This book was released on 1999 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Omineca Mountains Woodland Caribou Project was initiated in 1991 to provide detailed information on a caribou population residing on the west side of Williston Reservoir, British Columbia. This report presents results of phase 2 of the Project, which focussed on the use of forested habitat & seasonal movement patterns by caribou of the Wolverine Herd, 1994-97. The report begins with background on the characteristics of the study area and the research methods used, which included capture & radio collaring of 27 caribou, monitoring of the collared caribou by radio telemetry during radio tracking flights during summer & winter, habitat analyses based on forest cover maps, and statistical analyses of correlations between caribou locations & habitat type. Results from 756 radio locations obtained over the three years are presented & discussed with regard to seasonal movements, seasonal habitat use, selection of seasonal home ranges, selection of forest cover types within home ranges, annual variation in habitat use, and population characteristics (mortality, population density). Based on the results, recommendations are made regarding caribou management and further research."--Publisher's description.

Book Synopsis Expert Knowledge and Its Application in Landscape Ecology by : Ajith H. Perera
Download or read book Expert Knowledge and Its Application in Landscape Ecology written by Ajith H. Perera and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, landscape ecologists use empirical observations to conduct research and devise solutions for applied problems in conservation and management. In some instances, they rely on advice and input of experienced professionals in both developing and applying knowledge. Given the wealth of expert knowledge and the risks of its informal and implicit applications in landscape ecology, it is necessary to formally recognize and characterize expert knowledge and bring rigor to methods for its applications. In this context, the broad goal of this book is to introduce the concept of expert knowledge and examine its role in landscape ecological applications. We plan to do so in three steps: First we introduce the topic to landscape ecologists, explore salient characteristics of experts and expert knowledge, and describe methods used in capturing and formalizing that knowledge. Second, we present examples of research in landscape ecology from a variety of ecosystems and geographic locations that formally incorporate expert knowledge. These case studies address a range of topics that will interest landscape ecologists and other resource management and conservation professionals including the specific roles of expert knowledge in developing, testing, parameterizing, and applying models; estimating the uncertainty in expert knowledge; developing methods of formalizing and incorporating expert knowledge; and using expert knowledge as competing models and a source of alternate hypotheses. Third, we synthesize the state of knowledge on this topic and critically examine the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating expert knowledge in landscape ecological applications. The disciplinary subject areas we address are broad and cover much of the scope of contemporary landscape ecology, including broad-scale forest management and conservation, quantifying forest disturbances and succession, conservation of habitats for a range of avian and mammal species, vulnerability and conservation of marine ecosystems, and the spread and impacts of invasive plants. This text incorporates the collective experience and knowledge of over 35 researchers in landscape ecology representing a diverse range of disciplinary subject areas and geographic locations. Through this text, we will catalyze further thought and investigations on expert knowledge among the target readership of researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in landscape ecology.

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.

Book Synopsis Seasonal Habitat Selection by Resident and Translocated Caribou in Relation to Cougar Predation Risk by : Heather Leech
Download or read book Seasonal Habitat Selection by Resident and Translocated Caribou in Relation to Cougar Predation Risk written by Heather Leech and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain caribou, an arboreal lichen-feeding ecotype of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), have been extirpated from much of their historic range. Mountain caribou are federally listed as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) and red-listed by the BC government. Habitat loss and fragmentation of old growth forest is the ultimate cause for population declines. Yet, predation, linked to apparent competition, is the proximate cause for high rates of mortality. One of the most imperiled populations resides in the Purcell Mountains of BC, which was experimentally augmented in 2012 with 19 northern caribou from northern BC. The caribou-predator literature predominantly focuses on the relationship between caribou and wolves (Canis lupus) in northern caribou populations. However, cougars (Puma concolor) have been identified as a major predator of Purcells-South (PS) caribou, yet caribou-cougar interactions remain largely unstudied. I evaluated cougar predation risk in space and time on resident and translocated caribou in the Purcell Mountains.
