Habitat selection and occupancy of feral horses in comparison to cattle and elk in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of Canada by Paul M. Boyce, Philip D. McLoughlin

“…From 2018–2020 we assessed the seasonal habitat selection of GPS-tracked feral horses in Alberta’s Sundre Equine Management Zone; and compared summer probability of occupancy of horses, domestic cattle (Bos taurus; not present in winter), and elk (Cervus elaphus) using a 120-unit array of trail-camera data. GPS-tracked horses varied in selection for vegetation type and counter to expectations horses tended to avoid native rangeland in summer compared to greater selection for forestry cutblocks. …”
