Amended Recovery Strategy for the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population, in Canada [Proposed]
Resource
The recovery strategy sets the strategic direction to arrest or reverse the decline of the species, including identification of critical habitat to the extent possible. It provides all Canadians with...
An Assessment of Sampling Designs Using SCR Analyses to Estimate Abundance of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Abstract Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly popular method for...
An Integrated Assessment of Impacts to Ecosystem Services Associated with Prairie Pothole Wetland Drainage Quantifying Wide-Ranging Losses
Resource
In many regions, a tradeoff exists between draining wetlands to support the expansion of agricultural land, and conserving wetlands to maintain their valuable ecosystem services. Decisions about...
An Integrated Assessment of Porcupine Caribou Seasonal Distribution, Movements, and Habitat Preferences for Regional Land Use Planning in Northern Yukon Territory, Canada
Resource
This study was undertaken to improve understanding of Porcupine caribou herd distribution, movements, and habitat preferences to assist with developing a regional land use plan for the North Yukon...

Applying Remote Sensing for Large-landscape Problems: Inventorying and Tracking Habitat Recovery for a Broadly Distributed Species At Risk
Resource
Abstract Anthropogenic habitat alteration is leading to the reduction of global biodiversity. Consequently, there is an imminent need to understand the state and trend of habitat alteration across...
Applying Remote Sensing for Large-landscape Problems: Inventorying and Tracking Habitat Recovery for a Broadly Distributed Species At Risk

Anthropogenic habitat alteration is leading to the reduction of global biodiversity. Consequently, there is an imminent need to understand the state and trend of habitat alteration across broad areas...
Aquatic Biological Investigations of the Muskeg River Watershed
Resource
The epilithic microbial and micro-invertebrate communities under conditions of light and shade were studied from April to November 1978
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Resource
While quantitative analyses have traditionally been used to measure overall caribou herd health, qualitative observational data can also provide timely information that reflects what people on the...
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Project
This project looked at local knowledge of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, collected by the Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Co-op (ABEKC). While local observations indicated that the herd was...
Arctic Caribou Contaminant Monitoring Program Report
Resource
This is a report that covers all of the results from a project to monitor contaminants in caribou. Some tests could not be done due to lack of lab capacity during the pandemic. The report concludes...
Assessing the Suitability of a One-time Sampling Event for Close-kin Mark-recapture: A Caribou Case Study
Resource
Abstract Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture...
Audio Data Compression Affects Acoustic Indices and Reduces Detections of Birds by Human Listening and Automated Recognisers
Resource
Increasing popularity in passive acoustic monitoring and the ease with which researchers can accumulate large quantities of acoustic data has resulted in challenges for audio recording storage...
Automated Classification of Avian Vocal Activity Using Acoustic Indices in Regional and Heterogeneous Datasets
Resource
Acoustic indices combined with clustering and classification approaches have been increasingly used to automate identification of the presence of vocalizing taxa or acoustic events of interest. While...
Avian Response to Wildfire Severity in a Northern Boreal Region
Resource
Research Highlights: The effects of fire on birds in the most northern parts of the boreal forest are understudied. We found distinct differences in bird communities with increasing fire severity in...
