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...
Conservation of Future Boreal Forest Bird Communities Considering Lags in Vegetation Response to Climate Change: A Modified Refugia Approach
Resource
For some boreal songbirds, limits to forest growth and succession may result in dramatic reductions in suitable habitat over the next century.
Conserving Alberta’s Biodiversity Under Climate Change: A Review and Analysis of Adaptation Measures
Resource
Although ecological transitions are expected to be widespread, under even the least-change climate scenario, ecological change is not synonymous with the loss of biodiversity.
Contaminants in Two West Greenland Caribou Populations
Resource
Two caribou populations in West Greenland were sampled and the kidneys, liver and muscle analyzed for contaminants, including aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and zinc...
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
Contribution of Rain Events to Surface Water Loading in 3 Watersheds in Canada’s Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
To evaluate the importance of rain events to these rivers, discharge and water quality sampling was conducted at river sites in this region. Two approaches were used to collect water quality samples:...
Contributions and Perspectives of Indigenous Peoples to the Study of Mercury in the Arctic
Resource
Arctic Indigenous Peoples are among the most exposed humans when it comes to foodborne mercury (Hg). In response, Hg monitoring and research have been on-going in the circumpolar Arctic since about...
Controls on Methylmercury Concentrations in Lakes and Streams of Peatland-Rich Catchments Along a 1700 km Permafrost Gradient
Resource
Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total mercury (THg) and MeHg...
Creating a Knowledge Platform for the Reclamation and Restoration Ecology Community: Expanding the OSRIN Model Beyond the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the core mandates for the Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN) was to enhance access to oil sands environmental management information. With OSRIN’s mandate ending December 31...

Decision-support Tools to Assess Cumulative Effects on the Cape Bathurst, Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East Herds of Barren-ground Caribou – Project Summary Report
Resource
This report summarizes a project whose purpose was to collaboratively develop decision-support tools that will help northern decision-makers review, explore, and learn about the cumulative effects of...
Deeper Soil Salvaging Depths Produce Greater Cover of Native Plants than Shallow Salvage Depths on a Reclaimed Coal Mine Site
Resource
The deeper soil salvage depth (40 cm) was better than the shallow salvage depth (15 cm) at establishing a forest understory plant community characteristic of the boreal forest.
Defining Habitat Restoration for Boreal Caribou in the Context of National Recovery: A Discussion Paper
Resource
With many boreal caribou population ranges across Canada in non-self sustaining condition, habitat restoration has become an increasing imperative for recovery of this species at risk. With decades...
Delaying Conservation Actions Matters for Species Vulnerable to Climate Change
Resource
Abstract Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species or populations at risk from global climate change, but few translate impact assessments to climate change...
