Widespread declines in woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) continue in Alberta (2013, methodology): “Monitoring adult female survival and calf recruitment can be a cost-effective means to estimate annual population growth rates (McLoughlin et al. 2003; DeCesare et al. 2012a) and projecting future trends without abundance estimates.”
Relating predation mortality to broad‐scale habitat selection (2005, background): “R), where M and R refer to finite mortality and recruitment rates, respectively (applied to moose and caribou; Hatter & Bergerud 1991; McLoughlin et al. 2003)].”
Empirical Evidence of Density- Dependence in Populations of Large Herbivores (2009, background): “…sp.) living in highly variable environments (Caughley, 1977), muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) and reindeer living in highly seasonal environments (Caughley and Gunn, 1993; Gunn, 1992) or populations facing high predation pressures (McLoughlin et al., 2003; Sinclair et al., 2003; Wittmer et al., 2005).”
Managing wolves (Canis lupus) to recover threatened woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Alberta (2014, background): “A growing number of studies demonstrate declining woodland caribou populations coinciding with rapidly increasing industrial activities (i.e., oil and gas development, forestry, mining) during the past 3 decades (McLoughlin et al. 2003; Wittmer et al. 2005).”
