Abstract:
Columbian
black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus Richardson)
populations on northern Vancouver Island showed marked
deaclines during the 1970's coincident with a major increase
in nuber of the Vancouver island wolf (Canis lupus crassodon
Hall). Reduced recruitment appeared to be the major cause
for the deer delines. The objective of this study was to
test the hypothesis that wolf predation was the primary
factor limitirng recruitment A sudy rea, located within
a moderate wolf density region on the Island, was selected
for intensieve study from 1990-82 |
