| Summary: | Animal movements, needed to acquire food resources, avoid predation risk, and find breeding partners, are influenced by annual and circadian cycles. Decisions related to movement reflect a quest to maximize benefits while limiting costs, especially in heterogeneous landscapes. Predation by wolves (Canis lupus) has been identified as the major driver of moose (Alces alces) habitat selection patterns, and linear features have been shown to increase wolf efficiency to travel, hunt and kill prey. However, few studies have described moose behavioral response to roads and logging in Canada in the absence of wolves. We thus characterized temporal changes (i.e., day phases and biological periods) in eastern moose (Alces alces americana) habitat selection and space use patterns near a road network in a wolf-free area located south of the St. Lawrence River (eastern Canada). We used telemetry data collected on 18 females between 2017 and 2019 to build resource selection functions and mixed linear regressions to ... : Funding provided by: Ministère des TransportsCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/05sgcwh30Award Number: N/A Funding provided by: Natural Sciences and Engineering Research CouncilCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/01h531d29Award Number: 2016-05196 Funding provided by: Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des ParcsCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/00ra8zc69Award Number: N/A Funding provided by: Natural Sciences and Engineering Research CouncilCrossref Funder Registry ID: https://ror.org/01h531d29Award Number: 2022-04307 ... |
