Increases in moose, caribou, and wolves following wolf control in Alaska

Article Abstract:

The imposition of wolf population control measures has increased the population of moose and caribou. By decreasing predation, environmental factors such as the weather and food supply, have contributed to ungulate population growth. Current and historical data indicate that a positive correlation exists between wolf population control and ungulate prey population growth.

Modeling wolverine occurrence using aerial surveys of tracks in snow

Article Abstract:

An aerial survey of tracks in snow and hierarchical spatial modeling are used to determine wolverine occurrence and distribution in a forested habitat in northwestern Ontario. The information can be used to effectively manage the wolverine population faced with increasing resource development in the area.

Short-term impacts of military overflights on caribou number calving season

Article Abstract:

The impact of low-level military jet overflights on caribou during the calving season is described. Short-term response to overflights was generally mild in comparison to caribou reactions to predators or perceived predators.
