The influences of wolf predation, habitat
loss, and human activity on caribou and
moose in the Alberta oil sands, Wasser |
A good field study of many of the factors threatening caribou in Alberta |
DRAFT Management Plan for the Grey Wolf
(Canis lupus) in British Columbia |
This plan was pointed out by Eric Becker |
Managing wolves (Canis lupus) to recover threatened woodland
caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Alberta |
This paper is recommended by Conrad |
The predator-prey dynamics of wolves and moose in the
northern Columbia Mountains: spatial and functional patterns in
relation to mountain caribou decline. 2005 |
Talks about where and when moose were killed by wolves and how close it happened to caribou. Lots about kill frequency, amount of moose eaten by each wolf each day - great stuff. |
Impacts of Backcountry Recreation Activities
on Mountain Caribou, 2000 |
Examines impact of four winter recreation from backcountry skiing to snowmobiling, snowcat skiing and heli-skiing. |
Factors limiting woodland caribou populations and their relationships with wolves and moose in southeastern BC, 1992 |
Comparison of two neighbouring caribou herds, one in the alpine, one in the trees. Lots of good information about predation. |
Predation and caribou populations, 1991 |
Good basic review of caribou predation. Compares our northern caribou to Arctic caribou |
Displacement of Mountain Caribou from Winter Habitat by Snowmobiles, 2006 |
Recent study near Prince George showed that caribou abandoned a mountain area with intensive snowmobiling even though it was suitable caribou habitat. |

strategies of northern woodland caribou

forest practices in British Columbia, 2004 |
Ignore the fancy title, this paper has some good information on caribou feed and how caribou survive in winter |
Microsite Displacement of Terrestrial Lichens by Feather Moss Mats in Late
Seral Pine-Lichen Woodlands of North-central British Columbia |
Examines the effects of fire on the lichens that caribou eat in winter. Skip the technical part in the middle and get to the discussion at the end. |
Condition, Potential Recovery Rate, and Productivity of Lichen (Cladonia spp.)
Ranges in the Finnish Reindeer Management Area, 1999 |
Finland is a long way but fire does help lichen grow - and caribou eat lichen |
The diet of woodland caribou populations in west-central Alberta, 1996 |
Caribou prefer lichens over all other feed, both summer and winter. Hint - graminoids are grasses, equisetum are horsetails, ledum are Labrador Tea and dryas are alpine avens. |
