| sarcocystis in caribou (rangifer tarandus terraenorae) in newfoundland. | prevalence of species of sarcocystis in muscle of 36 caribou, rangifer tarandus terraenorae, shot in newfoundland, canada, was 53%. a greater percentage of infected animals were obtained from the central part of the island. the highest concentration of microscopic sarcocysts, 1/mm2 of tissue, was observed in a 5-year old animal. although widely distributed throughout the body, cysts were more prevalent in the tongue and diaphragm. the potential of sarcocystis in caribou as a food-borne disease o ... | 1991 | 1688046 |

| notes on sugar feeding and selected wild mammalian hosts of black flies (diptera: simuliidae) in newfoundland. | this study, done on the avalon peninsula, newfoundland, identified selected wild mammalian hosts and quantified the incidence of sugar feeding for several species (species complexes) of black flies. female flies were taken from fox, snowshoe hare, lynx, caribou, and human baits. simulium truncatum/venustum complex females took blood from fox, lynx, rabbit, and caribou and were frequently taken in sweep net collections around humans. blood-fed females of the simulium rostratum/verecundum complex ... | 1994 | 7932603 |
| prevalence of sarcocystis spp. in two subspecies of caribou (rangifer tarandus) in newfoundland and labrador, and foxes (vulpes vulpes), wolves (canis lupus), and husky dogs (canis familiaris) as potential definitive hosts. | a study was conducted to determine the prevalence and geographical distribution of sarcocystis spp. infecting 2 subspecies of caribou (rangifer tarandus) inhabiting newfoundland and labrador and its potential definitive hosts. muscle samples of caribou were obtained, primarily from hunters, and feces of red foxes (vulpes vulpes) and wolves (canis lupus), from trappers, and husky dogs (canis familiaris), from owners. histological sections of muscle and flotation methods for feces were used for pa ... | 2006 | 16884021 |
| phase-dependent climate-predator interactions explain three decades of variation in neonatal caribou survival. | climate can have direct and indirect effects on population dynamics via changes in resource competition or predation risk, but this influence may be modulated by density- or phase-dependent processes. we hypothesized that for ungulates, climatic conditions close to parturition have a greater influence on the predation risk of neonates during population declines, when females are already under nutritional stress triggered by food limitation. we examined the presence of phase-dependent climate-pre ... | 2016 | 26529139 |
| enhanced understanding of predator-prey relationships using molecular methods to identify predator species, individual and sex. | predator species identification is an important step in understanding predator-prey interactions, but predator identifications using kill site observations are often unreliable. we used molecular tools to analyse predator saliva, scat and hair from caribou calf kills in newfoundland, canada to identify the predator species, individual and sex. we sampled dna from 32 carcasses using cotton swabs to collect predator saliva. we used fragment length analysis and sequencing of mitochondrial dna to di ... | 2014 | 23957886 |
