Experimental Moose Reduction Lowers Wolf Density and Stops Decline of Endangered Caribou
Resource
Using an adaptive management experiment, we tested the hypothesis that reducing moose to historic levels would reduce apparent competition and therefor recover caribou populations.
Extreme Precipitation Reduces Reproductive Output of an Endangered Raptor
Resource
Frequency and intensity of extreme weather has increased against a backdrop of anthropogenic land change. Extreme rainfall during the breeding season reduced reproductive success of burrowing owls.
Ferruginous Hawk Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
The Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan 2009 – 2014 identifies climate change as a factor potentially threatening the recovery of the species in Alberta.
Forest Ecosystem Monitoring in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Identification of Aquatic Elements and Sampling Protocols
Resource
This chapter describes aquatic elements and sampling protocols that could be used to monitor forested stream ecosystems in Alberta and Saskatchewan

Welcome to the It's Our Nature to Know Webinar Series! In the fifth episode of the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute's (ABMI) webinar series, Melanie Dickie will give an overview of the...
Habitat Alteration or Climate: What Drives the Densities of an Invading Ungulate?
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change are two well-known contributors to biodiversity loss through changes to species distribution and abundance; yet, disentangling the effects of these...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
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...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Habitat Selection at Different Scales for a Declining Aerial Insectivorous Bird as Determined by Autonomous Recording Technology
Resource
Conservation management is impeded by the lack of baseline data for many non-passerine, cryptic, or nocturnal species that are inadequately sampled by traditional monitoring programs. The recent rise...
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
Impacts of Land-use Management on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity: An Agent-based Modelling Approach
Resource
This ecosystem service modelling system allows stakeholders to evaluate the opportunities and trade-offs to make informed decisions for achieving land-use planning goals.
Incorporating Mechanism into Conservation Actions in an Age of Multiple and Emerging Threats: The Case of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Conservation strategies for imperiled species are frequently based on identifying and addressing the probable causes of population decline, an approach known as the declining population paradigm...

Influence of In-Situ Oil Sands Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement
Resource
Predictions demonstrate that maintaining permeability across In-situ oil sands development is more important than spacing between leases or including protected areas.
