Assessment of the Barren Ground Caribou Die-off During Winter 2015-2016 Using Passive Microwave Observations
Resource
Study investigates a die-off of 50 Arctic Barren Ground caribous on Prince Charles Island (Nunavut, Canada), in the summer of 2016, using passive microwave observations.
Birth Date Determines Early Calf Survival in Migratory Caribou
Resource
Abstract The decline of most caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) populations underlines the need to understand the determinants of key demographic parameters. In migratory caribou, we have limited...

Résumé Au Québec, la Loi sur les espèces menacées ou vulnérables (LEMV), adoptée en 1989, a pour but d'assurer la sauvegarde de l'ensemble de la diversité génétique sauvage de la province en...
Conservation of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Canada: An Uncertain Future
Resource
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)) play a central role in the ecology and culture of much of Canada, where they were once the most abundant cervid. Most populations are currently declining, and...
Denésoliné (Chipewyan) Knowledge of Barren-Ground Caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) Movements
Resource
Semi-directed interviews relating to the traditional knowledge (TK) of barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) movements were conducted with elders and hunters from the Denésôliné...

Abstract Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios are used widely to describe wildlife animal diet composition and trophic interactions. To reconstruct consumer diet, the isotopic differences between...
Improving Peary Caribou Presence Predictions in MaxEntUsing Spatialized Snow Simulations
Resource
In this article, the researchers 1) investigate whether a snow model adapted for the Antarctic (SNOWPACK) can produce snow simulations relevant to Canadian High Arctic conditions, and 2) test snow...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
Monitoring Barren-Ground Caribou Body Condition with Denésǫłıné Traditional Knowledge
