Impacts of industrial developments on the distribution and movement ecology of wolves (Canis lupus) and woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in the South Peace region of British Columbia.
Habitat alterations from anthropogenic disturbances across northeastern British Columbia have resulted in large-scale modifications to predator-prey dynamics. I used GPS collar locations and field data to quantify the responses of wolves (Canis lupus) and woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)...
