Wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) movement, habitat selection, and foraging in a landscape with resource extraction

Scrafford MA. 2017. Wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) movement, habitat selection, and foraging in a landscape with resource extraction. University of Alberta

These data highlight the strategies wolverines use to reduce competition and opportunity costs while foraging. Overall, my work provides evidence that industrial disturbance can both attract and displace wolverines and that simply measuring the human footprint is a poor proxy for the suitability of wolverine habitats.
