Spatial Differences in Genetic Diversity and Northward Migration Suggest Genetic Erosion Along the Boreal Caribou Southern Range Limit and Continued Range Retraction
Resource
Study assesses changes in genetic diversity and connectivity in areas of high and low anthropogenic activity, across threatened boreal caribou populations in Ontario and Manitoba.
Spatial Familial Networks to Infer Demographic Structure of Wild Populations
Resource
Abstract In social species, reproductive success and rates of dispersal vary among individuals resulting in spatially structured populations. Network analyses of familial relationships may provide...
The Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
The Density of Anthropogenic Features Explains Seasonal and Behaviour-based Functional Responses in Selection of Linear Features by a Social Predator
Resource
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate access and travel efficiency for predators, and can influence predator distribution and encounter rates with prey. We used GPS collar data from eight wolf...
The Impact of Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks and their Treatment Methods on the Abundance of Plant-foods Important to Caribou and Grizzly Bears
Resource
In Alberta, Canada, mountain pine beetle (MPB) infestations overlap with threatened caribou and grizzly bear ranges. While MPB is a natural part of the ecosystem, increased intensity of infestation...
The Role of Introgression and Ecotypic Parallelism in Delineating Intraspecific Conservation Units
Resource
Abstract: Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate...

Understory Forage on Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the fRI Research Caribou Program investigates seismic lines for their abundance of forage plants, which could attract predators of caribou such as bears as well as alternate prey for...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices - Summary
Resource
In Canada, the young forests created by harvesting have shifted the distribution and abundance of deer, elk, and moose. A consequence is unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators like bears...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices
Resource
Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator– prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk and moose)...
Unravelling the Impacts of Disturbance Type and Regeneration on Movement of Threatened Species
Resource
Impact of disturbance on the daily movement of two large threatened mammals, and examined the nuances of movement response to type and regeneration of disturbance across seasons.
Using camera traps to estimate density and population composition of deer, moose, and elk
Project
Organization:
Aerial surveys are the primary method to assess ungulate population size, demographics, and trends in Alberta. These estimates are used to set hunting license allocations and determine priority areas...
Vegetation Growth on Seismic Lines in West-Central and North-Western Alberta
Resource
Seismic lines are slow to recover naturally, and many seismic lines need to be restored to contribute towards caribou recovery. Caribou predators use seismic lines to travel throughout caribou ranges...
Vegetation Recovery on Legacy Seismic Lines
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description:Despite decades of research assessing wildlife response to seismic lines, little is known about the effects of seismic line clearing on the quality of understory forage for...
Video - A Drainage Network Model for Regional-scale Land-use Planning in Alberta's Foothills
Resource
Dr. Richard McCleary draws the links between what we see in the field to the maps we have for planning and points out that the information we need for watershed assessment and riparian zones is the same.
