Boreal forests provide numerous ecological services, including the ability to store large
amounts of carbon, and are of significance to global biodiversity. Increases in industrial …

Rapid landscape alteration associated with human activity is currently challenging the
evolved dynamical stability of many predator–prey systems by forcing species to …

Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is
rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit …

Across Canada, woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations
are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in …

Nowhere across Canada is the continued persistence of woodland caribou (Rangifer
tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) more uncertain than in Alberta due to widespread …

Changes in primary productivity have the potential to substantially alter food webs, with
positive outcomes for some species and negative outcomes for others. Understanding the …

A central assumption underlying the study of habitat selection is that selected habitats confer
enhanced fitness. Unfortunately, this assumption is rarely tested, and in some systems …

Analyses of animal movement data have primarily focused on understanding patterns of
space use and the behavioural processes driving them. Here, we analyzed animal …

One of the most challenging tasks in wildlife conservation and management is to clarify how
spatial variation in land cover due to anthropogenic disturbance influences wildlife …

Both survival and reproduction are important fitness components, and thus critical to the
viability of wildlife populations. Preventing one death (survival) or contributing one newborn …
