30 years of change: Linking habitat, predators and alternative prey to explain recruitment variations of an endangered caribou population

Woodland caribou populations suffer from habitat modifications and most are currently in decline. It has been suggested that the conversion of old-growth coniferous forests into...

Habitat loss on seasonal migratory range imperils an endangered ungulate: Implications for redefining critical habitat for mountain caribou

Using a telemetry location dataset spanning 1981 – 2018, we tested for changes in prevalence of migratory tactics (resident, migrant) over time, switching between tactics,...
