Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat selection at multiple scales
TL;DR: It is outlined how reward/risk ratios can be used to assess the fitness implications of habitat selection across scales, and by linking habitat selection to fitness as a function of scale, use-of-habitat assessments can be more effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroelectric development and the disruption of migration in caribou
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of hydroelectric development on the movements and space-use of caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribus) in west-central Newfoundland, Canada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat selection and demography of a nonmigratory woodland caribou population in Newfoundland
Shane P. Mahoney,John A. Virgl +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that black bears need to be considered more seriously as a factor influencing coarse-scale habitat selection and demography in woodland caribou herds in Newfoundland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body Size Variations in Caribou Ecotypes and Relationships With Demography
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the density-dependent effect observed on body size might have been exerted through summer habitat degradation and movement variations during herd growth, and the correlations between population trajectories and changes in body condition and habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term changes in demography and migration of newfoundland caribou
TL;DR: Study of changes in the abundance, vital rates, body size, and timing of migration of the Buchans Plateau caribou herd in Newfoundland, Canada found that Spring migration was significantly later and autumn migration significantly earlier, and it is surmise that these responses may reflect heightened density-dependent competition for summer forage.
