adjacent, less exploited landscape, managed following caribou mosaic guidelines (Ogoki area). The objective was to determine whether differences in caribou habitat use occurred with varying availability of winter habitat patches and varying moose density for these two landscapes."-- from abstract.
