Measurements of Cesium in Arctic Beluga and Caribou Before and After the Fukushima Accident of 2011
Resource
Concern from northern communities following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident of March 2011 has prompted a reassessment of the safety of their traditional foods with respect to radioactivity...

Merging Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge Links Climate with the Growth of a Large Migratory Caribou Population
Resource
Climate change in the Arctic is two to three times faster than anywhere else in the world. It is therefore crucial to understand the effects of weather on keystone arctic species, particularly those...
Methods for Reclamation of Wildlife Habitat in the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Resource
This manual provides information on the planning and application of techniques for reclamation of wildlife habitat. Most of the techniques in this manual are best suited for medium to large-sized...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Movement Ecology of Endangered Caribou During a COVID-19 Mediated Pause in Winter Recreation
Resource
Abstract The long-term conservation of species at risk relies on numerous, and often concurrent, management actions to support their recovery. Generally, these actions are habitat-based while others...
Multi-objective Optimization can Balance Trade-offs Among Boreal Caribou, Biodiversity, and Climate Change Objectives when Conservation Hotspots do not Overlap
Resource
The biodiversity and climate change crises have led countries—including Canada—to commit to protect more land and inland waters and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Canada is also obligated...
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) Territory Placement Near Seismic Lines is Influenced by Forest Regeneration and Conspecific Density
Resource
The boreal forest of western Canada is being dissected by seismic lines used for oil and gas exploration. The vast amount of edge being created is leading to concerns that core habitat will be reduced...
Partitioning Drivers of Spatial Genetic Variation for a Continuously Distributed Population of Boreal Caribou: Implications for Management Unit Delineation
Resource
Isolation by distance (IBD) is a natural pattern not readily incorporated into theoretical models nor traditional metrics for differentiating populations, although clinal genetic differentiation can...
Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Circum-Arctic Rangifer: Caribou and Reindeer
Resource
Livers of caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from Canada (n = 146), Greenland (n = 30), Svalbard (n = 7), and Sweden (n = 60) were analyzed for concentrations of eight perfluoroalkyl carboxylic...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins, Dibenzofurans and Non-ortho Substituted Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) from the Canadian Arctic
Resource
The presence of contaminants in the Arctic environment has raised concerns regarding levels in wildlife and possible effects on the health of wildlife populations. In addition, contaminants in wild...
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...
Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Progress Report on Steps Taken for Protection of Critical Habitat for Species at Risk in Canada (April 2019 – September 2019)
Resource
This report, published February 28, 2020 summarizes the steps taken to protect critical habitat for 218 species at risk in Canada, including boreal caribou. This multi-species report is an update from...
