The Erosion of Threatened Southern Mountain Caribou Migration Open
Migration enables animals to access seasonally and spatially varying resources, resulting in greater abundance compared to analogous non‐migratory wildlife. Both Western science and Indigenous knowledge recognize the critical role of migra…
Go where you know: range expansion and fidelity in mountain caribou following eight years of maternity penning Open
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou ) are designated as Threatened or Endangered in Canada, with many populations being at risk of extirpation. Approaches for caribou conservation can be both invasive and expensive. For example, m…
Assessing the health-fitness dynamics of endangered mountain caribou and the influence of maternal penning Open
The health of wildlife plays a crucial role in population demography by connecting habitat and physiology. Southern mountain caribou, a population of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1978)) found in the mountains of so…
Effectiveness of population‐based recovery actions for threatened southern mountain caribou Open
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou ) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this threatened caribou population's range and abundance have dr…
Evaluating the impact of caribou habitat restoration on predator and prey movement Open
Fragmentation of the boreal forest by linear features, including seismic lines, has destabilized predator–prey dynamics, resulting in the decline of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou ) populations. Restoration of human‐altered h…
Demographic responses of nearly extirpated endangered mountain caribou to recovery actions in Central British Columbia Open
Recovering endangered species is a difficult and often controversial task that challenges status quo land uses. Southern Mountain caribou are a threatened ecotype of caribou that historically ranged in southwestern Canada and northwestern …
Indigenous‐led conservation: Pathways to recovery for the nearly extirpated<span>Klinse‐Za</span>mountain caribou Open
Indigenous Peoples around the northern hemisphere have long relied on caribou for subsistence and for ceremonial and community purposes. Unfortunately, despite recovery efforts by federal and provincial agencies, caribou are currently in d…
Direct and Indirect Effects of Habitat Disturbances on Caribou Terrestrial Forage Lichens in Montane Forests of British Columbia Open
Cumulative effects of increased forest harvesting, mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae; MPB) outbreaks, and wildfire in low-elevation lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests could limit long-term winter habitat supply for the nor…

Saving endangered species using adaptive management Open
Significance A replicated management experiment was conducted across >90,000 km 2 to test recovery options for woodland caribou, a species that was functionally extirpated from the contiguous United States in March 2018. Recovery options w…
Understanding the functional components of predator-prey response to habitat restoration: A Bayesian approach Open
Effective action planning for recovering endangered populations of boreal caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou ) requires an understanding of the functional interactions between: (1) responses by predators to current and prospective future …
