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.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To expand upon previous Department of Environment and Natural Resource (ENR) studies of habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou in the northern part of their Northwest Territories (NWT) range (Nagy et al. 2005, 2006), resource selection function (RSF) analysis was carried out with data from 58 boreal caribou that were fitted with satellite and GPS collars between 2002 and 2011 in the Sahtú, Gwichʼin and Inuvialuit Settlement Regions (ISR). Habitat selection by boreal caribou was evaluated at two spatial scales: the selection of home ranges within the study area (broad scale) and the selection for different areas within each caribou's home range (finer scale). Each scale of habitat selection was evaluated separately for the winter, calving, summer, and fall breeding seasons. To evaluate selection of home ranges within the study area, habitat features at random locations drawn within individual seasonal home ranges were contrasted to habitat features at random locations distributed throughout the study area. Habitat selection within home ranges was evaluated by comparing habitat features at each observed collar location to habitat features at random locations drawn from within individual seasonal home ranges. This approach allowed the two scales of habitat selection to be combined into RSF maps that captured both scales of habitat selection. Habitat features considered in the analysis included land cover type, vegetation productivity, slope, elevation, distance to lakes and rivers, density and distance to seismic lines, presence of roads, and presence of forest fires

Book Synopsis Home Range and Core Area Determination, Habitat Use and Sensory Effects of All Weather Access on Boreal Woodland Caribou, Rangifer Tarandus Caribou, in Eastern Manitoba by : Doug W. Schindler

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.

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.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are an iconic species of boreal and montane ecosystems, but many populations are declining due to habitat alteration and associated changes in predator-prey dynamics. Summer forage, however, influences lactation, juvenile growth, pregnancy, and survival, thereby affecting individuals and populations. I used tame caribou (of three nutritional classes - lactating, non-lactating, yearling) as a habitat assessment tool, at 135 sites across northeastern British Columbia, to determine: food habits and selection; dry matter intake rates; diet quality; and daily nutrient intakes. My goal was to assess the suitability of nutritional resources in boreal and montane plant communities to support energy and protein requirements of caribou during summer. Caribou were highly selective foragers. Deciduous shrubs were the primary summer forage of caribou; forbs, lichens, and mushrooms were secondary dietary items. Intake rates by caribou increased with increasing bite masses and quantities of accepted forage biomass (vegetation species used proportionately more than or equal to availability). Caribou achieved highest intakes at sites with an abundance of selected deciduous shrubs (e.g., willow-alpine sites, young forests) that afforded large bite masses, whereas lowest intakes occurred where mean bite masses were small (e.g., dry alpine, nutrient-poor forests). Dietary digestible energy (DE) and protein (DP) content, intake rates, and foraging time varied across plant communities and among nutritional classes. Caribou increased foraging time, but could not compensate for low intake rates and some plant communities failed to provide caribou with adequate nutrient intakes to support nutritional demands for lactation and maintenance of body mass. Although highest nutrient intakes were associated with productive sites, predation risk and disturbance may constrain the nutritional benefits caribou can acquire from these sites. In a pilot study, I mapped foodscapes of DE and DP intakes for a herd of free-ranging boreal caribou. Caribou did not select for nutrient intakes, but other factors including food quantity, predation risk, and accuracy of spatial data layers, may have confounded my ability to isolate the role of nutrition in habitat selection. Insights from this study into the nutritional ecology of caribou during summer can better inform caribou conservation and management.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Donovan and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habitat management is a key tool used to support species conservation and sustainable timber harvest on managed forests; however assessments of long-term management outcomes are rare. My study is a qualitative assessment of the outcomes of over 15 years of large scale forest management for boreal caribou in two unique Ontario, Canada landscapes: the northwestern Boreal Shield and the northeastern James Bay Lowlands. I assessed: (1) the realized outcomes of forest management direction with respect to the landscape scale structure and configuration of caribou habitat and harvested areas, and (2) changes in caribou spatial behaviour in response to forest management. I found patterns opposite to those predicted based on management recommendations in terms of harvest configuration and size, and observed no detectable changes in caribou habitat continuity or area that could be related to management application. Similarly, I observed behavioural patterns suggestive of maladaptive behavioural response to management outcomes, which could be potentially detrimental to caribou population viability. Overall, these results suggest that further investigation into the management of habitat for boreal caribou in Ontario is required. Moreover, these results highlight the importance of long-term monitoring for management practices in order to ensure management success.
