Habitat use by woodland caribou in a managed boreal forest landscape
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations throughout much of the boreal forest have decreased as a result of changes to forest composition, including an increase in moose (Alces alces) and wolf (Canis lupus) density with increased predation on caribou. For this study, a multi-scalar a...
