Abstract
Large mammals are often among the first species to disappear from a landscape following its settlement by humans, an increasing threat in Ontario’s boreal forest. This forest is a vast, roadless, unlogged region that retains most of its presettlement community of large ungulates and their predators. This study evaluates whether the distribution of caribou and wolverines is limited by the presence of roads, fire suppression, and logging in the contact zone between Ontario’s roadless north and the postlogging southern landscape.
