Defining the predator landscape of northeastern British Columbia.

Patterns of river otter (Lontra canadensis) diet and habitat selection at latrine sites in central British Columbia.

“…Appropriate fractionation values are critical when developing stable-isotope mixing models (Tiezen et al 1983;Milakovic 2008 In fact, the results of the stable-isotope analysis were very similar to the results of the scat content analysis with the exception of the previously noted examples.…”

“…Seasonal variation in the use of food resources can influence the population dynamics (Fuller 1989), habitat selection (Milakovic 2008), and foraging ecology (Gonzalez 1997) of a species. Spatio-temporal variation in the diet of North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) is not well understood.…”

Influence of prescribed fire on Stone's sheep and Rocky Mountain elk: Forage characteristics and resource separation.

“…If elk populations continue to increase, they may support larger numbers o f predators that could opportunistically prey on Stone's sheep. Past research on the diets o f wolves and grizzly bears in the GBPA has shown that predation on Stone's sheep was highest in winter and spring (Milakovic 2008). In the Richards area of the GBPA, Stone's sheep constituted 35-40% o f the seasonal diet o f 1 pack of wolves (Milakovic and Parker 2011).…”

“…Additional constraints on northern ungulate populations include predation (Milakovic 2008) and severe winters (Daily andHobbs 1989, Shackleton 1999).…”

Influence of Linear Features and Snowmachine Activity on Resource Selection by Wolves.

“…Territoriality in a species occurs when resources such as prey have the potential to limit population growth (Brown 1969) and can be defined as the active defense of an area to the exclusion of other conspecifics (Milakovic 2008). Fuller et al (2003: 172) hypothesized that "territoriality in wolves helps to stabilize population dynamics by tightening the feedback loop to local resources".…”
