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...
Meta-analysis Reveals that Enhanced Practices Accelerate Vegetation Recovery During Peatland Restoration
Resource
Abstract The provision of critical ecosystem services like carbon sequestration by peatlands has been degraded around the globe. Peatland restoration represents an opportunity to tackle the twin...
Migratory Movements of Caribou in Northern Quebec and Labrador
Project
Project Description:This project aims at identifying the determinants of migratory routes and staging areas used by eastern migratory caribou. It will use GPS location data collected on >100 females...
Mineral Road in Sphagnum Dominated Peatlands: The Burial Under Peat Layer Restoration Method
Resource
This research poster gives examples of peatland restoration using the burial under peat method at two sites in Quebec. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland...
Mining Development, Migratory Caribou, and Land Use in Northern Quebec
Resource
A 2017 interactive web-based resource that covers the George River and Leaf River caribou herds. The resource has various narratives about the herds, as well as maps that show the range of the caribou...
Movement Responses of Caribou to Human-Induced Habitat Edges Lead to Their Aggregation near Anthropogenic Features
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...
Multi-Level Functional Responses for Wildlife Conservation: The Case of Threatened Caribou in Managed Boreal Forests
Resource
1. The selection for particular habitat patches can vary as a function of local and regional levels of anthropogenic disturbance. Although such functional responses can better reveal habitat loss for...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We used complementary approaches to assess natal habitat preference induction in a marked population of woodland caribou. All approaches compared the behavior of calves in their...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Resource
...three complementary approaches to assess NHPI in a marked population: (a) population‐based resource selection functions (RSFs), (b) individual‐based RSFs, and (c) behavioral repeatability analyses.
Northern Alberta Indigenous Communities Submit Land-Use Report For Woodland Caribou Conservation
News
While there’s been much attention on disputes between First Nations and Métis communities over federal legislation recognizing certain Métis groups as official orders of government, First Nations and...
Occupancy and Abundance of Pond-Breeding Anurans in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
As resource extraction moves north across the globe, wetland ecosystems in Canada are increasingly degraded because of disturbances associated with anthropic activities, including timber harvesting...
Overcoming Challenges of Sparse Telemetry Data to Estimate Caribou Movement
Resource
Sparse data sets, such as VHF collar locations, can be used to fit movement models whose parameters could not be estimated directly from the data.

Jusqu'à maintenant, beaucoup de recherche et de projets de restauratlon de sites miniers abandonnées partout à travers le monde ont été réalisés et la plupart d'entre eux portent en fait sur la...
Post-fire Peatland Vegetation Recovery: A Case Study in Open Rich Fens of the Canadian Boreal Forest
Resource
Fire plays a major role in structuring and the functioning of boreal ecosystems. As peatlands are important components of boreal forests, the impact of fire upon these wetter ecosystems is...
