Summary Functional responses in habitat selection occur when individuals adjust their of features as a function the availability those features. are generally assumed to be fitness‐rewarding tactics and used guide conservation actions. Fitness consequences functional responses, however, have rarely been evaluated. Eighty‐three caribou were followed with GPS collars establish link between adult female survival, strong fitness correlate for caribou. We measured how avoidance mixed/deciduous...
Terrestrial mammals are strongly influenced by seasonal changes in environmental conditions. Studies of animal space use behaviour therefore inherently nature. We propose an individual-based quantitative method for identifying shifts caribou movement and we demonstrate its determining the onset winter, spring dispersal, calving seasons. Using pooled data population alternate approach using polynomial regression with mixed effects. then compare individual dates population-based estimates...
The gap between research and its implementation is an impediment to conservation of the environment. Translating science into actionable management policy requires effective communication collaboration among scientists, practitioners, policy-makers. Ecologists routinely rely on spatial data describe wildlife distributions; however, habitat definitions vary by species, sources often differ from those used land managers. Finding commonalities in language plan for industrial activities may help...
Abstract Protected areas are needed to conserve nature and biodiversity worldwide. The province of Québec (Canada) recently established a large wilderness area affording significant habitat protection for boreal woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ), wide‐ranging species at risk. We describe decision support framework combining ecological modeling with socioeconomic constraints that ultimately led the creation this protected area. Multiple criteria were used identify candidate caribou....
Abstract Over the last decades, all hard coal mines (the one in 2018) and many industrial facilities (e.g. coking plants, steel mills) have been closed Ruhr region as part of an ongoing, long-term transition process. The centuries-old mining tradition is nevertheless very much embedded population. For this reason, monuments age are regarded defining, identity-forming landmarks that must be preserved original possible future - not only region, but also comparable regions Germany Saarland,...
Abstract Each phenomenon has its cause and effect. During the research on post-mining processes, reasons can be found in ongoing processes taking place after end of mining exploitation. Therefore, a very important aspect is Geomonitoring. Currently, all over world, should considered into two groups processes: such subsurface regions surface Earth. Through an integrated Geomonitoring it possible to observe, among others, vegetation areas. The observation state using remote sensing methods,...
