The Bow Valley Naturalists are pleased to be hosting a seminar presented by Lalenia Neufeld and Jean-François Bisaillon of Parks Canada on Tuesday, January 24th, at 7:20 pm MST. View details below and...
Land Management Strategies for the Long-term Persistence of Boreal Woodland Caribou in Central Saskatchewan
Resource
Abstract We investigated landscape changes and their potential effects on woodland caribou-boreal ecotype ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) within a portion of the Smoothstone-Wapaweka Woodland Caribou...
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...
Łeghagots'enete ́, (Learning Together): The Importance of Indigenous Perspectives in the Identification of Biological Variation
Resource
Using multiple knowledge sources to interpret patterns of biodiversity can generate the comprehensive species characterizations that are required for effective conservation strategies. Caribou...
Migratory Tundra Caribou Seasonal and Annual Distribution Relative to Thaidene Nene, a National Park Reserve Proposal in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake and Artillery Lake Area, Northwest Territories
Resource
Brief 2011 report on the use of Thaidene Nene National Park (NWT) by the Ahiak and Bathurst herds. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou Canada website. To find more related...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Parks Canada Extends Seasonal Backcountry Closures in Jasper National Park
News
Organization
In Jasper National Park, caribou and their habitat are protected under Canada’s National Parks Act and Species at Risk Act. Seasonal closures and access restrictions are just one way that Parks Canada...

News
Organization
A proposal for a captive breeding program designed to support woodland caribou recovery efforts in Jasper National Park has received approval from a scientific review panel. The program, which will...
Peatland Restoration Pathways to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Retain Peat Carbon
Resource
Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study analyses the most common...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Population Dynamics of Caribou Shaped by Glacial Cycles Before the Last Glacial Maximum
Resource
Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high- latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and...
Population Structure of Threatened Caribou in Western Canada Inferred From Genome-wide SNP Data
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...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
