Warm winters, hot moose: Temperature drives activity and habitat trade-offs across a cold-adapted species’ range
Moose ( Alces alces ) are a cold-adapted species that may be vulnerable to overheating at relatively low temperatures in winter. Moose have two main strategies for thermal regulation: shifting activity patterns and selecting habitat that provides thermal refuge. In this study, we compared how moose use these two strategies in response to winter temperature across their latitudinal range. First, we used hidden Markov models to delineate encamped a…
Human and animal movements combine with snow to increase moose-vehicle collisions in winter
Wildlife-vehicle collisions imperil humans, wildlife, and property. Collisions with moose (Alces alces ) are especially consequential and there are indications they may increase during severe winters. We tested hypotheses regarding the influence of moose movements and vehicular traffic patterns on collision risk. We first modeled daily snow depth and accumulation across 5.6 million km 2 of the North American Arctic-Boreal region. Next, we analyze…
Climate change increases predation risk for a keystone species of the boreal forest
Trophic Dynamics of the Boreal Forests of the Kluane Region
The trophic dynamics of the Yukon boreal forest have been under investigation at the Kluane Lake Research Station since 1973. We monitored and conducted experiments on the major species in this ecosystem, except the large mammals (for logistic reasons). The central problem has been to determine the causes of the 9 – 10 year cycle of snowshoe hares, and to achieve this we carried out several large-scale experiments manipulating food supplies, pred…
Scenarios are Plausible Stories about the Future, not Forecasts
In his critique of our paper, Harron appears to have missed the intent of our work. In the spirit of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (http://www.maweb.org), our objective was to demonstrate how scenarios could be developed and used to help decision makers consider positive and negative implications of alternative development trajectories. Our scenarios were not intended to be forecasts or predictions, but plausible, challenging, and relevant …
