Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Maintaining connectivity with source populations is especially important for populations of
boreal species at the southern edge of their distributions, where anthropogenic disturbance …

A fundamental challenge in habitat ecology and management is understanding the
mechanisms generating animal distributions. Studies of habitat selection provide a lens into …

Ecologists and managers are motivated to predict the distribution of animals across
landscapes as well as understand the mechanisms giving rise to that distribution. Satisfying …

Mesocarnivores are increasingly recognized as key drivers of community dynamics, but the
effects of bottom-up and abiotic factors on mesocarnivore populations remain poorly …

A fundamental problem in ecology is forecasting how species will react to major
disturbances. As the climate warms, large, frequent, and severe fires are restructuring …

Nest predation is often the primary cause of nest failure for ducks throughout North America.
Tremendous efforts have been made to identify predators responsible for nest predation to …

Populations of species located at southern range edges may be particularly vulnerable to
the effects of climate change as warming temperatures and subsequent changes to …

The persistence of cold-adapted species along their equatorial range edge (ie, southern
range edge for species in the Northern Hemisphere and northern range edge for species in …

Snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) are an ecologically important herbivore because they
modify vegetation through browsing and serve as a prey resource for multiple predators. We …
