註釋

The West-Central BC Caribou Research Project was set up to investigate potential effects of logging on caribou in the Tweedsmuir-Entiako and Itcha-Ilgachuz-Rainbow areas. The original studies were expanded to include more intensive investigations of winter range and population parameters. The objectives of the project were to determine seasonal movements, habitat use and food habits of caribou in these areas, especially during winter so that logging guidelines compatible with caribou winter habitat use could be developed; and to determine population size, calf production, and calf and adult survival, so that current population status and limiting factors could be determined. This report summarizes results on caribou seasonal movements, habitat use and food habits. The report discusses methods for capture and marking, seasonal movements and habitat use, snow measurements, winter feeding ecology and fecal analyses. Results and discussion are also provided for these as well as for winter forest cover type use.
