Meeting Caribou in the Alpine: Do Moose Compete with Caribou for Food?
Resource
The Atlantic-Gaspesie caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an endangered, isolated population that has been declining for decades in response to intensive logging. Timber harvesting has led to a...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
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 Responses by Wolves to Industrial Linear Features and Their Effect on Woodland Caribou in Northeastern Alberta
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...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
No Statistical Support for Wolf Control and Maternal Penning as Conservation Measures for Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Abstract Mountain caribou, a behaviourally and genetically distinct set of ecotypes of the Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) restricted to the mountains of western Canada, have undergone...
Nowhere to Hide: Effects of Linear Features on Predator–Prey Dynamics in a Large Mammal System
Resource
Rapid landscape alteration associated with human activity is currently challenging the evolved dynamical stability of many predator–prey systems by forcing species to behaviourally respond to novel...
Observed and Predicted Effects of Climate Change on Arctic Caribou and Reindeer
Resource
The ability of many species to adapt to the shifting environmental conditions associated with climate change will be a key determinant of their persistence in the coming decades. This is a challenge...
Plant Functional Trait Approach to Assess the Persistence of Seismic Line Footprint in Boreal Peatlands of Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding the mechanisms that control ecosystem functioning based on taxonomic and functional community composition observed on seismic lines can inform restoration and mitigation measures
Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the Habitat of Boreal Woodland Caribou
Resource
Boreal woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are currently listed as threatened in Canada, with populations in the province of Alberta expected to decline as much as 50 percent over the next 8...
Potential Spatial Overlap of Heritage Sites and Protected Areas in a Boreal Region of Northern Canada
Resource
Abstract Under article 8-J of the Convention on Biological Diversity, governments must engage indigenous and local communities in the designation and management of protected areas. A better...
Potential Spatial Overlap of Heritage Sites and Protected Areas in a Boreal Region of Northern Canada
Project
Organization:
This project examined the potential overlap between Gwich'in First Nations (Northwest Territories, Canada) heritage sites and areas independently identified for the protection of conventional...
Predicting Patterns of Regeneration on Seismic Lines to Inform Restoration Planning in Boreal Forest Habitats
Resource
Mapping of oil reserves involves the use of seismic lines (linear disturbances) to determine size of reserves. These linear disturbances fragment forests and in many cases fail to regenerate trees...
Predicting the Cumulative Effects of Human Development on Biodiversity in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
