Understanding the spatial behaviour, energetics, and demography of caribou, reindeer, and their predators.
Goal
Observe how anthropogenic landscape changes influence predator and prey behaviour, energetics, and demography.
By combining GPS data and video collar footage with maps of digestible energy and perceived risk, we are looking at patterns of reindeer, caribou, and wolf movement and behaviour to better understand how landscape change relates to their energetics and demography.
We observe wild reindeer and semi-domesticated reindeer through partnership with Norwegion organizations, Renewable Reindeer and prodchange respectively.
