Revisiting extinction in national parks: mountain caribou in Banff.
On April 30, 2009 environmental groups released a na tional media story that said that the Banff Spring’s snail (Physella johnsonit), found solely in Banff National Park (BNP), Canada, was the only species out of 449 listed under the Canadian Species at Risk Act (Government of Canada 2002) to benefit from the full legally man dated conservation process. Ironically, on the same day in BNP’s ba...
متن کاملSimulated effects of forest management options on timber and caribou habitat in the Northern Columbia Mountains
Introduction Mountain caribou, an ecotype of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), are a primary focus for forest management in the Columbia Mountains Forest District. Models have been developed based on multivariate linear regression of telemetry data to predict caribou habitat by associating forest cover and physiographic variables at various spatial scales and seasons (Apps et al. 19...
متن کاملMechanisms Explaining Nursery Habitat Association: How Do Juvenile Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) Benefit from Their Nursery Habitat?
Nursery habitats provide elevated survival and growth to the organisms that associate with them, and as such are a crucial early life-stage component for many fishes and invertebrates. The exact mechanisms by which these benefits are afforded to associated organisms, however, are often unclear. Here we assessed potential explanations of the nursery function of structurally complex habitats for ...
متن کاملCompensatory selection for roads over natural linear features by wolves in northern Ontario: Implications for caribou conservation
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Ontario are a threatened species that have experienced a substantial retraction of their historic range. Part of their decline has been attributed to increasing densities of anthropogenic linear features such as trails, roads, railways, and hydro lines. These features have been shown to increase the search efficiency and kill rate of wolves. Howev...
متن کاملCharacterizing woodland caribou habitat in sub-boreal and boreal forests
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are sensitive to changes in understory vegetation resulting from forest harvesting and are, therefore, of special concern for foresters and habitat biologists. Effective management of this species requires reliable habitat inventories which, because of the large heterogeneous areas over which caribou range, can be costly. We used Landsat Thematic Map...
