How Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...
HydroGeoSim: A Water Purification Geosimulation Modelling Platform
Resource
The model documentation summarizes the data, variables and assumptions required to capture how water purification services are provided across landscapes in Alberta
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
In Search of a Critical Habitat Concept for Woodland Caribou, Boreal Population
Resource
A hierarchical approach to critical habitat identification has been proposed in the draft National Recovery Strategy for the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population. This...
Indigenizing the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
Resource
This article identifies the gaps and linkages between the North American Model of wildlife conservation and Indigenous-led conservation efforts across Canada. Although a diversity of approaches to...
Indigenous Fish and Wildlife Co-management as an Opportunity to Support Inuit Well-being
Resource
This dissertation research characterizes how wildlife co-management impacts well-being in Inuit Nunangat. Abstract Inuit in the Circumpolar North are closely tied to the lands, waters, and wildlife...
Indigenous Peoples are Critical to the Success of Nature Based Solutions
Resource
Nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate change mitigation—such as ecosystem protection or conservation, improved forest management practices, as well as afforestation—can significantly reduce global...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
Interim Report on Semi-aquatic Mammal Studies 1977-1978
Resource
Live trapping and tagging of the four study species, beaver (Castor canadensis), muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), mink (Mustela vison), and otter (Lutra canadensis), were conducted while the study areas
Inuit Knowledge of Long-term Changes in a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Indigenous peoples possess knowledge about wildlife that dates back many generations. Inuit observations of historical changes in a caribou population on southern Baffin Island, collected from 43...
Investigating Flexible Migration in Hudson Bay Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
A masters thesis that identified environmental drivers of caribou migration in Ontario, and evaluated whether caribou exhibited a migratory syndrome. Abstract Facultative migration has been...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Learning Across Indigenous and Western Knowledge Systems and Intersectionality: Reconciling Social Science Research Approaches
Resource
Pressing socioeconomic, political, and ecological challenges demand new approaches to creating and acting on research. Finding new approaches to knowledge creation requires turning to previously...
Linking Co-monitoring to Co-management: Bringing Together Local, Traditional, and Scientific Knowledge in a Wildlife Status Assessment Framework
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires accurate and timely information on conservation status and trends, and knowledge of the factors driving population change. Reliable monitoring of wildlife...
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) are affected by density-dependent and -independent processes at various temporal scales. Populations residing on Arctic tundra can be affected by both density-independent...
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Project
Organization:
This PhD project used Inuit knowledge and aerial survey data across many years to analyse distribution, forage selection, foraging ecology, and physical condition of caribou in the arctic.
